Oblivion & The Fallout Series Character Creation : Fallout: New Vegas

» Tue Dec 13, 2011 1:26 am

Thank you for the last comment. ^_^ I'm still not convinced about the slider restrictions. If a player wants to create a nose that stretches from ear to ear and a mouth as small as a dot, let them! LOL. It's the players own damn fault if such grotesque distortions cause clipping and yet, the adjustments that I've tried to make (but was hindered by due to other sliders moving) were minor and not likely to cause clipping issues. Correct me if this is wrong but I'm certain the Oblivion creator did not force certain sliders to readjust.

Actually I don't remember if oblivion did the same thing...i think it did....i could be wrong tho....i'd check but I have oblivion on my xbox and my xbox is just recently and currently triple red ringed :cry:

Either way, it doesn't bother me as much as the lighting issue

It's basically the same facegen between the two games.

With the "ronin" facial hair and eyeglasses combination, Fallout 3 and NV is the only game where I can emulate my appearance.

Yeah FO3 let me make "me" almost perfectly

Mass Effect did also....but I already look somewhat like Commander Sheppard so it wasn't too hard to adjust to get it perfect.

My character looks almost exactly like Lee Van Cleef, so im happy with it. It took a good deal of tweaking to get it right but I like the ability to make my character look like whoever I want to. In Oblivion my Nord Barbarian took me about 3 hours of work and he ended up looking alot like Arnold in Conan (default hair styles in that game svcked).

WOW! How about if on the sliders numbers markings were added that way players could remember the settings that suited them making it easier to get that look each time you started & in every Fallout game you had those number settings to go by

:thumbsup:

I agree with Devi Kali you shouldn't need mods 2 get a decent looking character out of Fallout3 or New Vegas when that should have been improved & made easy to use in the first place. I personally don't like FPS & hardly use that option in Fallout3 New Vegas & Oblivion So i'm going to want my character to be created to my liking & it's ridiculous to have to spend 2hrs or more just to get a decent looking character, The sliders are one of the worse things to add to character creation alongside poor lighting. The sliders prevent clipping or other irregularities and deformities...I never had that problem in SaintsRow2 TheSims or other games with character creation Fallout New Vegas should have the option at anytime during game play to redo & adjust your looks from any doctor in the game period

Making a character, and making their appearance were never the same thing to me, and the latter is of least importance IMO. All RPGs allow you to make a character. In my experience, the best RPGs are often the ones with the least customization options, and where the PC can be reasonably anticipated by the developer. Usually an RPG that allows you to create a totally unique character ~tends to not really acknowledge anything significant about them; This is not a good trade off IMO.

No matter how hard I try I always look like a freaky Batman villain. There should be about 100 presets.

There's nothing wrong with wanting to get the best out of character creation. Using a character your satisfied with instead of playing a great game & be stuck with some unlikable starting character, to some character creation is a chance to use their artistic skills & imagination & have that wonderful feeling that it's something you created inner acting in a game environment which also forms more of a connection with that created character & pulls players deeper into the story. That increases the fun & likability of a game for alot of people.
