I'd like to see as much customisation as humanly possible :foodndrink:

As much as possible, just about everything posted above.
Though I'd be happy with more customisable options than Oblivion, and a good UI.

All the above. I'd probably not use the voice option - not necessary and would slow things down as it reads aloud what I just clicked on already.
One thing I didn't care for at the beginning of Oblivion was the lead-in movie going to 20-30 minutes of "click and slide", then FINALLY getting back into the story introduction.

I would rather they said "New Game? OK, set up your character. Done? Good! Here goes the intro movie, then then there you are in the dungeon. Maintains continuity.

Oh, and yes, the lighting was terrible in Oblivion's character creation - you're in dim lighting, hard to make skin-tone coloring selections.

Yea i did mean lighting lol & someone i think suggested a full camera rotating view with adjustable lighting when creating a character. I thought that would be good

Tattoos, scars, body type, more hairstyles, more eye colors (I want some crazy eye colors as well. This is a fantasy game after all.) and beards.

1. Different PRE done faces that look good (of which you can choose then customize from).
2. Plenty of hair choices for long and shot, with ones that look good and less of one sthat are absurd and hardly anyone uses.
3. Decals and things to add to your character, things like scars, earrings, tattoo's, facepaint, etc.
4. Not to overwhelming with sliders. I'd rather have a good selection of things that look "right" and less of a ton of sliders that makes it hard to find something that looks "good" without messing up something else.
5. Proper lighting that looks the same as in the real game world. Not dark, not lit from a light source, but full out and about real lighting lilke you'd see when you get out of prison into the open world.

What i'd like to see:

Wide variety of hair styles/facial hair
Custom eye color
Changing body proportion

I would like to see more choice in hairstyles and height/weight/muscle sliders (a la Star Wars Galaxies for example?) And also the ability to change hair/beard styles in the game, through a barber or something. I would also like the ability to gain/lose muscle and weight. But that can be left as a mod

Body control would be nice. The more options the better, but at least sliders for body weight and height.

Character Creation:

I'd like to see about 20 Pre-Fabricated models that were already tweaked by the designers that already looked really different and cool, so I could first see what the engine was capable of creating. If I wanted to then take their base model and tweak it further, I could do that, or I could just move to the next aspect having chosen a cool character model. I don't like that you had to either randomly choose a character that looked like the Toxic Avenger character, or you had to spend hours tweaking his face just so it wouldn't look like a Play-Dough monstrosity, hahahaha. Give us some already made cool characters to choose from first, let us see what can be done, and then work from there.

I'd like the lighting improvements suggested above too.

I'd like the that whatever portion of the character you are working on could be zoomed in on and the character should automatically list from side to side to give you the variation in angle to see if the choice you're selecting looks good from many angles ...

I'd like something to make up for a lack of Class selection, so that Character Creation is still very involved and feels full, not quickly rushed through like a Dungeon Siege game, where you select your character and begin. I HATE THAT the most. Character Creation is the sacred duty of any TRUE RPG. It should be doted upon excessively with love and attention to all facets.

For example, I think Character Creation should involve you selecting from a list of elements about your personal upbringing, history, family members (whether they are alive in another Province like Morrowind, or dead, but not in Skyrim because how could they know how to program your father's story dialogues in advance? No, they can still get rid of your family members, but they could exist.) That way bad guys who know you could threaten them to taunt you. And some trackers might have found you because they went to your parents house first. Some of your enemies may even have killed your parents to enrage you, or to get vengeance on you for messing up their plans in some way.

You could also assign some "old friend" that the game could make a Companion who returns to visit you. You give him a name at Character Creation and they are instantly your loyal best friend from childhood. You select from a small list of ways you helped each other, like he saved your life, or vice versa, and the game has some pre-fabricated plotlines already fleshed out for each scenario and later he comes to find you and become a part of your life again, help you on quests, or just do something for you in the town where your home is to repair your home, or help you find a girlfriend, or find you some jobs ... so you feel like he's still your best friend.

I would also like to see more reasons why you have flaws or scars in your character's face or body (if there are any flaws in Skyrim's char creation) ... like why do you have that nine-inch scar across your face? You get a list of reasons : I was in the Durgoth skirmish 10 years ago. That way you can meet other soldiers in your travels who were in the battle too, who instantly like you or feel kinship to you through your shared war exploits. In this way, there could be a rich tapestry of friends, allies, and old enemies to flesh out your character, making him immensely different than any of your other characters you create for Skyrim.

Each game would have entirely new aspects beyond just the plot or random quests that provide new experiences, storylines, and sensations beyond the default game, without even needing any Mods to do this.

I want more sliders obviously. Bust slider FTW.

I also don't want a limit put on how wacky you can get with it. Fallout was okay but it felt very limited compared to Oblivion. OB was great but i'd love it to be even more in depth.

For the love of Chri-.. Azura, add complexions! For starters, simply having multiple skin textures, then on top of that things like freckles, scars, tatoos, etc.

Would LOVE to see a voice changer, even though we wont be hearing much of our own voice.

Bigger selection of hairstyles is a must, Need a real "Long" style.

That's a great idea. I hadn't even thought of that. Different races having different complexions souALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD!!!

i am not sure if its been said, but i want better lighting, my characters' faces never turned out the same after i viewed them in in game lighting.

Have you notice in character creation in Oblivion that in profile that one side of the face is different to the other. That what I don't want.

Able to rotate the body, and move the camera everywhere. Provide lighting presets so as to let us see how the character would look like in dark or bright scenes.

I made a thread with that suggestion but it vanished in minutes

With the option to modify the body we will get the option to see the body to, probably two cameras as in the sims2.

As for modifications I want a Khajiit with long tail and small ears.

Fallout 3/New Vegas were already huge improvements so I can only imagine it to be better.

All of you have great ideas, why aren't you on the SaintsRow3 suggestion forums too lol
1. Full customization for companions
2. Wings

I'm sure everyone has seen the game play trailer. What do you think, hopefully it won't have the character creation nightmare lighting & you can make a beautiful female character with the character creation

I wanna see:
Tattoos.
The shaved head look (not shiny bald)
Character Voices (Not speaking just a choices of different "Uhhhhgg" noises like when u did a power attack in oblivion and it was never fitted in with the characters age/appearance, this would also effect Dragon Shouts)
The Ability to change stuff after initial creation like hair/facial hair
And better skin colors (no more pikey looking imperials looking like they were raised in a tanning booth)

Also this isnt really char creation but the ability to choose where you sheath your 1 handed weapons *(buy your side on you back) and whilst I'm on the subject Staffs should be used like a walking stick when not in combat.

I really liked the way sliders affected related features in Oblivion and don't want my character to be voiced by an actor, but we agree on lighting. There shouldn't be skin tone surprises when your character emerges from the starter area.
