What would & wouldn't you like to see in the character c

Post » Sat May 28, 2011 11:03 am

Things i would like 2 see in the character creation
1. Slider bars not effecting each other when creating a character
2. A voice option for your character
3. Dual wield, spells included
4. Large hairstyle selection
5. Proper lightening for character creation
6. Shops to change your character's looks at anytime

A character voice would be the biggest disappointment for me. The lighting needs to be better too imo. Also better colouring of the face and neck. Those are the biggest things for me, although a better variety of hairstyles would be greatly appreciated :) I'm most looking forward to seeing what the customisable bodies look like, too - was not expecting that one!

You don't specify what it is that you would and what it is that you wouldn't want to see. Changing character looks during the game sounds like a bizarre MMO invention.
Dual wielding spells is already confirmed, but what does it have to do with the character creation interface?

I think the OP named it all mostly. The things I wanted most (Beards and changing body build are already confirmed in, so it's already a good step up for me)

i played oblivion first and just now got morrowined i was shocked to find how little character customization there was in morrowind...

also i would like to be able to change what my character looks like later on as well... in my third oblivion character i made him perfect except i totally forgot to change his height which i didnt notice until a couple days later at which point i noticed my awesome Breton was like 4 1/2 tall... i was a midget (no offense to any vertically challenged people here) but was too far in to want to go back and change this and it bothered me the rest of the time... also this hasnt happened to me but what if after 50 hrs of playing i get tired of the way my dude looks... lets just say that my first character i made (this is completely hypothetical of course) was named Stridder and looked exactly like Aragorn did in LOTR (damn it was so perfect.. i mean hypothetically of course) and lets say 50 hours in i thought you know Aragorn is cool and all but im young and he's too old i want a younger character so i make him look exactly like Eragon (now this part really is hypothetical cuz Aragorn is way cooler and much more bad ass and i would never trade a ranger for a farm boy who fantasizes about beastality all the time... sicko) anywho i should be able to do that if i wanted... now of course changes races shouldnt be allowed or changing anything important like birthsigns and traits and stuff... just looks

A choice to have a beard, even if you're a woman. Bearded ladies are the bees knees. :hubbahubba:

Better graphics? oh, checked.

Changing looks would be girly. I'd take it if you could only move sliders 20% each time in facial features, to keep it similar.

Improved faces
Body Scaling(Not just fat/skinny but a slightly more detailed setup would be nice. )
Improved Hair(Not sure about the long hair in the screens, looks kinda like a cape in one screen, which is weird considering its...hair..

That's about it. I am pretty sure most if not all of this has been handled to some degree, so I am really not worried.

Regarding changing looks - I wouldn't want to change anything that wouldn't be changeable IRL (and not including cosmetic surgery, either), so hair, beard / no beard, makeup etc would all be changeable, height definitely not. Tattoos could be added but not removed. Maybe scars too.

You can have sliders not effect each other, other games do it, SaintsRow2, TheSims, didn't Mass Effect have sliders not effect each other. It can be done in games & has been done before it's only one more annoyance in character creation that's unnecessary

It's implemented though so you don't have ridiculous looking characters though isn't it? So you don't have someone with a GIANT nose and teeny tiny mouth?

I don't know much about it though so may be wrong...

I would like (this is stuff that hasn't been confirmed or denied):
1. Let me grab the face end edit with the mouse. Maybe keep the sliders for fine tunning.
2. Body morphs! Not just fat, slender and muscular but the full spectrum. Let me edit height, muscularity, fatness, proportions etc. by the use of dragging and pulling. Google EVE Online Character Creator to see what I mean.
3. Apply the same principle to hair
4. High-res character textures and easy to use character creation interface
5. Decent lighting for the character creator section. Oblivion's was a joke and Fallout3/NV has that stupid chargen-o-matic thingy with a blurry and horrible interface.
6. Not exactly chargen related but I'd like to have hair and clothing affected by physics.


I wouldn't like:
1. Limited body options
2. Low-res textures
3. bad lighting or another o-matic interface gimmick. Let me create beautiful characters, don't gimp me! :P

Meh, my character isn't very important to me. I play first-person.
I'd much rather want Bethesda to focus on even better graphics or bigger world or better environment, etc.
Also, we know the characters look good already, and I'm happy with that.

I feel at the very least we should be able to change hairstyles, and beards whenever we want for a bit of gold. Not exactly morph our face though.

I also feel the slider bars shouldn't effect each other, and I'd prefer to have actual eyebrows as opposed to airbrushed one via a face generator.

@ hlvr
Oh, I'm not the screenshooting type I just want to be happy with my character's looks and want to be given an ample array of possibilities when customizing him/her and make it truly unique.

Hopefully there's a female character choice.
The option to have one eye a different color then the other would be nice, something to add a more unique look
An option customize vampire or werewolf features if they're in the game would be nice

I don't care about hairstyles or gothic latex suit vampires (I have a partner), but I want proper RPG character creation, including favoured skill and birthsign/trait choices, as in Morrowind or Daggerfall. See here:

I would love to have the option of lazy eye. A choice of 1 to 10 regarding the severity of the condition. This would also have an impact on first person view.

I think Daggerfall customization is already out of the question, I mean that's a whole nother ball game when it comes to rendering issues.
