Any talk of new female creation designs?

[SeattleSciren]

Has there been any discussion about changing the female character creation models?

I ask because the most current discussion I found was in 2022. I really dislike the "female" linebacker looks to the characters in this game. I realize that there are all sorts of shapes and sizes in the world, with that being said, why make the females and males all look the same?

Because some people cried that female models were unrealistic and misrepresenting women. So now they all look like a bag of change... just like RL.

Funny, how no one complained about the males char models with full heads of hair, rippling six packs and arms like tree trunks. Those are't unrealistic in any way it seems.

Makes me wonder who those "some people" were. Its one of the reasons I and my friends quit playing...a bunch of fugly female characters. I guess I shouldn't be surprised just by who this game is made by.

they always looked terrible. all of them. there is one face on both that is "barely alright" everything else is just ugly-town.
This game could have come alot farther if they had used a better character editor interface with alot more options. this is runescape vanilla tier character editing.

people like to build their own look for their characters. A simple height slider even goes a long way for visual differences on the battlefield. Which makes things more realistic artificially. but it works.

i hope they do a char editor update and give out a free redo to all characters. that would be mint. I dunno if it'll ever happen. But here's to hoping.

Amazon didn't cater to thr erp or coomer community. Rookie move, now the game has 14k active player.

i've never understood the idea of, "i don't like the way my char looks, so i can't play the game."

I guess i get the concept of real people don't look like that.. Mostly it seems woman complaining about the giant tits skinny waist, round ass. But, as i said, real men don't look like video game heroes either.

That's often the entire point. This character is the ideal, not the norm. I can't shoot lighting bolts out of my arse and smite all my foes with skill and guile either.
If i wanted a gimpy middle aged man with bad knees, i don't have to play a game for it.

Personally, when it comes to games, i really don't care what my char looks like. I've played many games with preset char models and it never bothered me. Hell, i loved the witch doctor in D3. You ever looked at that guy.... jeesh!

When it comes to game developing, i care about the game, not what i look like. But it seems a all or nothing sort of thing. Either you let people create what they want or say ♥♥♥♥ it, this is what the char looks like, deal with it. In the middle just seems to piss people off.

Personally, i think if the game is good, it doesn't matter what the char looks like. But maybe i'm just a weirdo.

Really? You knew to the world, people buy overpriced crap like bags, shoes, clothes, cars based on the brands everyday. The bottom line is people are stupid. lol...

They never intended to make a MMORPG but a Sandbox Survival game with everyone with the same hitbox and same visual ... PVP were the primary goal then happened this ... no comment

You don't care, other people do, that's why it comes up all the time for discussion. The character creator is so basic and mundane for 2023.

Numbers don't lie & character orcs looking style is one of the MAJORs reasons why peeps left even before reaching lvl60... not even 2 years later game playerbase is around 10-15k and goes down day by day, cheaterboards & seasons didn't bring peeps back enough to worth it & those that came back they left after few days too.

But hey, they will use the same engine for the LotR, so the characters look will fit better in that universe

They couldn't get this right so what hope is there for another LotR? That will be another epic failure.

Yeah where them belfs, milfs and furries at AGS? We needs more sex leg in here. What kind of female wants to play a fully clothed character that represents how she might actually look after 40?

Ooh sorry I forgot the chitstorm Blizzard went through before they censored WoW even going so far as to turn a female character in a painting into a banana.

True, but at least there we do not have expectations to have & play decent characters...

You have an inferiority complex about Blizzard/WoW - all you ever do is defend NW by running them down. You are right, the character creator in NW is amazing and really representative of modern programming wonders and development.

Since you are a member of a woke group on Steam, I expected nothing different from you.

So they have the same hitboxes and can use the same armor models.

They've mentioned expanding the character creator options in the past, but thus far haven't done, announced or teased anything.

Considering how soft and sheltered the players are ♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥ will probably be first , followed by pronouns and ♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥ , say anything normal in chat and people get offended and report you and AGS bans anyone who doesn'r kiss the ass of ♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥ culture .
