Please let us change our appearance after the intro :(
Just met the character that allows you to respec your class, but there's no option to change appearance. I can understand not being able to change race or gender for technical reasons, but come on. Not even a different hairstyle?

Same man, my character has a nose piercing which I didn't see at creation. I want it removed asap. I kinda want to start over and lose 4 hours of progress (not much at all in the long run tbf) just to change it. I'm hoping a patch or mod will make it possible.

I get the feeling. Personally I didn't like my character's hairstyle, it looks odd in some angles, but I also don't feel like starting from scratch just to change that.

Second that!

Seriously? Can't Change hair?

Cmon Man. That is like Bare Bones Functionality that should be in the game. Stop making the simple everyday stuff a Trial. If it comes in more than one color then have an option to change it to that color (Talking about Cyberpunk 2077 and Cars here, keep up).

ALWAYS need to allow changing hair. Conan: Exiles forgot that.

Those are "identity" not gender options, check again and you will see

Yeah that's the exact same thing. Gender identity =/= biological sex.

It's a strange omission, since you could do it in both Original Sin games.

It would be nice especially given how buggy portraits and stuff is.

My character has the blackest hair possible in character creation, her portrait looks like she has gray hair.

I couldn't even make the race I wanted to make because their customization options are entirely bugged.

I'm extremely disappointed with that.
Modern rpgs can't just be complete, two steps forward, then 3 steps back.

or just create your character correctly to begin with.. also i doubt it matters in the long run

Screw all that, start by adding some attractive character models. Not a single 8+ of 10 in this game.

Wrong, if you notice in the genital options, you can pick only one or the other. Just like in real life, there are only 2 genders.

My point is that the game doesn't explicitly acknowledge the binary gender system. Instead, it allows you to create a customized representation using various features according to your preference. For instance, you can have masculine attributes while adopting a female identity within the game.

8 is a stretch for shadowheart honestly. I am sick of ugly t00ns
