2023 And worse Character Creation than a 2012 game

[NOD Flamer]

As usualy im out of the loop of new releases until a week before they drop (don't really consume media that much anymore as modern games are bad 9/10 times anyways).

But heard a lot of praise from this game, so started to look it up.

Now i'm looking at the Character creation and it's really barebones basic, even though this is supposed to be the "best RPG of all times".......

Really the only unique customisation in this game are fringe customisations like, freckles, skin disease thingy and genitalia (but no boob slider for some reason?)

Meanwhile Dragons Dogma a 2012 game has;
Weight slider (affected by height too) that changes;
Stamina regen
Stamina consumption
climbing speed
knockback resist
carry weight

Heigh slider (also affecting weight);
walking/runnning speed
drench depth (how deep in water you can be without becoming wet)
Weapon reach
goblin holes (abilitiy to enter these special areas if small enough)

After this Dragons Dogma also has;
Posture sets (changes the idle and running animations of your character)

Proportion sets (long arms, short arms, long legs, short legs etc)

All these customisations also heavily affect the way you play (as explained) and fit wel into certain types of classes.

THIS WAS IN 2012!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Amazing how we are 11 years ahead and essentially regressed in game design. Let's hope that after the succes of this game (664K players right now). The devs are able to afford better technology and make an actual good character creation next time.

The game was made by a small European indie company from Belgium, have a conscience

You don't even own the game

Sounds like you just really like Dragons Dogma, so go play that I guess. If the only unique customizations you found were freckles, "skin disease thingy" and genitalia, you must not have opened the game yourself.

It will be impossible to beat Dragon's dogma's character creation.

Even if they just copy/paste it, there is simply too many things that drama-queens will complain about. LIke how you can make kids and whatnot.

Even though this allowed you to make memes runs (like making Michael Jackson with kids as companions)

Even with the best character creator: it will alwayw be gimped by the loud western minority that police thoses kinds of things (and probably don't play games anyway) And you can't beat them before this feeling of power of making X Y Z studio cave is their sustenance and powerfantasy.

Tl;DR
A character creator of such quality can create to many "problems" so it will never be done again.

Ok, Dragon’s Dogma was an amazing game, and I’m super hyped for the sequel, but you’re comparing apples to oranges here.

There is a TON of mocap work that went into this game, and that naturally puts limits on what you can do with character creation, at the trade off of having extremely immersive dialogue and cutscenes.

I love both DD and BG3, and I recognize that they’re different games with different ambitions - ambitions which they both achieve phenomenally.

it's made by the studio behind Divinity Original Sin 2, that game alone sold over 1million copies, with 920.798+ people owning the game.

There is 0 excuses to have such a bare bones character creator..

Wasteland 3 almost has more character creation and it was made by an even smaller studio.

He was being sarcastic. Go troll a forum for a game that you own.

You know how high taxes are in Europe?

Wasteland 3 was bought by Microsoft

Dragon's Dogma isn't exactly known for detailed facial expressions or mocap, so eh.

I look at reviews and gameplay before i buy a game. i don't buy games blindly, hence why i looked at the character creator first.

[Kameh]

Then go play your JRPGs then and go away?

[𝗯𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗵𝗮𝘁]

literally doesnt own the game

[mrtame]

Ah yes, Dragon's Dogma. The game with 3 classes, and 2 subclasses each. Definitely a much deeper range of customization options than the 12 classes and 42 subclasses in BG3. But there is no boob slider, so clearly it sucks.
