So I can change my junk, but not my face in a RPG ?
Why do they not allow us to make our own face like we want to, just because they think "Well the players make them look to similar anyway, but here is a slider for a rare skin condition and you junk and you can choose to be body type A,B,C or D or male and female with extra steps as you can't choos both options anyway"

"Surprisingly, there are no face sliders – a very common feature nowadays – and you're stuck with applying presets to your hero's features.
The game's lead character artist Alena Dubrovina explained why there is no such thing and talked about how the character creator can help players express their identity in unexpected ways.She then added that in her experience most fine-tuned characters that players spend hours making look very similar in the end. "So we wanted to avoid that. And if we would make sliders, we needed to make it into something that would be truly unique and wouldn’t look the same."

This seems to be a holier-than-thou thing from the devs. My face means a hell of a lot more to me in a game than how many inches are in my virtual pants. So what that I don't have a art degree, I still want a person that looks like how I want them to look. This already means no sell for me, as I have never found a preset charator in a RPG that looked like me.

There are a lot of options on changing even your preset face. Like hair, facials such as beards, tattoos, eye and hair differences, colors, scars, makeup,.....gheeze seems like a lot changes can be made with the face.

Yes, the 6 faces can get like 12 different hair or something like that. It still seems lazy as they did use a lot of time on stuff that don't matter and isn't a thing you are going to see in the game, or a super rare skin condition that only is in the game beacuse it became popular on social media some years ago, it's already a done fad too.

It really just seems like the focus was elsewhere, and that means the same faces also will be found in the game all the time, as again there is very little random things to do. And again some are race or sex exclusive.

OP if you spend all day playing with the penis slider and ignore the 40 or 50 different face options that says a lot about how obsessed with staring at penis you are.

There are 6 faces, and no not really going to bother with a p* or v* slider that does nothing nd is put into the game for the lols, I don't play RPG to outlive a sexfantasy as it seems some poeple take this game as.

Her point still stands. You can literally change your face from presets and customize it to your liking. Sliders is a very minor gripe, but saying that you flat out can't is just wrong. Making this post irrelevant.

You can't cahnge it outside the settings they have choosen, you can't make you own. And I am not saying it needed to be sliders, but to make a unik face instead of looking like a random NPC is important in a RPG. Din't know that din't matter to many people, but I do like to build my own "person" inside the game.

it has to do with the motion capture and animation, the genitals was to avoid issue with people falling victim to social epidemic bc surprise they get louder than you ppl.

relax if you need to edit ur characters face to the extreme there are mods

and if u wanted to make them fat i have one question.... how does it make sense for a tub of lard to be running around fighting youd need to long rest every 5 min xD

Huh? The faces of my chars will never be seen in the game except for him. I do not care what faces the other players have. And the faces of my chars in other play runs, are going to look different.

Lol. Good one. Got a hearty chuckle with that one. Thanks.

And I do not think Larian wants to get into fat shaming. They can for the npc's however. :p

If I have to use mod I might as well wait or play it some other way, as it really would depend on how the mods are lunch and how much they change.
And I don't see why a person couldn't be fat ? As a wizard, bard or other things it's really not a issue how you look and that you can't well that really just show that some people are still lokked down on more than others these days.
I just find it weird that they put in 4 different "body types" that does nothing put hey if you are short, fat or want a unick looking face you are a freak and isn't welcome to play the game.

But will the nipples also be customisable?

I find with games that use sliders, all the faces end up looking the same due to the fact that the ends of the sliders make the face look mutant, so most of the time I just go somewhere down the middle on most of them.

Personally I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw this game didn't contain many as it's always a chore to go through them to stop yourself looking ridiculous.

Fallout 4 has a excellent char creation. The best I have seen. And there are a ton of different looks you can create with it. And the fact your char had fully voiced dialog, made it even more amazing how well it worked.

Beth stated that Starfield will have the most comprehensive char creator they have ever done. I will not believe that until I get to use it. Going to be hard to beat Fallout 4's.

Why do people feel there will be less face options? Was there an announcement? The current EA is really old...

To be honest I have no idea why people want a genital slider? It's not like it's going to show a penis erect or having any sort of sex. If that was the case the game would get a AO rating and most likely won't sell on multiple platforms.

If people want to see that then they can download the demo of Wildlife.

Tell me you don't know anything about the game without telling me you don't know anything about the game.

It absolutely has sex scenes.

Also its not a slider, its a selector.

From what I saw in a video there is no junk slider. But they did want you to be able to make a human female with a beard and swap out the junk to male. They have to cater to a subculture for digital back pats on Twitter.

This is important in a isometric game?
