Character creation

[Fruchtgummi]

So is this a planned feature or will we always have to play this one dumbass?

When I see a survival game with distinctive RPG elements I pretty much like to be able to create a character myself and not be chained to the medieval equivalent of a Justin Bieber lookalike. I just really don't like the idea of playing as the same dude over and over again in a sandbox survival game. That's why I asked the question. If you like the main character it's good for you. I do not. I passive aggressively insulted him. Not you.

I mean what happens once the Main Character dies. You play the heir or am I wrong? I definitely can be wrong here. Maybe I'm mixing something up. Your heir is randomly generated depending on who you marry or are you not? I don't know! So the game gives you the opportunity to play as different looking characters. Why not let me create one from the get go? I don't understand.

--- addendum ---

The steam page even says that you can develop your own character. If there's no character customization you can't do that. You can develop the skills of the character the game hands you. He's not your own. He's the same character everyone else plays. That's why I'm confused on wether character customization is planned or not. It's Early Access after all.

--- addendum 2 ---

Just realized it's not EA anymore. That confuses me even more when I read the store page.

The tags for any game on Steam are user generated. The devs have no control over it, so the info in the tags isn't always correct.
The game has been out of EA for a long time by now.

I haven't seen my heir grow up to adult age, but I'm pretty sure he will look identical to how Racimir (aka, this one dumbass like you call him xD) looked at the start.

That being said, later this year the game will receive co-op, which will come with a new map and a new story.
Nothing other than that has been confirmed yet, but I suspect it will come with some form of character creation? At least, I hope so. :-)
So keep an eye on the game's updates!

Now that's an answer I was hoping for and then some! I dislike myself (a little bit) for being so superficial but even though the game seems to be super interesting, the fact that you are forced to play as that guy is enough to make me not want to play it. I hope something like character creation is coming in the future! If that's the case it will be a guaranteed buy.

Who knows? There are three more secrets to be revealed for the big co-op update. :)

Don't do this to me now ;w;
I can't bear to deal with another game I'm hyped about.

She does that all the time. :(
And no amount of coaxing, threatening or bribing will get any info out of her (i tried xD)

While character creation would be interesting (if it held to the historic design).
The game really isn't suppose to completely focus on your character but the dynasty created (more long term).
Id much rather see a system if offspring taking on the characteristics of the parents in interesting ways instead.

Now character customization would be fun (shaving, growing a beard, etc.)

Manche Leute verdienen Medieval Dynasty einfach nicht....

I think it would be a great step for the devs to take. Lots of people love customizing characters. Would be a good boost! Fingers crossed.
