Character Customization?

[SLANK]

Hello, does anyone know how much customization we'll have over the characters appearance? This game looks great and would be an instant buy from me if it had a character creator.

[Roia]

There is some customisation, but we are unsure how much we will able to add. As it's not exactly a priority.

for replayability, customization is required. In Mortal Shell, there is no customization. it's not interesting. Players love to experiment

If it's like Mortal Shell, where you just choose like 3 premade classes I won't play.

This comment is really silly. I really don't see how character appearance adds to replayability of this type of games. You might wanna play sims or something if you like to doll up the characters you are playing.

Actually it's your comment that's silly. If what you were saying was the case then fashion-souls wouldn't be a thing. You might want to try not judging people who enjoy games in a different way than you do. Also, if fashion-souls is something that's important to you, than character creation would most definitely add replayability, that's simple logic.

Fashion souls is a gimmick. You don't play a souls game to make Shrek-like abominations or make your anime waifus. To give you an analogy, you can say that killing your sims in various ways is a thing in SIMS games and that's what makes your heart sing and makes you want to start a new game with a fresh family to kill every now and then, but it is not the main point of SIMS games. You can claim that this is what makes the game fun for you, but it is simply not the point of the game.

Simply put, character customisation is not the main point of a souls-like game. You can enjoy whatever you want, but when an indie developer tries to give a fresh spin on the souls formula with a limited budged, don't expect to have over 9000 wigs, face editor and over 9000 armour pieces. Simply because that is not what makes a souls game a souls game.

No one said fashion-souls was the POINT of the game. The argument I made was that for those interested in it, it extends the life of the game and adds replayability. Please tell me more about why I play souls games. It's incredible when people think their view is the only correct view and anything else is "wrong". People play souls games for a plethora of reasons. Some for the lore, some for the combat, some for the invasions, some of the pvp (different than invasions), some for fashion, and MANY for any combination of these. The fact is that you're absolutely wrong and the people who play souls games for reasons OTHER than what YOU DO want to know if THIS game will appeal to them, which is entirely fair. So take your absolutist opinions and ♥♥♥♥ right off.

wow you are really thick
anyway, I am not here to debate with you. If you have wrong expectations about what different genres of games have to offer, it's not my problem

You're the one who doesn't seem to understand the difference between ASKING A QUESTION and HAVING EXPECTATIONS. Literally the point of asking is to see if the game will have a feature that appeals to me. If it doesn't OH WELL all games don't have to appeal to everyone. I actually prefer games take whatever direction they want and not try to appeal to the lowest common denominator. I can't understand what possesses a person to get so bent over people simply ASKING and VOICING THEIR OPINIONS.

[Dweller Beyond the Threshold]

Well that's a real shame since I've been looking forward to this game but lack of customization is definitely a deal-breaker for me.
Someone needs to realize that people play games looking for different things. I'm not saying this game is bad just because it doesn't have an important feature that I'm looking for. I'm just saying it's not for me but everyone else is allowed to enjoy it.

I'm gonna play this game because I like swords, action combat, and climbing on stuff.

ok

[M4444]

I love character customisation, I really hope there's some. Even if it's as basic as that in Remnant, it's still much better (imho) than no customisation at all.

I like some character customzaition in my games it makes me feel somekind of connection to the world. :)

At least a few basic hairstyles for m/f would be enough
