Gothic 1 Remake Character Customization

[Supreme Emperor Lord As Asriel]

The Player should be able to :

Change Hair Style and Colour
Change Beard Style and Colour
Change Skin Colour
Change Eye Colour, eyebrow colour
Modify Head Shape, Neck, Shoulder, etc
and all the other things i have missed

Maybe be able to select different types of clothing to wear at start

[D'amarr from Darshiva]

No.

A lot of development time would be wasted on expensive character customization - and "all the other things" you've missed include physique/body shape, muscle volume, pigmentation & scars & tattoos, sex,...

Preferably, the game would support modding, i.e. there would be publicly disclosed documentation about related file formats, data structures, APIs.

The official game release ought to focus on (re)playability, so that especially first time players will be attracted to the gameplay and Gothic IP and won't quit in rage.

No, most of games offers that so you can play something else. There is no reason to destroy unique game.

DOn't you want your character to stand out, thats the other problems with other games and since this game has not released yet that still can happen.

I Prefer Black Hair, Ponytail Hair, Goatee Beard

So devs have a choice. Listen to you and risk negative reviews at launch from gothic fans (because they will mostly buy this game at the beginning) for changing ICONIC main character (Already happened in a teaser) and because negative reviews, game could not sell well as expected. You don't know how many people don't buy games because they see "mixed" reviews.

Or they can just make the main character like in original gothic and maybe few people will be mad.

Hm....

dude you're asking a lot from a remake of an old game
you don't NEED any of that to enjoy it

[kestar]

I think the reasonable thing to ask is if you could make you character shave his head and wear tattoos when he joins the Swamp Camp. I always found it odd how he’s the only guy with hair and no tattoos even if you join.

That would be reasonable. The furthest i would take is allowing for some light costumization options like changing your hair style and beard, maybe tattoos. It doesn't change much but it's safe to assume a prison colony would have a variety of styles and tattoos. Now a character creator type thing would be too far.

Eh, this is Gothic, not Elder Scrolls.
Being just that random dude who never gets to tell anyone his name and is unremarkable at first glance is part of the point.

Negative, chief.

How much swampweed did you smoke to come up with that Idea?

[BurtalMaster]

I think the team should not focus on such a feature but, make a free dlc, like with witcher 3 "Beard and Hairstyle Set" dlc after release, edit: if the game is successful and the fans want this

He had a vision, the Sleeper showed up to him in a dream. The Sleeper said "go to the forums in the swamp and tell them that we need full mug customization, we need blue haircuts, pink haircuts, and every single color we could think of, all together mixed with a human sacrifice and the magic of the rainbow Sleeeper!!!!"
