They ditched character customization

For predetermined characters. I pass

[Stuie]

Unlike all the other whining and ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ in this forum, this actually matters. Was really hoping for character creation choices and a somewhat sandbox experience. Guess I'll move along.

I mean in the orignal post where they talked about character customization, they did say that they originally planned discrete characters, so maybe they just backtracked on that.

also they did say that its going to be limited customization

[Howl]

no creation is a pass for me

[Shadowfox]

kinda lost me a little with this might still buy it but it went down in priority.

can you share a link where the developers confirm this?
I am rather sad if its true. I was pretty exited about the option to create my own hero.

BOOOOO!!!
By the way what the developers are trying to say is that its much cheaper and easier to have preset models for characters rather then allow us to create a unique one. They also decided to justify this buy hiding it under story reasons hoping that most of us will bite.
Sad that it ended up being too much from a budget and or technical side for them to handle.

They probably wanted to avoid Suicide Squad KTJL’s issues.

I was excited for character customization as well. Off the wishlist with you.

Wait did they? I thought that was sweet baby's work, and as far as I can tell they've been kicked off board. I was really excited to hear that, because customisation was the main drive for me. I really hope this doesn't hold true.

good, now we won't have to see a million "check out my character" posts on reddit and wherever

[BiggieTheDog]

That was one of the main draws for me. Thats disappointing.

[UnlivingEnd]

Yep, it's gonna be a pass for me too. Nice job slashing your potential audience in half or less devs.

probably they ditched it to make the characters "diverse".... well diverse according to their ideas :))

It would make more sense to let people choose what they want to play as if that was the case.

Considering that this change was made after they left SBI and after they decided to do wordless storytelling instead of whatever was planned with SBI, I'm assuming that blank slate character customization doesn't fit well with the newer narrative they want to tell now.
