Character is black
Not saying anything is wrong with being black, but I made my character white. And when I load in, my character has dark skin. Is that their idea of a tan? Was my character laying in the sand for hours on end before waking? Is there a fix to this?

Edit: I did find a fix for it. I had to make my character almost pale white. So adjust to your preferences, and have fun.

I heard using the scissors enables you to edit your character?

I thought that was for hair only, but I can give that a try.

I remember this from ASE. Each death made the skin darker until it was black after several deaths. However, I am not sure if this was in Singleplayer or Multiplayer. Looks like this has never been fixed, neither in ASE nor in ASA.

I've never searched for a fix because most time the skin is fully hidden under the armor :D

True. It doesn't really bother me. Like I said, nothing wrong with being black lol. But it just wasn't the skin the color I chose to be. But oh well. It isn't stopping me from playing. Although, I wonder what happens if we make the skin color white as a ghost and i wonder if it'll darken to a normal white skin color instead of the deep dark tan

Hmmm...you know I was thinking the other day that my character looked darker than they started out. I wonder if that's what's going on? But, it's kinda okay because the longer you're outside the darker your tan gets...so kinda makes sense. ;)

The irony is I am dark skinned and I feel my character sat in the deep fryer too long lmfao I tried changing it but have just accepted I am a burnt chicken nugget.

I have a fix for it. If you don't want to be a burnt chicken nugget, give your character a lighter skin color. I had to make mine almost pale white. your skin color will darken, but it'll look normalish. Mine still is a bit dark, but a good tan for sure.
