character creator

[Rexbert]

have they shown any signs of re-implementing the character creator as seen in their pre-release/gaming event footage? the one we have feels like several steps back, and i'd honestly be happier with the half-baked version from back then than the one now. it kills me inside to see people be like "LOOK I MADE JON SNOW!" and its some 45-year-old-looking 20-year-old with jowls the size of ham hocks and eyes set so deep he has no room for a brain.

every character looks like a close relative of your brother from the story mode, for christ's sake, and all the women have goofy triangular pinheads or look like they're wearing someone else's face over their own. every "muh pretty character waifu" post or mod looks the EXACT same. the range of creation is absolutely minimal compared to something they ALREADY HAD that was superior, and i need someone to tell me it'll be alright and it's going to get better.

they not even talk about it, so most likely a no

I always thought the female NPC's in the towns looked like they have crazy eyes, and ALL the town NPC's look like inbreds.

I wish they did.
The prerelease seemed a lot better, in fact ,they showcased several celebrities and other figures of note.
Not all of them perfect, but light years ahead of 'questionable ethnicity potato head'.

If the timestamp gets wrecked: it's at 2:39

Edit:
As to give you hope:
I can't really give you hope for true change, but:
Perhaps a mod can solve this. Perhaps TW didn't really kill the old ways, only circumvented them with the new system.

For example, you can copy character looks (and smithing stuff) with control C and control V, copy and paste.
Perhaps it's possible to doctor the string that is generated with a copy, and then override the game limits with a paste of the doctored string.

But I can only guess about that.
But if that were the case, then maybe it's possible to reverse engineer the code and then create a third party tool to generate characters there.

yes yes yes all those chars they showed off are lightyears ahead of anything we can make in-game now. i guess you're right, best hope is modders... of course... maybe once the tools come out they can overhaul the char creator
