How to completely change character appearance?

[*•°*”˜˜”*°•.Ƹ Ӝ]

I used a crappy default preset thinking I'd be able to change it later. Turns out, you can only do minor stuff like change the hairstyle.
How do I COMPLETELY change my character's appearance??? (eyes, nose, jawline,etc)

Wait... What do you mean by 'first one'?
Will I have to pay next time when I want to change my character's nose?

Yep. 2.99€$ for a nose change.

Don't tell me you didn't notice that this game had more than 30 microtransactions available at launch. And it's getting worse and worse, selling basic features....

I don't know about you but I kinda enjoy watching those once loved AAA publishers shooting themselves in both feet with automatic shotguns lately : Capcom, Blizzard, Bethesda...etc

We even had lootboxes with Kulve isn't that nice? Good thing you didn't have to pay for these too.

I didn't. I ignored extra gestures and stickers but I suspected that your handler's dressed like trash for a reason.

But... to make such a basic feature as changing your looks not free of charge is rediculous. In Dragon's Dogma (also Capcom's) you can change absolutely everything, including name and gender upon completing the main game.
I can't believe it... I thought loot boxes in single player games were low enough...

Game didn't have 30 microtransactions at launch, they were added slowly over time since most of them were ported from the consoles. None of those are even basic features.
Imagine comparing completely optional stickers, emotes and some costumes for an NPC you won't be seeing for most of the game with the kind of microtransactions that lock game items and progression behind a paywall.
Selling basic features would be not even allowing you to change your character's hairstyle unless you pay for it. As for changing your character completely it was never a feature in these games and it makes sense why, and it was added later after the game released cause some people wanted it.

You're completely right it had 17 microtransactions at launch not 30 they added 7 more two months ago and 12 last week, my bad, I will go flay myself in penitence for that awful lack of accuracy on my end.

You think that makes it ok to charge extra for an expected feature every time you want to use it in a 60$ game : you and I have different standards, that's all.

Character edit was never "an expected" feature in this game. And really how many times you need to change a character's looks? It dislike bad microtransactions from games aswell when they affect gameplay but complaining about something that has nothing to do with gameplay is just whining for the sake of it.
Maybe learn how to stick with your character choice in the beginning, or just make a new one.
Not like they gave you a free edit in case your character was fugly.
AND OH NOOOOS THE HORROR OF SELLING STICKERS AND EMOTES AS MICROTRANSACTIONS AT LAUNCH when they were already there from the consoles
Selling an expected feature would be selling you the ability to save equipment presets. But whatever complain for the sake of it.

It was in their previous pc game which is why it was an expected feature and it's also a basic feature because it's not something they added afterwards. It always was in the game and allowing the player to do it again was just a design decision and a flip of a switch. It didn't cost them anything, yet they're charging for it as many times as I need to do it. Don't tell me you fell for the "we are listening to the community" crap when they started selling something they didn't have to sell in the first place. That's no coincidence that the "first one is free" is a callback to teenagers and drugs, and why videogames are currently in the crosshairs of the WHO regarding addictions and gambling.

You posture as someone not caring but you're going way beyond that : Why are you even defending this? From a customer's point of view, that's indefensible! You put it so nicely yourself : if that's a useless feature so why are they selling it? Do you really want the micros getting worse with each new MH game? because that's how you do it.

"That's no coincidence that the "first one is free" is a callback to teenagers and drugs, and why videogames are currently in the crosshairs of the WHO regarding addictions and gambling. "
Lootboxes are gambling you mong, a character edit voucer isn't.
Dragon's Dogma and MHW aren't made by the same dev team but they do share the same publisher Capcom. What is in Dragon's Dogma isn't what is to be expected in MH, especially when they are games that are entirely different settings.
Oh and btw the reason you could change your character completely in Dragon's Dogma is lore related and makes sense to the story, given it wouldn't make sense story wise for you character to change appearence willy nily.
Changing your character entirely shouldn't even be a feature in MHW, except for hairstyle, clothing and some makeup, only reason it was added was because people complained that they ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up at the character creater and their character was fugly and they didn't want to restart over so they asked for it and the devs gave it to us, a free edit on top of that. So yeah they listened.
I hate lootboxes and shady stuff in games but if you're going to ♥♥♥♥♥ about something that isn't worth only for the sake of it you're just looking like a muppet.
Go complain about ♥♥♥♥♥♥ practices in games like CoD, battleflied , fallout 76 ecc. Where actually complaining about "microtransactions" makes sense instead of a game that gives you everything in game and only has some ♥♥♥♥♥♥ stuff in the store that no one wouldn't even know about unless they check the dlc store cause the game doesn't throw it's dlc in your face at every corner.

"verbal abuse" never tought i would argue with a snowflake but here we are.
Must be easy disregarding someone's entire arguement just cause you got offended by a word.

Selling a feature that's already implemented in the game is not cash grab. I see. What about selling additional save slots? Absolutely fine for you, right?

They also happen to share the same developer, CAPCOM.
(Surprise!)

What is in Dragon's Dogma isn't what is to be expected in MH, especially when they are games that are entirely different settings.

So the entirely different setting has prevented them from implementing a free character editor. It's an interesting universe you live in.

Oh and btw the reason you could change your character completely in Dragon's Dogma is lore related and makes sense to the story, given it wouldn't make sense story wise for you character to change appearence willy nily.

So, you're a poor fisher who wants to get their heart from a dragon. They change their gender and name in a muddle of the journey ... how is it story related?
Could you please explain?

Changing your character entirely shouldn't even be a feature in MHW, except for hairstyle, clothing and some makeup,

Why?

Why can I change everything in DD and can not do even a half of this everything in MHW?
Is MHW inferior to DD?

I hate lootboxes and shady stuff in games but if you're going to ♥♥♥♥♥ about something that isn't worth only for the sake of it you're just looking like a muppet.

Because it's a basic feature and selling it is laughable.

Ok, you can not change your character in any way in Bloodborne but Fromsoft isn't selling you this option. Why?

[Leoscar]

I'd rather have the game not allowing me to change my character at all. Selling these is just abuse. Any form of microstransaction in a game you pay for is (though I'm fine with DLCs for the most part). Yes you don't have to use these, but it's there nontheless.
