Character Creation

[Half-Vampire]

I hope the game features an extensive character creation tools like Souls series not just choose between male and female. The reason why i don't play the first game is that i can't create my own character. Looking forward for this game, i need my Souls fix. :)
(Sorry for bad english)

Just wait for Elden Ring mate

i really dont understand why. i understand that you want awsome looking armor, or awsome animations, but when do you really see your charakters face? most of the time you only see his/her backside. (or your charakters face hidden by a helmet)

In cutscenes :)

Or, revolutionary concept, a checkbox in the options menu, Hide character's helmet.
Minimum effort to implement and more options is always good.

[Neunmalklug]

yes, because big bulky armor and no helmet makes any sense. i prefer a fixed charakter, because you can hire one voice actor and focus on this.
most faces from editors look strange anyway, one more reason to use full plate helmet in dark souls.

Hell naw, my character in Souls series look gorgeous as hell, especially in Bloodborne. I prefer to create my own character to look as awesome as possible, and wear some awesome looking armor and ♥♥♥♥, Fashion Souls. So this im hoping for some Fashion Surge with electric armor and ♥♥♥♥. :D

did you complain about this in the witcher, if you played one of the games?

[Half-Vampire]

I didnt play the game for quite awhile since the 1st Witcher came out, cuz i hate not be able to play my own character. Only recently i forced myself to finish the 1st and 2nd Witcher.

[Neunmalklug]

ok. well everyone has his own taste, would be boring if not. i like fixed characters which are connected to the story. you have a hard time reading books?^^
maybe divinity 2 does a great job with this, a few "origin" characters with background and voice acting, you can even change classes and looks, but not races. or you create a charakter yourself, but this one will miss some cool stuff.

maybe we will find warren again as the last boss, who knows :)

[Half-Vampire]

Mass Effect does a great job with voice acting with origins and fixed character and whatnot. It's still Shepard you know, only my Shepard look different than yours. :)

[Neunmalklug]

good point. it really is the only game (or three) i can remember with good voice acting, interesting story, interesting characters, and charakter creation.

was fallout 4 fully voiced? if only the story would have been great, or nearly enjoyable...

[Half-Vampire]

Fallout 4 fully voiced, with mods its a near perfect game imo. :) I can play it for 10 years to come.

[Neunmalklug]

our taste seems to be totally different :)
but its fine, i just think its a shame that you dont want/cant enjoy the surge 1, its one of my favorite games, it just needs to be longer. thats what i hope for this one.

[Half-Vampire]

Yeah :)
Well, who knows, if i enjoy Surge 2 i might pick up the first game just to know the story.

The difference between the witcher books and the games is that the games aren’t canon.You are geralt of rivia in the games and in books you are reading about him.If it is done well a self created character can immerse you much more in the world.Mass effect is a good example but there is another one right around the corner
