Will there be a character creator/selection?

[SadPotatoCatto]

As the beacon of pure joy and love in the gaming community, I want to know if I can be as cute as possible in every game I enjoy.

PS, if the game has photo mode, I am literally pre-ordering it for my birthday.

They said in a recent deep dive video that the player has "no specified age, race, or gender, nor do they have a physical appearance", it's being kept ambiguous on purpose so anyone can headcanon whoever they want in the role. I would like the option to choose male or female, but the baggy clothing and gloved hands are fine enough, if they're actually truthful about the no set protagonist.

How would that work though? Does the player character not have any sounds?

Just Imagine the sounds, use your headcanon while you are at it to formulate the gameplay too.

I imagine there aren't any grunts or pain sounds, I haven't noticed any when watching preview footage.

Hey you know how you can make a character 'whoever they want in the role'? By making them in a character creator! That way you don't have to headcanon anything, you just are. Character creators make games better.

first-person character creator would be pointless

No it's not, Cyberpunk have that for photo shoots.
But I don't mind personally. I'll buy this game.

Then that's a safe removal from wishlist, :deadrat:

Dumbest reason not to play a game.

Thats your opinion. I feel the same as sadpotatocatto

Oh, I agree. I would prefer to know who I am (and choose myself, in a game like this), I was simply stating what the devs have said regarding the player character!

I agree that no character creation is extremely disappointing, the perfect option for me would be the Bethesda was where you can have both 1st and 3rd person. But.. if you only focus on that part then you’d miss a ton of masterpieces starting with games like Dead Space and Mass Effect and ending with more local but still absolutely unforgettable like STALKER series or METRO series .

This thread made me laugh so hard, not because of the topic but because of the few people thinking tastes and choices for not playing a game is dumb. It's like telling someone they should play a FIFA game when the other person has told them they don't like sports games. But for the topic itself I have to agree I like my games with CC in them as it adds a bit more enjoyment to them.

No character creator is just fine. Avoids a whole lot of extra development time, lets the player use their own imagination better while playing, and intelligently side steps the social engineering drama many recent titles have unwisely bogged themselves down with.

Screw character creation

If this is true. Than I would not mind giving the game a try. Though last time a game promised this. We got the game Rage and their was pain grunts. Which really broke my Immersion. I was like. "my character would not sound like that."
Honestly I am going wait for post launch and see a first 30 min video of the game. Depends on if the main character is a pure mute or has pain grunts.

I watched Spiffing Brit's two hour murder video, and the character makes absolutely zero noise, but does have a character model when you look down, which unfortunately leans towards a more male shape despite the baggy clothing. I would love an option to choose a more feminine body at least, but it is what it is, I suppose.
