Please LAWD let this game have great character creator

I'm a really visual person that NEEDS, yes, NEEDS to be satisfied with the character I've created and relate to her in order to really get into the game and actually enjoy it. I've played lots of amazing medieval/fantasy games where it's basically perfect for me, except for the disappointing CC where it only lets me choose like 3 hairstyles, 1 of those hairstyle is the ever so present in all games which is 'the bald look', the other is an upgrade to that in case the players don't want to go complete bald, 'the buzzcut look', and the 3rd one is the chin length feminine style that EVERYONE will eventually choose cause that's the only option they really have.

So in the end, I just don't play the game anymore cause no amount of pretty armor or clothing can compensate for the character that I don't like. Sometimes it's vice versa, have a character I like, but then she walks like how the male char walks and the game only has apparels that I just despise, and the gameplay just sucks.

I even have Dragon Age Inquisition on my shelf right now and still haven't touched it since I went to the CC because oh my sweet summer child, the hairstyles are revolting. Which is a shame cause it's such an amazing game with an amazing story and I can't enjoy it cause I don't like my character. Oh, and please don't tell me to just enjoy the gameplay and story and not focus on the character, that's just who I am.

So please! I pray and will even call all of the people in my neighborhood to hold a mass this sunday so that this game has a CC that is equal in effort to the other content the game has to offer. THANK YOU! <3

  • Since they ad demonic/angelic skin to the 1000$ pack i think there wil be good character customization.
  • I think there will be a decent amount of basic customization since this will be a subscription base game (hopefully something like bdo).
  • I think that they're going to have an interesting way of customization, but there'll certainly be lots of options.

    In the kickstarter tier rewards, they mention "Additional character creation customization options" with tiers 1-3. Assumably, these will not be available in the base game, but may be accessible in the cash shop, where there may be even more customization options available. I think the question isn't, "will there be customization," but instead, "how much are you willing to spend on customization options, if what they have base isn't acceptable to you."
  • Just please -NO "sweet-anime-doll"liken girls and boys.... - it will be looks to "artificial" in game.
  • I didn't say anything about anime doll looking characters. Even the example I stated which is DOTA 2 only approve(well mostly, and from what I remember) sets that doesn't take away immersion, meaning no ancient princess character in a modern sexy nurse outfit.

    I too don't really want that but if that's what players who can afford the game want to look/feel "exclusive" then by all means.
    I'm just saying, if I want to create a feminine or masculine female character or whatever it may be with looks that you know still fit the world and lore then I should be able to. Because it takes away so much when you can only play as a basic looking character, and you can see your hairstyle being used by 90% of the players because the other styles are just too ugly.

    Damn 1000$. A. If it actually looks amazing, and B. If I'm satisfied with how my character looks and wants her in that demon/angel set and C. If the game ends up being amazing and true to what they endorse then just take my money.

    I'm down with this! As long as it's not too expensive and left out the base CC a mess with only few options/content. I wouldn't want to roam around seeing lots of players that looks the same just cause they can't afford the additional CC features.

    I believe we can all amen this! ♥
  • Lol I agree 10000000001% with you for the love of mmorpgs let the character creation be amazing. I want to spend like 2 hours making my sexy fighter and archer.
  • just hire the Black Desert character animator fella or buy their creator, problem solved

    they actually released the creator early so folks could perfect their toon before the game launched
  • So just looked at Steam to find games during the summer, found out The Division is on sale for 50% off. Searched the CC online, saw the hairstyles. Died.

    1 britney spears shaved head, like 3 androgynous hairstyles, and 1 ponytail that everyone probably uses. Not gonna buy the game anyway.

    I'm scared cause this is always the case for the CC in Western Games, especially when the team is composed of only straight guys. I really hope the team working on AoC have some sort of idea about female hairstyles.
  • I hope for this also especially in a fantasy setting needs good character customisation there is nothing worse than playing a game and feeling like oh iam playing as default jar head guy mass effect was very guilty of this plenty of hair choices all of which sadly doesnt mean much when all of these hair styles were a slight variation of short hair all the way to bald, i hope there is a decent amount of long hair styles of at least shoulder lenght with various was its tied from natural, tail, half tail, dreads, perhaps even some skyrim style braids would be cool and thats not even starting into beards which i also hope has a few longish to long styles that include braids, bars and the likes.

    Other stuff that would be interesting to make character look interesting would be stuff like eye color with some less natural options and dead eyes(one eye whited out from a scar), scars of course, warpaint i quite like the way fallout 4 did war paint(war paint could be applied in fallout via plastic surgery of all things but it was still possible) as a sort of layered system that includes various styles that included typical warpaints along with dirt and some fancy looking paints that would be a difficult to apply but cool non the less.

    If we do get good hair and facepaint options i would also like the option to alter it in game it always kinda bugged me that iam wearing my hair in one tie all the time usually and that i cant wash off the war paint or apply a different color or patern, if we have the ability to alter this stuff it could be added as a feature to player housing say theres a mirrior in a bathroom or something that you can alter stuff like that in.
  • i just hope everything jives within the fantasy cat. ... like said before no anime bull shit lol
  • Steven said that character creator will be like the BDO one if he has to compare it with other game so I'm sure that we will have an awesome character creator system ^^;;;
  • Just watched the recent Q&A and there was a question regarding character customisation, see here: https://youtu.be/gcbYJllGfnQ?t=27m10s
