How In-Depth do you wish to see character creation go?

This seems to always be my main point when talking about pre-alpha games. Many CCSs (Character Creation Systems) either lock you to super specifics or let you creator some truly terrifying monstrosities. I would like to see like racial presets, that you can freely edit accordingly. For myself personally, I'm looking to play a Cleric-Bard Emperyan Elf. I normally always play elves in games <strong>UNLESS</strong> they are super awkward looking.
An example, Skyrim. I could not touch the elves in Skyrim, no mod could make them look like the elves I was used to (Archeage, Tera, Legend of Zelda). Another point I want to touch on is muscle definition, NOT EVERY MALE wants to be ripped like the gods, and not every female wants to be slim and busty. Intrepid please please please, allow us to choose if we want to be muscular or not.
Now with all that said, the thing that ties all my wants together for me. I don't want to be short, skinny, youthful looking and have the voice of a 40-year-old man. On the other end of the spectrum, I don't want to be a Tall, bulky, and gruff woman and sound like a child. I would love for intrepid to either include a voice pitcher or different voice types.
That's about all I can think of for myself. What all do you guys want to see within the CCS?

  • Not to far because, if u saw othergames you could make **** af characters. So i hope they keep it realistic and not overly fantasy.
  • I was deeply disappointed that the Black Desert character creator did not have a 'random' feature hence I hope Intrepid will not repeat the same mistake.
  • I hope it will be a deep character creation system where you can change a lot of things about your chars features.
    Add in scars, or tattoo's, make-up for female characters being able to change the nose or mouth.
    Not over the top, but realistic and a few nice colours to create that nice hairstyle you like.
    Also being able to choose from a few different voices that you think will match your character. And as OP stated not sounding like a 40 year old male while looking 18.

    They intend to have alot of features if they follow what BDO did

    I hope they keep something along theses lines because it pretty amazing really
  • BDO has probably the best system. I would like to see something like that. The important thing is that they will not allow players to make unrealistic looking characters which would ruin immersion for everybody else.
  • Thanks for that, it would indeed be great if it was anything like BDO, looking forward to hearing more about in the future.

    Yup I totally saw that, it was the first thing from this game i searched for. But im mostly worried about the things i stated because games often neglect that (much like BDO Did with voices and muscle definition)
  • i want tattoos you can place anywhere on you body. not like ESO tattoos that only go on arms chest or legs or back. i want neck and face tattoos and as many as you want. As for making people not be "immersion breaking" ugly people have always existed and people who had some strange body art have also always existed so there is no immersion breaking for me. I would say things that are not physically possible like putting you head where your foot would go but other than that go for it.
  • @Archangelus They said No on "the allow players to make unrealistic looking characters"
    So example Short female Dwarf with Breast bigger then her body isn't going to be allowed

    @Beorn Yep glad to be assistance :P Love the profile pic xD

    @crymthann Tattoos scares etc... I believe you will be able to do all that sorta stuff in this "CCS" However designing the tattoo your self instead of presets I don't know but I think that would be a really cool idea to add in!
  • The best character creator in any game imo is The Sims 4! Am I the only one that didn't think BDO character was that good?? For an MMO it was good I guess? Is an in-depth Character creator like the sims 4 too hard to implement in an MMO? I don't understand how games are made lol. just wondering.

    Examples of how In-depth the character creator in sims 4 is, okay so some of these sims are using a lot of CC lol, but look at how unique their facial features are from each other. You can shape a sims face in the sims 4 like a clay sculpture! they should have a drag&pull type method like in the sims 4. It would gives us more freedom to make different ethnicitys and unique characters :):

  • Pesonally as far as options go i think that the best so far were Aion and Tera as far as choices go. BDO was good but gender locking made it not quite as good as Aion or Tera.

  • You are not blocked. This forum is just full of frustrating posting bugs. We have been toldthat they are working on a new forum, :)

    I guess I am in the minority. I like a unique look but not wanting a 2 hour design session. Weird extremes are not something that I like either so I am with most opinions, there.
  • I do believe a Sims 4 like CCS would be amazing, I also believe it would be just a tad too much for Ashes. Unless we're just talking about the body proportions I feel like diving into things so as individual characters mannerisms (I. E. Walking styles, Idle personality, etc.) in a game this huge would just get out of control. It would be nice though if it was something they could achieve.
