Very much what Bionuts said. Mixing up my characters is apart of why RPGs are my favorite form of Video Game.

You could also make a Gollum, as @happydaiz posted on the DD thread. I haven't seen an Aragorn yet, but I'm sure someone has done it.

Ha! I didn't know you posted this.  That pawn was a hoot; I should have hired him when I had the chance, as I haven't found him since.

I did see an Aragorn ages ago, as well as several Garrus pawns. I made my own rendition of Iorveth, ala TW2, in my first playthrough.


One of the things I love about DD's character creator is that you can actually create characters of varying skin tones, as Elton John is Dead said. With scars, even!

And...kind of off topic, but in this shot, you can see that the same armor can actually fit different shapes and sizes. And most armors seem to have an alternate appearance for male/female.

^ Tell me the name of that armor now!!!

[happy_daiz]

In the bottom pic? That's the Carrion Mantle, with a Hellfire Cloak - you can get it in DD: Dark Arisen, from level 3 cursed armor.

DD really motivates the player to customize their characters, too, since there's a rating system for appearance.

I've lost count of all the 1-star appearance ratings I've received for my pawn. I'm super motivated.

Pros:
-Shinon's abs

Cons:
-any place lacking Shinon and his abs

About 90% of the DD community disagree. They're all crazy.

I was reading this thread, and I had a thought - what would you say to a CC system where body shape was connected to the actual physical stats of the character (and could actually change in the game as your stats change).

What I mean is - a character with high strength might have bigger muscles (perhaps American Football or Bodybuilder physique), a character with high dexterity might have sleeker leaner musculature (like a runner or a swimmer), a character with high constitution might have higher stature and wider shoulders. Because it's sort of funny that my strength 10 mage has the same bodytype as a warrior like Alistair, or Carver, and seems much more muscular than Fenris.

What do you think?

[Kallimachus]

Never played Fable 2 (I'm a PC player), but anything can be taken to an absurd extremism. I don't mean something like that, but something that reflects the fact that Mages don't really train their bodies to the degrees that Warriors or Rogues do, and that the required skills and trainings of Warriors and Rogues affect different body types.

[happy_daiz]

^ Not to mention that in DD, you can select/change all of that stuff yourself.

You can even change your posture, stance, etc. And height affects how much you can carry, so it's nice to hire Hodor once in a while. (Someone really needs to make a Hodor, hehe).

Egads, speaking of Fable 2, my character ended up with both a massive sinewy body, and tons of those blue magick streaks. She was a hideous freak of nature by the end.

Aww poor little (or hulk-size) Sparrow. LOL!

As for DD, I can't keep my mitts off the CC. Hoping for more choices in the CC for DA:I. I have no problem modding, but I play DA on both PC and Xbox, so it would be nice just to have more/better options.

@happy - agreed. We need a Hodor. LOL. Maybe Mungo will be our new Hodor. Of course, getting BBI gear that adds "Carrying Capacity" works too.

I learn that the hard way when I created a big bulky rouge guy. He could carry a lot of **** but man did he move slow. You guys make me want to play the game again lol!

Comeback to the fold, that is DD....Many fun pawns to do an asskicking with, and you can see my pathetic attempt at recreating Fenris.  Actually, my pawn doesn't look much like him anymore. I decided he need to become his own man (myrmidon), not a failed copy. LOL!

This thread has become...interesting.  So everyone loves the CC aspect of Dragon's Dogma (me included), but the consensus seems to be that the story/plot ranged from less than satisfactory to actually pretty bad (I haven't completed the game yet so I can't say one way or the other).  Given a world of limited resources and a zero-sum game here, I think it's interesting that people want Bioware to put more resources into CC, when the example being held up (DD) suggests that Capcom should have put fewer resources into CC and more resources into writing/designing. 

So for those die-hard CC folks here, would you really sacrifice story/plot/design elements for better CC?  Really?  And if your answer is "just add more resources", that's not a viable answer; companies have finite money/people/time and decisions must be made to allocate resources throughout the program's development.

Skyrim has an amazing CC (If you know how to use it).

I think the focus of Dragon's Dogma was the gameplay, anyway, rather than the story.  And on that front, I gather they did a pretty good job.  People seem generally happy with Dragon's Dogma's combat systems.

[TexasToast712]

 Yes please. Im so glad I can make a fat dragon slaying character in dragons dogma that looks just like me. Fat Inquisitor for DAI!!!.

So you are saying you prefer games with decent gameplay and CC and mediocre storytelling/plot?  And more specifically, you would rather DA:I trade those design elements for a better CC element?

That is not a trade I would make.

I don't think anyone here is remarking on "either/or", regarding wanting a beefier CC. And BW will certainly end up doing as they wish. Personally, I don't even compare the two games to each other, because both are satisfying to me for completely different reasons. Is the story/characters lacking in DD? I would say yes, but I still have a ton of fun with the game. Wanting a more expansive CC doesn't mean we wish for something else in the DA games to be lacking. Resources as they are, this is just fans throwing out suggestions, and possibly adding to a wish list. I think some have even stated pretty clearly that they wish for the best of both worlds. More CC options, great story and characters. Will it happen?
*shrug* .........dunno.

[Bionuts]

I doubt DD's CC takes as many resources to make as an entire story..
