One of these days, I'd love to see a game go above and beyond for customization.
Facial tattoos are nice and all, but sometimes I want more.
In Neverwinter Nights, we had body tattoos (at least on the arms, it's been so long I don't remember if it also applied to legs and/or torso), and they even had two color options if I recall rightly. They weren't hi def by any means, but the option was there.
I'd like to see other options become available, too.
I have stretched ears, at 9/16 inches. Do you have any idea how much I long to have a character with stretched ears? I know a lot of people find it icky (and ask me rude questions about it!) but these days it is a very common body mod. Or I suppose, earrings in general, even if I wouldn't personally use dangly things (which scare me as much as my stretched ears apparently scare other people). Varric gets ear piercings, why can't the PC have some?
Or nose piercings. Nostril, septum, whatever. Yeah, it'd hurt like hell if you got hit in the face (and it's why I wear silicone in my septum, not glass), but it'd still be fun, and a little bit of liability never stopped people from doing silly things to themselves.
Necklaces? Visible rings? Hair dyed funny colors? There's got to be someone in Thedas that thinks blue hair is awesome.
I am also a huge fan of balanced asymmetry. My DAO dalish rogue had an asymmetrical facial tattoo. I like armors with a larger pauldron on one side (some armor upgrades do this, but I'd like more of them). I like one-sided gauntlets, too. I LOVE that dragon shield that has the spiky bits on one side.
I'm sure there's more, but this is what pops into my head first. Mainly, I want jewelry, particularly larger jewelry. A slider for earlobe size that effects plug size, or a different slider that adds jewelry would be fun. I know it's one of those frivolous things, but a lot of customization is frivolous (hello inner and outer iris color), and I wouldn't think it would be that hard to model something like that. I've done a lot of meshing in the past, so I have a good idea of what kind of resources something like that would take, but I do feel it'd enhance the game for some people. Jewelry choice can be extremely personal, just the way the tattoo options can be.
What else could be added to give the player more control over their character's appearance?
