We need a kajilion threads like this because ME's CCs have ranged from meh to atrocious. Especially the hair options. Seeing the PC sporting a fugly hairstyle that's actually the least hideous of the lot is not a good look.

[SporkFu]

When the game is released a year from now, who's gonna care how many character creation option threads there were a year ago? Jeez, it beats rehashing how much ME3's ending has ruined gaming forever

I figure, since Andromeda is also on the frostbite engine, they'll expand on DA:I's CC with some different options, like (hopefully) more hairstyles and better color options too. If they did that much I'll be happy.

Yeah I'd like those sorts of options too. It's kind of why I suggested us having more flexible backgrounds such as a scientist or something to explain why we might not neccessarily look like an average soldier play a scientist who works for the military or has a military background like Kahlee Sanders or Mordin Solus. That way it gives the story flexibility to bend the rules a bit. Like 23when I'm playing a mage or rogue in DA I kind of allow myself the freedom to have a longer hairstyle on my characters .Although I do have to admit I do tend to stick to the shorter styles when playing warrior as it seems more fitting in that area.

How about you ask nothing? You've been spamming threads left and right.

Is it affecting you negatively? Didn't think so. I'm on a quest for knowledge. I like to see other people's opinions. I have questions, I like to read.

The hair options in DA:I were truly horrible, I'm glad there are threads continually reminding Bioware of this. I'm still pissed that the only short hair(not a buzzcut) style was the hipster/hitler youth cut.

Being able to have cybernetics would be great as well.

 

Beauty marks xD

 

Edit: I quoted the wrong post lol.

I still remember that it was said that the lack of choices in DA:I was to avoid clipping issues with other styles. Then I noticed that there was clipping with them too. If the clipping problem can't be avoided, I'd rather have better hairstyles.

I think long hair tends to be left out as an option for players because of clipping issues and because it can wind up looking very stiff and awkward depending on the style. Modded hair tends to get away with it exactly because the modders are not developers and so they are held to a different quality standard. Modders are also allowed to set requirements that developers would likely be scorned for such as a graphical setting having to be at it's highest.

Bangs people. Those are still in style.

Problem is though they've still used them on npc characters  why not just share what the NPC's have with the player and let them decide if they want to use it?

I wouldn't mind making space Marilyn Monroe with a gun.

Well she just needs to be able to have a small beauty mark like women in real life to make it more relatable in my case, since I have a small beauty mark above my right lip xD

My uneducated guess? The player character has more options than the NPC characters do.

 

The NPC characters tend to one set of armor and casual clothing in the Mass Effect series and while they may have additional armor, these are almost always slight variations according to my memory. This likely limits the chances of clipping. Additionally, they have fewer variables in animation scenes of which there are also fewer of.

 

The player character, on the other hand, has more options in terms of armor, clothing and their character has to be accounted for in more animations meaning clipping and other issues might be more likely to occur.

Anything better than the creation of DAI is already good ...I hope it is with natural hair and not plastic ...

At least give us the illusion of longer hair, braids and buns, updos and etc.

I can understand clipping issues, but that doesn't mean every hairstyle has to be chinlength and regulation.

I love Bioware dearly, but I can tell you right now -- there will be lego hair and cheekbones of doom, plus your protag looking odd in certain lights.

BUT given the amount of variation, you'll probably animate pretty well, and it'll be easy to make a protagonist who looks like a human person who might exist. And a hideous troglodyte who hopefully does not.

I mean, they're obviously capable of doing gorgeous updos, ala Josephine. Why couldn't we have gotten a variation of that hairstyle instead of 12 buzzcuts?

All im saying is, the ONLY game Bioware have ever done with good CC was DAO

 

I just can't understand how the CC gets worse and worse in every game they make.

Seems to me the people who consist of "Bioware" change with every game they make.  Especially after EA.

You mean the character creator where it was known to be difficult to make a character with dark skin?

 

I still consider the Dragon Age: Inquisition's character creator to be the uncontested best out of all the character creators Bioware has made, hair notwithstanding.

What you talking about, it was easy af - how dark are we talking, Im a bearded brown guy, always managed to make a bearded brown guy in DAO within about 5 mins

pretty sure there were more options aswell in almost every category.

[Pavan]

Ill be honest tho I just want to be able to make this hairstyle and beard

 

 

Or someone like Kaal Drogo from GoT

 I'll have to disagree.

 

I'll see if I can find some screenshots to show what I mean but admittedly it may be more of how the skin translates and looks different in the game than it did in the character creator.

 

If I remember right, the character creator from Dragon Age: Origins did not have freckles amongst the complexions it offered nor did it have moveable scars or scars at all for that matter. It also did not have a color wheel, as far as I remember, which Dragon Age: Inquisition's character creator did have when it come to certain options.

 

It have a portrait and portrait-related options but I'm not sure whether to count that since Dragon Age: Inquisition did not offer a portrait at all similar to how Dragon Age: Origin did not offer a qunari race and so it would not be a part of the character creator.

 

I'll see if I can list more differences but I would need to find a video of the character creator from Dragon Age: Origin to do a comparison since mine is modded.

I would take no freckles over crappy hair and beards any day.

 

I mean in DAI

- most of the beards don't even fit right on the Inquisitors face unless he is a dwarf

- the choices of beards and hair were **** ----------- DAO had a lot more options ---------- Most of us place higher priority on Hair and beards than accessories like freckles and scars

 

 

Come to think of it, back when DAO was released, how many games even offered freckles etc in CC.

 

DAO didn't need a colour wheel, because the colours it had were already realistic looking DAI's colours looked wierd

 

The point is DAO is much older than DAI and yet has a much better CC in terms of covering the basics and essentials.
