I'm just curious as to what everyone thinks about this particular character's appearance.
He's a noble, obviously, so I tried to reflect that in his stance, combined with the idea that I was shooting for more of the "stoic" or stereotypical good guy type character.
Does anyone have any suggestions, or thoughts they'd be willing to share?
I'm always looking to improve on my ideas and maybe someone else will see potential that I've missed, or see something that could use some work.

[Linarc]

I liked him, nothing to add, I think, it's a good character

[Servant of Nature]

The only thing I would say is perhaps widen the chin a bit? Everything else looks quite good.

[Linarc]

I think bearded guys can't change the chin. Would be a nice surprise if they could, there is a character I wanted to change.

[Prince Damien]

He looks really heroic. Looks like hes got alot of experience in battle, and know alot about diplomatics. Two things a hero should know. ^^

Ah, you're right.  Nevermind me.

[Fulgrim88]

He's not exactly the little brother type the origin wants you to be, but he surely looks perfectly noble.
I like the mix of tough and noble features - Fereldan nobility isn't all about dinner partys and elegance after all

He looks like he places himself above everyone else. Perfect for a noble, and nicely done.

[Baravor]

Thanks for all the responses and input folks, I really appreciate it.

And yeah, Fulgrim that was one of my biggest concerns, is that he doesn't really look like the little brother type. I tried to keep his appearance a bit more youthful to compensate for the beard, I'll have to see what else I can do, maybe if I work with the complexion a little bit more.

And does anyone know if you can change the chin before a beard is applied? Or would it revert back to what it was? Something worth exploring, perhaps.

[soteria]

It reverts back. The only thing you can do is use stubble.

You might try a different hair colour, although white looks great on him.

As for the chin, it's definetely set back to default once you put on the beard

[Baravor]

Hmmm.

Well, my basic idea and explanation for the white hair is that he was born with it.

No real portend, no ultimate fate type thing. He was just born with white hair, hence the name "Stark". That and it's a bit of a Martin reference.



And it does reset. Crud, thats no fun. Hrmm...alright. Well, I'll go mess with his complexion and stuff some more, see if I can't make him look a bit younger. Again, thanks for the help and input.

Martin rulez! Nicely done Baravor.

[Baravor]

Gah!

A Lannister! Who let him in here?!

[Fulgrim88]

Guess i'm just another Groupie then.
Love his books, best written fantasy currently out there if you ask me.
Anyway, as great as the books may be, they do take painfully long to be released..

[Master Tyrion_]

I admitt, i like Tyrion - although he's not a typical Lannister. My favourit characters are Davos "the onion knight" Seaworth and Sandor "the hound" Clegane.

The Starks are honourable but naive. Anyway - winter is coming...

A noble...noble Ha! Well you look the part I guess but damn man...Gotta live up to your station mate.Gota take advantage of the life!Where's your disdain for the peasant peons and demihuman underlings.They should smell the wealth and fall all over themselves trying to please and serve you while fearing the consequences of your anger.Thats the power of privelage!Sure,gota do your duty to the world but only a few get born to this station,why ****** it away restraining yourself and repressing desires?Take what you want,when you want,from whoever you want!

[Baravor]

I would have to disagree, Brekkage.

Without the common people, the position of nobility means nothing.

It would be the nobles duty to ensure the safety and well being of his people. The power of privilege as you put it is in the ability to move a man, and to inspire others to greatness while ruling with an even hand and a fair tongue.

[Brekkage]

Bah! Its soft thinking like that which inspires the weak to take advantage of their superiors.A "fair tounge" wags while the commoners lie at every oportunity to cheat you.While you wave your "even hand" there are those behind slitting your purses,hidding their taxes,and always pleading for help at every turn.Begging for their betters to do for them what they won't do for themselves unless made to by the strength of their rulers.Your station wasnt earned by lofty ideas or weak mindind drivel.It was earned by blood.The willingness to spill it,to take that which was needed to survive and prosper as a people,as well as to spill it in defense of that which was taken.It is that strength that earned the right to rule because they could not do what we alone could..Thats why they are common,Blood and strength determine the masters,blood passed on for generations.The weak follow and serve as is their place.You would do well to make sure they remember that place less they forget and begin to dream of stations far beyond them.

[Blessed Silence]

He does look a bit older .. not OLD oldbut I'd say in his 40s or 50s.  Maybe from complexion added with hair colour.

[Baravor]

Hmmm...that's a fairly good point, Blessed.

Perhaps if I darken his complexion a little bit....-makes a mental note to tinker-

[Quercus]

he looks like he hadnt had food for ages, and his beard is floating beside his cheeks because of that.

Yeah why does the game have to do tht? In most games I like using beards but I had to settle for stubbles on my lean mean fighting machine.
I tend to go with a rather shallow-cheeked veteran look. (doesn't eat much because he doesn't want to carry around the weight of fake gym-muscles )
I know he looks neither noble nor young but hey - if I can't choose another origin for a male human that's not my fault.
I really hated being called pup though.

Now if only I could get the eyes right. I'm terrible with character creators.
What really annoys me in this game though is that a short haircut and face stubbles (or head stubbles and face stubbles) don't touch. It's as if the char would shave just a tiny spot between his beard and his hair <_<

Also I went for the receding hairline which could really be a liiiiiitle closer to the forehead but oh well

I can't vouch for the accuracy of this intel, but i've heard of a beard trick some have managed, to alter the jaws & cheeks yet still have a beard. They say that to perform the trick, you memorize the precise slider position of the beard ya wanna use, then turn the beard off. Alter the jaws & cheeks to your liking, then go back to the beard slider & DO NOT SLIDE THE SLIDER, instead you are supposedly supposed to left-click the precise slider position to make the marker go onto the beard ya want without it resetting the jaws & cheeks. Somehow, this is supposed to put the beard on, yet prevent the jaw & cheek resetting that happens if the slider is slid.

I have yet to try it myself, but it is on my to-do list.

Hope I helped.

<--------- (Been considering trying it on this guy, my Avatar Representative. This is version 2.0 for him, yet he still seems too mediocre to other people, & i've been wondering if the 'beard jaw' that his beard uses is failing to mesh with the rest of the face. I'm considering attempting the beard trick to try to rework the jaw to make it look stronger & more macho, while still using the same beard to see if it makes him look more warriorish & finally get him some good reviews. He doesn't need or want to be a pretty boy but I want him to look good & respectable.)
