Beard. あごひげ.

Face paint has the same selection method as hairstyles - it's a list of options and you can only pick one. (They evidently can and ideally should add more face paints - the current variety is mostly uninteresting and I don't see many people use the options that are currently there.)

Extra features are separate toggles that all turn on and off independently, and they also seem to be designed to either not get in the way of each other.

I don't think they can add more features to the list within the current character template. Every character has five options, even if the actual choices vary. That amount has never changed, and increasing it would probably require altering the amount of data that is stored about each character - and probably every system that has to read or transmit that data.

Sounds like it's time for them to upgrade/re-design, then.

They'll find gamers care little for excuses and more for actual performance.

How they manage it is up to them. Don't, and eventually you may see the game feeling too limited for some to be attracted by it.

Btw, anyone heard anything about Hrothgars finally able to change hairstyles without the need to use fantasia?

I already said this to you before but they can probably add beards since ideally it's something that *can't* be toggled/combined with other beards. That way, it can keep the extra features amount about 4/5 turned on maximum.

If they really can't add more than 5 because of how the game works, then a redesign would be great. It's been long overdue for the devs to add more character creation options that aren't hairstyles.

I am one of not many who used face paint on my character and I am absolutely in love with it. That mask is kind of my 'trademark' now and make my character look unique. I've seen couple of people here and there with some face paint, but no one used the whole thing or the style I went for. My previous char had the same one and I am sticking to it until the end!

It's great to find a unique character design that works for you!

I think I phrased that bit badly last night though, or didn't think it over enough. There's nothing wrong with the existing ones (and I've used them for several of my characters, although mostly not-actually-paint things like freckles), but the selection is patchy with only a few choices for elaborate designs. It just seems odd that they've shown they can add new ones but haven't continued to do so.

My point is don't try to lecture or "advise" people on minor things such as this when you're not 100% sure of it yourself, it's unnecessary, and slightly comes across as egocentric. Especially when the guy/gal just proved their knowledge by constructing a whole message in Japanese.

I'd like to see more men with beards around.

While I wouldn't have tried to claim it's equal to being fluent, I would also say that being a long-term fan of Japanese media (particularly if you're watching undubbed anime) would give you enough familiarity to reasonably query someone's use of a honorific that's you've never seen used before. I also thought it sounded strange - and would appreciate an explanation if it is correct usage.

Also, if you have that degree of understanding but can't actually speak/read the language, then you can't know whether the OP really did just "prove their knowledge by constructing a whole message in Japanese" or whether they just pasted their English message into Google Translate and took what came out the other end.

To be clear, I'm not saying the OP did that. Just that I would have no ability to recognise it if they did.
