Dev Request: Allow Us To Preview Our Character

[Cherie]

Yeah sadly some of us don't have a home to call our own...just yet at least lol, but it is another viable option for those that do, thanks for sharing!.

End of the month patch? Err 3.3 was it? New housing wards finally... I know a number of people that really want a house. Hopefully there are enough new houses for everyone to get a shot.

I'm totally for this, I run into the same issues in character creation. "OMG this character is so awesome!" get's in game "WTF, is wrong with the color?"

Making a new character and starting a new game works but is also very time consuming due to the non-skippable cutscenes, and the fact you can't compare minor details unless you do the same thing.

You can skip the opening cutscene and go straight to your newbie area. They implemented it a few patches ago.

I like the idea! Just FYI, in one of the more recent patch updates, they did make it possible to skip the intro cut scenes. I make characters all the time on open servers before I go to use a Fantasia, and that super-long cut scene is now definitely skippable.

Sorry for only editing my post and not responding, I hit my daily limit!


Thank you for the information regarding skipping the newbie cutscenes and the ideas to help with this! I would still like this implemented though, as it still saves time and allows us to compare minor details without having to create multiple characters or compare retainers.

It sounds like a good idea and I hope they implement it in the future but more than that I would also want SE to give us more control when making our characters, more sliders and better character models from 1.0 would do!...

I want to be taller in-game!...

Oh definitely, I have a different thread up requesting more customisation too

At the very least, they should add the combat "grunts" in the CC even if it means they'll have to remove one of the pre-existing emotes like cheer, angry, etc since I really don't use those emotes (or many emotes) anyway. But I do hear the grunts all the time.

Sure, I can always make a character, skip opening CS and go immediately to the open world to kill mobs, but that's quite time consuming, especially if with so many voice (15?) options

In the Heavensward Benchmark, the character you created was inserted into some of the cutscenes, and it showed you how they looked in a few different light settings. Still, some sort of combat preview would be even better, because yeah, the voice selection often isn't quite what I signed up for.
