More customizable faces

[Lexi]

I'm sure if people could on this game they would as well after some of the glamour's I've seen in this game..

I almost screamed out loud..

Oh goodness. Those are hilarious and terrifying all at once.

I don't mind people making silly/horrifying characters, but I do prefer when character creators try to force you to at least remain within semi-realistic body proportions so you don't end up with inhuman-looking monstrosities.

PSO2 hit a good sweetspot, IMO (Though people complained about a lack of a butt slider there, too).

i mean just don't include sliders
just add more options

This.



In one interview so many months ago, they said they couldn't add more customization sliders and such because they were concerned people would... do exactly what people did in those images (RIP my sides) and "create their own races." I'm all for new faces, hairstyles, misc. accents, whatever is plausible. I think it's about time. That particular interview asked for more player feedback- so here it is for the umpteenth time!

I know right. I'm the one with the hair monstrosity. If that game has something going on, it's the customization.

I really wish they'd just unlock everything for each face. Imagine being able to use face 2's eyebrows on face 3 etc. It'd give a bit more variety without that much extra work.

It depends where the "extra work" is. The models are already there of course, but it might not be as simple as just letting them be applied to other faces.

- Face shapes are different. Can the eyebrows from one face simply be dropped onto another, or would there be gaps and seams where the shapes don't line up? Would it need to be remodelled to fit?

- Could the system actually handle it? How are the face elements stored, and could the UI actually access more options than what it is currently set up for? Would they have to reprogram how it works? It might require a complete rebuild for all we know.

in other words: we have to do the whole road map for something we don't have: nuanced technical knowledge, budget information and time available to invest, all while at the same time guess-timate for them to have a proper deployment?

I mean, really? Might as well ask them to open source this game's code, add mod support with repository access for console to use said mods and just have them focus on the "main stuff" since literally saying "we want more facial options" means "we want more facial options".

And I am aware we already asked for the latter (mods) and its still a #plzlookfwd2it/#insertlimitations.
