Request for More Character Customization Options

[Daralii]

Yeah as someone who got into this game way later down the line, the forums do feel like a void for suggestions.

There was once a point where Yoshida and others would post here(both the JP section and the other languages through translators), but once they got successful they stopped caring.

Honesly, giving more body options for au ras would be so nice
Like c'mon
Why auri faces and horns locked together?
Why there's no scale color variety outside of dark blue and white?
No scale pattern variety either?

There's so much lost potential to add flavor to already existing races if devs just think a bit

I don’t really have high expectations from SE, but they could at least give us an option to pick a body type,
maybe a few preset choices, like default, slim, muscular, and androgynous.
Why can’t my Elezen be a bit more muscular, or some Roegadyn a bit less 'fat'?
This would also improve how male Hyurs’ body shapes look. I think that’s the bare minimum they could handle.

With mare down i would love to see them rectify their mistake of not giving viera tails. I almost never see fanart of viera wols where they clearly do not have a tail. Just make it an option for the people who dont want it.

Uncoupling au ra horns from faces would be a huge improvement and weve been asking for this for years.

Im expecting an expansion to hair color options bc of solution 9 hair colors. Could make a fun cutscene about giving the barber an expanded set of tools for more hair color and "face paint" options (in quotes because i really want scar options. No way our level 100 wols have no scars on their bodies after everything... But really i want body scars more then face scars)

Body type options would also be super nice. I cannot pretend i expect them to be capable of giving us sliders in the right places, but at least giving builds such as "sturdy" (heavy), "athletic" (somewhere in the middle), and "lean" (the skinny bitches). If theyre afraid of offending people with terminology they can say body types a b and c but it should not be hard to find words that work.

Gloves that are usable by all classes that make it so you can make long-sleeved robes, shirts, etc. into short sleeved ones. The Bozja scouting gloves are a good example of what I mean by this, although they're obviously locked to scouting classes.

I'd like to add that they also need to make the face options consistent.

For example. Miqo'te face 1, the one I use, the tattoos to the sides of the eyes are optional, however the same tattoos are permanent on face 4. Why is that?

Overall I have the feeling that the customization options may be hindered behind the "sphagetti" code (or w/e excuse there is), because it seems like they (except for hair styles and face paints) were built with limited 'slots' not thinking about new future additions.

How do I know this? I don't, but the fact that just to add the so-requested midlander stubble they had to literally copy paste one of the midlander faces, and add the stubble as a permanent texture for it, speaks a lot.

I'm most likely gonna be cooked for saying this, but I'm against the whole flat chest thing for females mostly due to a lot of bad actors using that to create "teen" WoLs.

While I am for the androgynous look, don't get me wrong, there's just too many players that infamous Google Doc list that mod their characters into "teens." At least then, I wouldn't know if there was one next to me so I wouldn't care, so long they don't get weird on me.

With the advent of what payment processors are doing, probably not a good idea to ask.

I'm confused by this, not trying to cook you just genuinely trying to understand. If you saw a flat chested fem character next to you, you would assume it's a "teen", rather than just an androgynous character? Because there wouldn't be any other way to know that sort of thing without interacting with the player, and by that point you can just block them if you find them to be a bad actor. Just seems like throwing the baby out with the bath water.

Package this with the height slider to minimum with a young face and et voilà, you got yourself a young looking WoL.

You can talk me to death about different body shapes, I get it and I'd happily agree with you, but like I said, I have seen too many bad actors in this game to want to try this. Hell, I'd want a flat chest for myself, but at the cost of seeing "teens" running around? Pass. There's just too many and not enough slots in my blacklist.

However you'd be right, I could always report the bad actor if they're found out and they'd be the GM's problem. But I'd rather not have this implemented as it's not a good time, as I mentioned before.

Ah, this sounds like a personal problem more than anything. Best of luck to you!
