Character Creator & Character Customization (Official Thread)

The scanning argument is likely utter horsecrap. Getting a 3d scanned human face into something that can be rendered and animated in a game requires so much manipulation in both polygons and pixels that getting rid of the scanned brows and replacing them with changeable overlays would be the least of your worries.

Guys, is there a video about the customization? I just got home from work and I'm scrolling through all my usual haunts... Can someone link me?

You can fade them/darken them, but otherwise, no. Also, they don't seem to have texture, so nothing raised and/or puckered. 

I thought people were exaggerating about the CC, that they were expecting something absurd, with like 20 different options for the cheeks alone. I figured, DAI's was good, so this will be too.

Nope. It's the trilogy's CC instead. The fuck. All they had to do was copy the human CC from DAI. It had plenty of options, the 2D plane for many of the features was nice. If anything, I expected this to make marginal improvements, since they had something from which to iterate. But instead it's 2012 again, in a game that's supposed to be all about choices and customizing your character. I suppose a better CC DLC is a pipe dream, isn't it?

And for anyone who might trot out the "You're overreacting" to people who are disappointed, is the status quo really such a huge expectation?

Just all of these little things dulling my interest in the game. Little things that say to me, "Maybe this team wasn't ready for a project this size." I don't even know what this world is when I'm actually considering buying a BioWare game for the MP instead of the SP.

Thanks, guess I will try it out. Otherwise Ryder will get the grand luck of not having his/her face scarred by the evil waffle iron.

There are some very...strange scar patterns available. 

damn I was thinking the same thing haha! Asians look good in this game, I was thinking moddeling after Kelly Hu

I've seen your album the first time. Since you'd like to showcase it again, well, you put a lot of love in your every character, they are pretty, but they all look similar. Light skin, oval faces, medium sized noses, eyes and lips, all in a limited color scheme and no application of facial texturing, all smooth. You will likely find faces just like that in ME:A presets, plus those of us who want something out of that range will be able to play it too, instead of pushing the sliders to get nothing in return (the best I have managed in all MET/DA games is vaguely maybe Asian look). There is no reason for you to be upset.

Look you keep saying this but none of your inquisitors look that different from each other. They have different colouring but there's only a few different tweaks on the facial structure. You couldn't really make alot of different  types of faces on the DAI cc. I'm really happy that's it's now possible to create characters that will actually look  asian, black etc 

That's not really an excuse because Fallout 4 managed to get your families face to change while having a far superior CC. BW is just awful.
