Character Creator & Character Customization (Official Thread)

Yes, I know. But I'm saying that Scott's hair is available in CC.

Interesting. Despite Aaryn's tweet I think this is actually the truth. From gameplay videos, especially the flirting one in the spoiler section, I get a very distinct DA2 feeling of facial animation. Just look at the muscle movement around the mouth corners. Almost exactly like Hawke's.

I definitely think technologically MEA's CC is a step back from Inquisition's. Maybe it's to accommodate the more detailed animation? Unfortunately it feels all the efforts actually pushed the characters deep into the uncanny valley this time.

How in any known universe is that not a lie?!

you do a lot of the same things in both CCs and DAIs consisted largely of picking a pre set and molding that pre set to your whim. Yes the one from DA I was more complicated but that dosent mean that they didn't take from it and learn from it. The right v lessons imo.

I think you have an insane definition of truth.

The fact that they're both character creator tools does not make them similar in the slightest.

And the only reason you're okay with this one is that it removes any need for actual skill in creating characters.

Hi everyone.

This is my 1st post on these boards.

I can't begin to express just how thoroughly disappointed I am with this Character Creator. It just feels so limited and it feels like I won't be able to create MY Ryder - to make the character look the way I want him/her to look.

The female presets all look relatively unappealing to me. Except for face #8. However, since skin tone is dictated by the preset, and there's no option to change the actual facial feature shapes, that means I wouldn't be able to take face #8 for it's overall look and then make the skin tone pale/light for a caucasian character or change the actual nose/mouth/eyes, etc. to how I want it.

And that just plain sucks!!

What good is a Character Creator if you can't create the character you want? And it's not like this is the early days of character creation. This is 2017!!

i won't dispute that. But I'm just uncomfortable calling a studio, that i trust, liars without proof. Not when I don't work for them nor am i in the industry. It may be insane to you but i call it common human decency. If you can provide proof they are lying I'll be willing to give it a fair hearing.

no.

Once again, you have an insane definitiok of truth.

Call it a fib or a white lie if you want, but the two CCs are as dissimilar as an appetizer and dessert. Sure they may both be food and eaten within a certain time frame, but one just makes you crave more food and the other is satisfying in and of itself.

where? Because just looked through my comments and nothing of the sort.

I find the design decisions involving the character creator just baffling. I was hoping for something similar to DA:I's CC, which in my opinion was excellent when it comes to customizing facial features. It just makes sense. Same studio, same engine, couldn't be that hard to bring at least the basic features over right?

Instead, they come up with something that's a step down from even what the original trilogy had. All that to accommodate presets based on facial scans for... what purpose exactly? They definitely haven't wowed me with an amazing leap in quality over the ones in previous titles. Certainly not enough to justify the significant lack of customization compared to previous Bioware titles.

I don't get it.
