Character Creator & Character Customization (Official Thread)

it makes me madder that they took a step back from their prior game, DAI.

you expect progress as the games ( and years ) go by.  not regression.

I guess I won't hold my breath for patch. We don't know what it will fix. Probably nothing major.
I think I'll wait for some mods. It's my only hope.

My three wishes for improvements to the CC:

1) Allow us to fully customise all presets - skin tone, eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth shapes, forehead, cheeks & jaws, etc...
2) Allow us to fully customise the default Ryder twins.
3) Allow us to choose Alec's preset the same way we choose the sibling's appearance.

More than a little optimistic, I know...
Still, I'm genuinely excited for the game so I'll just have to do the best with what we have for now.

This just gets more and more frustrating. I've been tweeting @tibermoon and @gamblemike about adding the MP face to the SP game, but haven't had a response from either. I strongly encourage anyone else who wants to see this face as a SP preset to please do the same.

Seriously, send them tweets about it! I signed up for Twitter for that precise purpose. If enough people complain I bet they'll add it back into the game.

I personally use the program Fraps. I've had issues with origin, but if I run Fraps in the background I assign a key and can take screenshots at any time in any game.

From the way I understand that video, she was not a preset that could be modified (watch from timestamp 15:09)...it is just that the default Sara in that version was actually attractive!  May have been an older build? It looks like the default Scott in that video has brown eyes in that as well (but I can't see clearly). Like the old trailers (when he looked smoldering instead of "derp").

In an case, I agree 100% that it would have been nice to have the Sara model as a default Caucasian to play adjust a bit. Or...any fair-skinned Caucasian, for that matter!!

EDITED - It just hit me.  That Sara actually looks like the damned face model.  The one they show on the internet as "proof" that the female Ryder was purposefully altered to be less attractive.  Seriously, google that pic of that model, and look at the default in this video.  If this truly is an older build or something...then...well...shit.  Maybe the wacko conspiracy folks have a point. I am partly joking...but...just look at her!

I would post them side by side, but it would take me forever on my computer.  Can someone grab a screen cap from this video, and post with both the model and the current default Sara?  I would love to see a comparison...

EDIT 2 - I am looking at them side by side on my computer...seriously...I wish I could post this image (but I don't know how to do it on the boards!)  It is pretty astounding...

Honestly, I'm confused about the entire situation. She looks a lot like a character you can play as in Multiplayer in the current build of the game. This one, just with different hair:

But this Youtube video was uploaded only 2 days ago. And it contains footage from the intro of the game that was only very recently made available. So it can't be some super-old build. And the default Sarah face that we're all (unfortunately) familiar with has been around for ages, so I don't think it's some old version of her. Which all leads me to believe that this is a separate face preset which was removed from the single player game very recently, for some mysterious reason.

The whole thing is totally weird and confusing and I wish someone at BioWare would address it.

wait.  I'm confused.  this video is recent ( March 16 ).  if that MP face was removed, how is the guy playing it in the video??  am I missing something?

so, is that the model they based default Sara Ryder on??!!

she's stunning and gorgeous!!

the default Sara in the game doesn't really resemble her much.  if she did, I'd play default Sara in a heartbeat!!  lol

wow.  that sucks!!

hopefully that means it can easily be patched in.  cuz that preset alone is miles ahead of all the available ones in the current game.  

I imagine if that face is hidden in the game's files somewhere, PC players will find it once the game drops.

Assuming it's either been altered or replaced by the current default face, it seems like an odd choice to remove it (looks like its already mo-capped and animated) rather than pop it in as another preset.

Eh, maybe there's another reason for it?
