Character Creator & Character Customization (Official Thread)

Yeah I learned that the bad way when he had purple eyes. I had headcanoned femryder wearing eye contacts but apparently she naturally has violet eyes

Not here specifically, no... but in general. I think it was just a tongue in cheek little joke, nothing personal against anything that's been said in this thread. 

Anyways. I'm not at home, can someone tell me if the twin customization is kind of the same deal as your Ryder's? Like... If I want to go in and tweak a Scott preset for my Sara Ryder, can you still adjust cheek/chin shapes, hair, etc? I'm going to be restarting when I get home later. 

Yeah I'm not sure why he couldn't just have perma hazel eyes. It's so dumb. I am not remaking her tho. I hate being in that CC because it's so shitty.

Asians can really look generic and average especially with these "all Asians are just Chinese/Korean/Japanese" stereotype presets.... there's 48 Asian countries and we are all very diverse with various ethnicity, cultures and their subethnics. If you go over earlier posts, I do mention a post with a Ryder who kinda looks like me which isn't the designated Asian preset. And lol, I am currently discussing the game with several (asian) ME fans and even they agreed that the Asian presets looks horrible especially the male Ryders.

Yes, its harder to make a proper Asian-looking Shepard before but we still have the freedom to choose whichever features that we want and I still call that Shepard as authentic Asian - even if you personally think they don't. Point is, we don't need presets to judge that for us. If I want to make Gackt or Aaron Kwok or Iko Uwais as my twin brother, let me do that instead of settling down with some lan jiao-looking guy.

I use a default brother but Alec doesn't look like the original.
So no, changing your brother or not doesn't matter.

since they used real face scans, you'd think they might want to scan some "model-pretty" male and female faces in addition to more "normal" looking faces.  that way, there'd be a good mixture to choose from.

from what I've heard they did... this is what we got. I'm starting think someone decided to "improve" them and make them "more realistic" that the only way that this makes sense.  

AND ANOTHER THING!!!!

Why do all of the presets look so old? The Ryders are supposed to be in their early 20s -- take a look around any college graduating senior class and you'll see what age Bioware was going for. But all of the presets (and even the defaults tbh) look to be in their mid-30s! They don't exactly scream 'youth' to me.

And if we do the math our Dad should be around 40 years old-- why's he so damn grey and wrinkled at 40?

Ignoring the guy's obnoxious, comical ranting, this video is actually pretty useful. I'm relieved to see some features in this video that I had been led to believe were not present, based upon many posts and articles of the past two days. The CC is still ass, but at least it won't be completely unbearable, irretrievably bad. They can hopefully patch it into something worthwhile. There clearly are features of DAI's CC present within it.
