Character Creator & Character Customization (Official Thread)

The streamer probably encountered some type of rendering glitch that's hard to reproduce.

I don't suppose it could be a graphics quality issue?
Notice the difference in the depth of field effect between the two images. Maybe she just looks different due to the discrepancies in graphics/lighting/texture & mesh quality?
Only thing I can really think of.

lol that wouldn't surprise me though. #BioWareMontreal. 

If this was on pc then i'd chalk it up to there being hidden graphics files like with Watchdogs but this stream is supposed to be from an XBone copy.

Based of the EA access CC, its disappointing in my opinion, especially for the female characters, It was impossible to get the character I wanted, i restarted at least 4x to no avail.

Going off of one I just said and previous comments about the face(preset 1) in the french video, there is no way in H*ll to get a female player character to look like that. Sorry.

They have hand waved umm'd and aww'd and gave vague assurances that something "MAY" be done without giving anything concrete like a date in return.

so, I've now seen vids where they show the male model who default Scott Ryder is supposed to be based on. and default Scott does look like said model.

but then that just begs the question, what the heck did Bioware do to default Sara? She looks nothing like the extremely attractive and beautiful model she's supposed to be based on.

I mean......seriously........wth??!!

yeah, I'm reading up about those theories now.  not sure what to think.......lol.

and the current default Sara isn't bad bad.  She does have that adorable look to her.

but why then did you even hire that super hot model in the 1st place to base Sara off of, but then not really use the likeness.   but you kept Scott's real life model's likeness.

that does make you go.......hmmmm............

I think he created a custom Sara, canceled, and then selected the default Sara setting off a glitch that merged the textures along with the custom Sara's mesh overriding the default's (pay attention to the cheeks, and jaw). 

Hmm Scott's were originally brown but changed to blue at some point in development; so I guess this is more evidence towards this mystery Sara potentially being an earlier rendition...

I've also noticed in the French vid, the dialogue wheel when you first meet Sam is slightly different ( Sam itself looks slightly different, too ). There are only 2 choices. In the English vid, there are 3 choices.

also, after Lexi stands Ryder up and the camera shifts to where Scott's cryo chamber is supposed to be, in the French vid, it's completely gone! You see the 2 scientists standing there, but where the cryo chamber is supposed to be in the English vid is completely not there in the French vid.

when Cora first enters and floats in, in the French vid, there are 3 people standing around in the background in the room behind her.  but in the English vid, those 3 are not there - the room behind Cora is empty.

so, I'm really starting to think this French vid is either bugged or it is somehow an older/different build.

but that begs the question, how did that earlier incomplete build make its way to the guys Xbox 1 via early access??

Honestly I was just wondering this. I dont think it had anything to do with feminism or a sjw agenda like many people think. I have a couple theories for why she looks different from her face model. I was looking at the face model and a recent pic of fem ryder expecting to see major differences in the facial features but they actually look very similar. So i dont think its one thing in particular I think it's a combination of things that went wrong that explains the difference.

If you look closely at female ryder's facial features they look spot on with the model but something is still off. (Pics under spoiler) 





The model Jayde Rossi, in alot of the pictures that people are seeing of her online, she's wearing makeup and on photoshoots (which means there's some photo editing involved) and female ryder as you notice doesn't wear much makeup (which make sense because she's suppose to be a solider so that's pretty rational) however the face model was most likey told not to wear any makeup and pull her hair back when the face scan was taking place so they could get the most accurate view of her facial features and as a girl that wears makeup, it can make the face look a bit different.

Male ryder's model obviously doesn't wear makeup so that could somewhat explain some of the difference. Another thing is the art style, as everyone knows by now the eyes look really dead and overall the artstyle is cartoony which adds to the uncanny valley look and lastly compared to the face model fem ryders face is a tad bit puffy for some reason maybe it was to make her look younger? Im not sure why but I do notice it. Alone these things probably wouldn't change her face to much but all those together is probably why femryder looks so different to many people from her face model. The terrible facial animations also don't help.

Overall, I think femryder is very attractive but also in a average way. She isn't supermodel gorgeous but im sure with better hair and some makeup she would be. I get how some people dont think she's attractive but you would think she's the ugliest video game character ever the way people make it seem which makes it worse is her facial features are almost exactly like her model so it's twice as insulting. I think if you gave femryder the same hair and makeup as her model she'd probably look just like her. Anyways that's my theory of why she looks so different.
