I only had about an hour and a half in beta, so didn't have opportunity to have it all worked out by launch.
And hey, that's why when I went to claim my pre-order rewards from store it was 5 items, instead of the 6 items I swear it was on the first character attempt?!
I had to do it a couple of times. I did not know how much you could customize the look of your character since they hide it at the top left...
I made four characters before I figured out that we could change the haircut, get facepaint etc. When I did, I made all four char's all over again. I then played with three of them until I beat the first "boss" (in the encampment on top of that hill) before I decided on which char should be my main.
As for the three dozen DC Universe Online chars, on the other hand... lol
Threads like this tell me that people are struggling to find a look they dislike the least, rather than one they like the most. And that's never a good thing with a character creator.
Still, this is all something they received plenty of feedback on during testing. They just chose not to make any improvements.
As much as I enjoy the game, this is unfortunetely true.
I didn`t count, but I probably made about 8 female characters, some I deleted right after the intro cutscene, some I played for a few hours before deciding I just can`t live with it.
My focus shifted from trying to go for a style I like to using settings that make my character look less like frankenstein`s daughter.
The fixed vertical camera angle in the editor doesn`t help either.
I am now more or less happy with the look, but it doesn`t feel like I even had a choice.
Again, I really love the game, but the character editor feels outdated by 10 years.
Hehe i also did this in beta but it's not ok that you create a char and then it doesn't even resemble to the one u created in character creation![]()
I didn't think a game could have a worse character creator than The Secret World, but here we are. Your choices are Very ugly to slightly less ugly. If it were a first person game I wouldn't mind but now I have to stare at my hideous creation. At least the game has war paint and masks. (Just poking fun)
Quick edit, the main problem for me is I don't get a look I want and it creates a disconnect.
i did the tutorial once and only once. For 1 simple reason. Who Cares? The customization is very bland and im wearing a mask anyways... Specifically the Crimelord helmet so not like you can see my unique face anyways lol
