I wonder how long this takes people. Couple of hours? All day? Customizing characters in game for me is a tedious task. I usually just pick a preset most of the time so I can start playing.

Most games you don’t even see the character model (Diablo 3)

I always end up with some kind of potato man that looks worse than the presets, then immediately put a helmet on that never comes off.

I always try to make myself. But i always pretty much look like the default character

My problem right now is I created my character and am very happy with them in character creator, but when I look at him in game I’m unhappy. I’ve even paid to tweak him a bit and it’s better but I’m still not happy.

My character looks like they have plastic skin in game. Thought it was fine in the creator.

ryven@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 04 Sep 2023 22:13 next collapse

I’m like 90% sure that the character creator has lighting features enabled that are normally disabled for performance reasons, which is why it’s much easier to look good in the character creator than it is in the game.

If I’m right, maybe modders can “fix” it (although it will probably tank performance).

Doesn’t need to tank performance. Instead of turning on the lighting elsewhere, they could turn it off in character creation so you can see what it’ll actually look like.

The extra shaders are also applied to NPCs when you talk to them. But there’s never really a way to see the player’s face with these features outside the character creator.

paid to tweak him? you… you don’t mean actual real money, right?

wccrawford@lemmy.world on 05 Sep 2023 10:27 collapse

There are “enhance” locations in the game that you can pay 500 credits to remake your character. No, not real money.

Spent about two hours making a good looking character face in Elden Ring just to wear a full helm 99% of the game. No regrets.

MrJukes@lemmy.one on 04 Sep 2023 20:54 next collapse

I tried to create Amos from The Expanse. It only took like 10 minutes though I will admit I did a poor job and nobody would guess by looking at him.

WarmSoda@lemm.ee on 04 Sep 2023 21:08 collapse

That’s a great character to pick

Piecemakers3Dprints@lemmy.world on 04 Sep 2023 23:16 collapse

He is that guy.

jplate8@lemmy.world on 04 Sep 2023 21:05 next collapse

Oh, flashlight

csolisr@communities.azkware.net on 04 Sep 2023 22:17 collapse

Not gonna lie, I misread it at first and thought to myself “yeah, Todd Howard fans are that maniacal, makes sense”

comedy@kbin.social on 04 Sep 2023 21:22 next collapse

Holy shit that person who did Todd Howard was spot on

Patariki@feddit.nl on 05 Sep 2023 04:14 next collapse

Yes that’s the only one that looked the part. The others are hardly recognisable.

wccrawford@lemmy.world on 05 Sep 2023 10:28 collapse

Yeah, most of them are “we have X at home” quality.

rDrDr@lemmy.world on 05 Sep 2023 14:51 collapse

Pretty sure it said that one was fake.

one fan took matters into their own hands to create a concept of what he may look like - outside of the game itself.

Can’t even reject all cookies. Like the personalized ads option only has an “accept” button. Isn’t that a GDRP violation?

sigmaklimgrindset@sopuli.xyz on 04 Sep 2023 21:51 next collapse

You have to go into “manage settings” and the second header to get a “reject all cookies” option. Fucking bullshit tbh, because it was lagging out on my phone while I was trying to navigate it

I don't know. I'm a dirty American with Consent-O-Matic.

Here's the github for anyone that wants.

Who the fuck does that? Add this website to the unwelcome list.

I love this fucking game.
