Character creater - Cant make my toon

Archived PostArchived Post Posts: 1,156,071 Arc User
edited September 2009 in Controls and Interface
Hello everyone.

Got my copy today and yet to really get into the action as yet. Im still stuck at the character creator. I am unable to build my tubby dwarf of elite destruction (RAWR!).

There seems to be a huge lack in face\head controls or scaling. If I wanted to have a large head or wide face, I am unable to do so. The same go's for the body. I am unable to make a large, overweight or stumpy looking character.

Is there a way to turn off restrictions or is there going to be additions to the editor at a later stage?

Even games like AION have more scaling\body editing options then this which is a pity. Dont get me wrong, I like the editor, its just a pity that some of us cant create what we where hoping too on day 1.

Any help would be most appreciated. :)

    I'm not the best person to answer you maybe, but I don't see why you can't make what you want. I see ways to be short and very heavy or whatever you want. There are sliders.

    I'd guess you'd probably want a lot of body mass and a very short height.

    Thanks all. I have clicked on custom and played with the sliders. You can make a character small which is a simple form of scale.

    However, when you scale the body really wide, the head looks really small. Cant scale the head. 8(

    When you scale the hips or chest, the bit between (sides of stomach) stay fairly thin. You cant actually make a girl character with a straight build from shoulder to hips. They always keep there "curves".

    edit - If I could enlarge the head and tweak parts of the skull, I could make close to what Im after. Unfortunately I seem limited by the sliders. :(

    Currently creating a hot, gothy, evil chick. Will have to do. 8(

    There's a "Head" slider on the face custom screen. It can grow and shrink the head, but unfortunately "normal" is pretty high on the scale -- it's easier to make a pinhead than someone with a bulbous head. There's also sliders for width and height, but I haven't played with them enough to get a good feel for their utility. You should be able to make someone with a disproportionately large head, but it would take some tweaks on the face and body sliders.

    There's no way to give anyone a beer-belly; the general assumption, I guess, is that all heroes are physically fit.

    well sliders can only to so much, they need to add more face skins of a sort, all the men look like muscular studs. Its the reason i always use a mask of some sorts :P
