Not only can you focus on specific parts of the face by clicking the area in question, this begins up sliders within sections and all the changes occur in real-time, meaning that you can choose the exact point on a slider while creating both the mother and the father. There are 7 to choose from- 3 male (American, African-American and British), 3 female (American, French and Southern) and then Nolan North because why not! All of this combined allows you to create dashing Kennedy-esque Commander in Chiefs or just that abomination that everyone was too scared NOT to vote for.ĭuring the tour of your lovely 1950s home at the start of Fallout 4, you stop by the bathroom and this is where the game allows you to create the proud parents of little baby MacGuffin…I mean Shaun. The next big highlight is at the choices for voices. But why stop there? There are 55 skin colours to choose from, ranging from your standard set to gold and vivid purple. This is how you go from being the simple leader of a gang in Saints Row the Third to the goddamn President of the United States in Saints Row IV and the leader of the free world needs an executive character creator, right? Much like the rest of the game, Saints Row‘s are all about the extremes, allowing you to create towering monstrosities like big Bill Taft or jowly goblins like Tricky Dick.

Through DA:I’s character creation as well as save integration for the previous games, players are able to create a personal saviour for Thedas. On top of the staple sliders for cheek gauntness, eye width, jowliness etc., Inquisition provides players with options for broken noses, scars and two eye colour sliders, allowing you to blend two colours to get that perfect eye colour, whether that be a fierce amber, a mysterious murky green or that weird shade of blue that anyone who has ever drawn Jesus will give the Son of God. As well as four playable races and a non-permanent class system, the character creation allowed players to edit most of the features of their Inquisitor. And what better way to do this than by an immersive character creator in a video game? Well, today I’m looking at those notable character creators in video games, whether they are notable for better or worse…īioware’s latest foray into the universe they created for Dragon Age included their most in-depth character creator for the franchise. Let’s all admit it we sometimes like to play God.
