i would want to see Black Desert Online level of detailing for the face/hair, but for the body I would want it to be very generic, height scale sliders and muscle tone sliders
 
I don't mind buying clothes and accessories myself but they should give us a range of basic options as well for free. Otherwise we're gonna have a lot of CMDRs in the same flight suits as now which kinda defeats the purpose imo


Whether available through in-game credits, or microtransactions of real currency, I could see the coat with the large lapels, worn by the young lady commander on the piece of concept art that made the rounds the other day, becoming rather popular... :7
 
At this stage, I am not fussed.

Since we wont be outside the cockpit, them makes sense we will just be in the flight suits to begin with.

Head shape, features/scars/tatoos, skin colour and hair style, and flightsuit colour should be enough for Multi crew.

Iteration and advancement by stages as required.

Save Non-flight suit Clothing, apparel, headdress and other accessories as well as body customisation for later, when they will be needed.

That said you can see the different fashions differentiated by Faction type and allegiances already in the NPCs which is cool

I was really hoping for facial hair...Cmdr Frawd Digger is a heavily bearded fellow...he won't be Frawd without his beard.

Frawd

Pretty sure that MrBrooks will ensure that facial hair will be in, although limited in magnificence due to remloc.

Think he also said that CMDRs are supposed to be fit, so guess that limits or removes body variation.
 
There should be body variation. I'd hate to see avatars being nothing more than clones of one another running around with different coloured hair, we had that kind of thing 20 years ago!
 
I'm hoping for something like the EVE character creator. What we'll probably get is a fugly stock face like the Agents and Engineers (some of whom fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down).
 
there was a game on the xbox 360 (rainbow 6 vegas 2) which took a number of images of your noggin and then rendered a 3D version of it. this was probably 7-8 years ago now and the results were striking.

i reckon if an xbox 360 can do it with all the power of a potato then a modern PC could do it in the blink of an eye......... how much coding time to implement on the FD sides of things however.......

I voted yes BUT with the small print of, with so much real game "stuff" which needs desperately to go into the game, I do actually think it is lower priority than a lot of other stuff.
 
Personally I'd like this to be quite advanced, lots of sliders for facial features, skin tone, complexion, hair styles, hair colour, bionic parts, jewelry/makeup for the girls, scars and body type. The body type one is often ignored yet I tend to think it's one of the most important (to prevent everyone looking essentially the same) and should include a good range from thin to fat, muscular, athletic, beefy, curvacious/voluptuous for women (don't overdo it on the boobsize though, be tasteful).
 
I think we'll get a few set bodystyle with a lot more flexibility in facial customisation. Remember they'll want to make it useful in VR

Sure, but we don't need to look like photo models, its not very realistic :D
 
I think the Commander creator is very well polished for now, judging by the quality of the NPC's avatars in 2.2. Season 3 should come more quicker then we think with walking around as 2.3 is the next step ;) at this time the commander creator will deliver it's full potential.
 
Speak for yourself :)

Get off my lawn punk... :p
