Thanks. Now, i hope you don't mind me putting on my old skeptics head, because looking at other images that i know are unedited and taken from the game, there seems to be a stark difference between those really nice ones.

I'm really wanting to shout "shopped" about this point.

Can you link a video on in-game footage showing such quality faces?

Probably just another bogus ant info.

I wouldn't be surprised if these are legit. My personal experience with deep character creators is that while I have a hard time getting anything else than a potato if I stray too far from the available preset faces, some people are deep into it and work absolute miracles. The ED holo-me is a case in point, I've seen good-looking alternative faces, but all my attempts look like the same potato with different hairstyles.

My big favourite is Dragon Dogma's creator. Again, I didn't stray too far from presets myself (but to amazing results as this is one of the best character creators around), but people into it have recreated an insane amount of characters from movies/series. Just google "dragon's dogma character cosplay" in google image and be amazed.

While I agree to some extent and had similar experiences with games like Skyrim, ED, and others, i'm still getting that "shopped" feeling on the nicer ones. So a video showing similar quality would allay that suspicion. And i mean an actual in-game video, not CIG's promo videos which have likely been through numerous rounds of post-processing and CR approval before release to the public.

CIG reduced the server limit to 40 for their version of Community Goals. There is no server meshing. There is only one incomplete solar system and it is January 2021. Who cares what the NPCs look like?

It does help to underline how dramatically BAD development really is going tho. I mean the thing people are excited about....that one thing....was it a pure accident right at the beginning of it all? Everything since 2012 has slowly gone downhill and while CIG managed after tens of MILLIONS of dollars and YEARS to introduce improvements take a step back and consider at what cost. Compared to the 2012 vision Star Citizen today might be "more" complex...and bigger in scope but at the same time its even more confusing, even more chaotic and riddled with so many hurdles that it seems impossible to achieve eeeeever.

I dont care how much "fun" people have with this tech demo or how they internally justify the extreme cost of this "fun" ("I m only in for the base package"). I dont find it in me to praise Star Citizen because I m able to look past the glamor and put the whole thing into context. I dont need to be able to code or understand whats happening from a development or egineering point of view in order to realize...:"this is really bad"..same as with a broken leg. Chris Roberts wronged his backers many many times over the course of this dumpster fire.

The general public universally hating on this game rather reminds me of most people having more common sense. Often enough a curious first glance into the project results in complete alienation by
its community...not always but depending on where and how people opt to voice their view the backlash can be rather fierce. Discuss the project...not the poster becomes hard to follow when many of the SC loyalists are the real stars of the show by now.

Hard to find high quality video ingame of character

Some a really close view of a male character

A video about the creation of a good female character

Some closeup p*rn found while searching :giggle: We can smell the leather at 0:50 ;)

Thanks.

Some parts of some vids are definitely using post-processing, but overall not bad. On a par with most current gen character generators.

If you want to see something a bit more next gen, check this out

I know that you can play with a camera director mode (Focal, DOF, etc). Never used it.
The character at 0:20 is a mission giver, her appearance is unique.

I wonder whether the Squadron 42 cutscenes will have a "skip" option. More likely an optional "cutscene enhancement" DLC that adds it, for a moderate fee.

Opinions tend to vary on that

I always like the fresh-faced trip reports from returning commandos:
