There is a huge potential for character customization yet they prefer to keep it random. So I'm stuck with a scrawny short haired Asian woman.
I've seen what can be done... IF THEY MADE IT POSSIBLE!!
This is what we could do.
Hair color (including pubes)
hip thickness (wider build)
races
and more more more
There are tons of things that it can do but maybe they aren't finished with it and that's to be released later like a life line in case the game starts to become less popular.
The lack of customization choice is an expressly deliberate design decision by the developers and they have shown no signs of looking to change it.
The reason it's not possible is because the devs don't want it in their game, not because they're too lazy or too busy to add a "proper" character customization/creation screen. They could've added character customization anytime in the last two years and they've specifically chosen not to.
If there was a standard character creation menu at least half of all servers in the world would be filled with white guys with maximum-size dicks.
Wow thanks for linking that article. I have surprisingly never seen that before
I personally like not being able to customize my character, I feel it adds more of an real life kind of style to the game.
Yep same here. I do not want customization. I love how you have everything generated via steam64 id and would like devks to keep this forever.
Some people like what they get but most would prefer something else... At the bare minimum they should add a way to "reroll" your character to get another random generation... Just do it until you get something you want.
I think we should get hair customisation at the most. Just like the article that was previously linked says, we cant choose how we are irl so its the same in Rust.
Except that the way your character is generated is by using your Steam ID as a seed. Your Steam ID is unchangeable and that's the entire point, for a given version of the game you will always generate the same character no matter what server you play on. It's not purely random, because otherwise you'd have a different character on every server and you'd be able to press the reroll button whenever you wanted. You could also reroll your character to deceive players by changing your appearance, another unwanted side effect.
And some people might like it but this is an all-or-nothing feature and the devs have chose "nothing" so not everyone can have what they want.
You didn't get to choose what your real body looks like, either.
I like my character, grown fond of him, if anything hair customization in-game, like trimming and whatnot, they added that in the roadmap, so hopefully. And why not a muscle layer? As in you start really thin and weak, throughout the wipe if you're in game "burning" calories you get muscles. Wipe ends or server change and you're skinny again. Dunno, it's almost useless but it feels like a cool little feature regarding character customization, or progress really.
I guarantee if you asked all the players that don't come on this forum you would get an overwhelming support for character customization. You guys are not the voice of every rust player.
Point is, the devs don't care what you think. You should've actually read what I posted and linked.
Maybe they'll add character cutomization in 2019? who knows and they're keeping it a secret hehe
It matters not one jot, the characters are the same apart from the skins, it's not like they gave them different abilities or accents .
Take a look around folks... at the Shit feast that some of the game shows have become.. not to mention formula 1
The issue they would have is if they allowed choosing "male" / "female" then there would be a massive left wing rally about the other .. i think 32 or is it now 54 sexes?
Then there would be issues with the... "well all the characters are thin... that's not fair" or hay.... what about penis & breasts to more fully represent transgenders before surgery reassignment.
THEN you get issues with people claiming that clans are targeting them because of their characters assignment...at which point it gets very very ugly.
That's what happened in LINUX... suddenly everything is turning into a left wing battle ground, which then results is massive amounts of time being wasted on non productive issues.
Just leave it alone... keep that aspect as it is.
A ridiculous argument that cannot be proven or disproved, And while the guys who disagree with you are not the "voice of the people" nor are you, You cannot guarantee anything,
I'm a white male trapped inside a black woman's body. I've never been on the receiving end of so many racial slurs, it's hurtful.
This is Rust, go smash the racists' heads in with a rock.
I still hope that Facepunch will add a mini-customization, to choose your character at least gender, race and hair with color...
I had a normal looking character with normal hair and etc. But on day it changed to a bald asian girl... Everything against you... ;c
They won't. Only thing possible is that they gonna impelement something big and new into character apperance, that they will have to roll the dice for everyone again
Why my videogame chooses your character’s race and gender for yo..
