Customizable character? And if so, to what extent?

grats for beraking 50 peoples brains!

 

Some kind of weird future elf, flying in a ship that looks like Nyan Cat.

 

DOES NOT COMPUTE!!!!

 

Maybe we could change some base stats. We would be given a pool of stat points and a set of stats like jump, or attack speed, or run speed, etc. Then we can make a ninja, or a fighter, or a tank or something to that extent.

 

but but , kefka is way OP

 

i want to be a SpaceBounder =p

 

I do recall seeing somewhere that we'll have vanity slots* so we'll be able to wear whatever we want above our functional attire.
*(like in Terraria)
But as said above, we're hoping the procedural generation will provide thousands of customization options.

There, it's a worm. IT'S AWESOME. AND IT'S DANCING. Oh no it's dead. I think. Dammit i'm a unfunny comedian (Completely horrid, i mean as in i've heard people SCREAM all the way from Watta jick tota waswup aboat how bad it is.

) /roleplayer thing not a doctor!
And yes i just did.

 

i still wanna be a SpaceBounder
>.>
<.<

 

A Shadow! Then I won't really have worry about looking strange. Stealthy!
Buuuut.... Then I'd probably stick out in broad daylight, eh? Hrrmmmm...

 

It would be nice if the added hats to the game. Some with abilities like say an eyepiece that lets you aim better or telescopic headgear that extends your field of view. This isn't really a character change but it would be a nice customizable aspect.

 

It's all about the facial hair.

 

I want to be a Shadow too, but only because that is my clan.

Our silence shall be heard!​

I would be a purple wolf. To me it sounds awesome.

 

Tons of cool options hopefully.

 

They have announced apes! Hopefully there is still more to come.

 

So long as i'm green and have a mohawk, i'll be happy!

 

races like skin color? LOL

 

I would suspect a humanoid baseline for the sake of limiting art department work on armors and the like.

Past that I think they might be best off leaving a more open ended system.
Imagine being able to craft a character, select skin color, body type, head type. Hair/horns/other funny things on the head.

Either way, it might be possible to add 'genetic alteration' in the later game to change race. If not that, at least a method to change hairstyles and the like could be fun.

 

I better be able to be greeen, have a tail, wings, a cowboy hat, a pistol and a frekin tux or im gonna be pissed!
