Defaults definitely look better than the other presets but the creator looks decent overall.

fastford58 · Mar 14, 2017

Hopefully Monster Factory worthy.

Crossing Eden · Mar 14, 2017

Hmmm, can definitely tell that the defaults were based off of actual people compared to the other presets. Huge difference. :|

mejin · Mar 14, 2017

I actually would like to see Shepard face in there.

For once I'm gonna roll woth default femryder from the start. I really like her looks.

the presets had models as well, just made in the CC

A-V-B · Mar 14, 2017

Kinda what I feared. There are only going to be about 8 or 9 Ryder faces per gender because they're locked into face scans. Even if you modify some sliders you know exactly where they're from. No mixing and matching going on.

All I can hope is that the "Custom" option offers more flexibility.

Kumquat · Mar 14, 2017

Man. All those faces are soooooooo bad.

Admiral Woofington · Mar 14, 2017

Is there white hair?

I can't call my guy Ghost Ryder without white hair

Rad- · Mar 14, 2017

Can't wait to see people's characters.

Holy shit those presets are horrendous.

Dictator93 · Mar 14, 2017

Yep.

Plumpbiscuit · Mar 14, 2017

Not very good character customisation for a AAA 2017 game. Absolutely no body adjustment, such as muscle, height or limb size? No voice pitch changing? Or am I missing something here?

Bisnic · Mar 14, 2017

That dude at the end of the video was kinda crazy lol.

What are those scaly textures on the cheeks if it's not tatoos? Glitch?

Teletraan1 · Mar 14, 2017

So the preset female faces are all terrible. FemRyder default was bad enough but some of those other ones look like prison mugshots.

Lime · Mar 14, 2017

Wanted to see more of the hair options, but it looks pretty decent so far. I'm sure the community and others will be able to make some great looking Ryders that are better than the presets.

No. You will be only large headed tween sized.

Dinda · Mar 14, 2017

Awful as expected. Seriously Bioware, just hire a few guys from some random MMO and let them make your character creator.

And the bodies look so weird in Andromeda, with their way to short legs.

edit.

Dictator93 said:

yeah, exactly that!

Forsythia · Mar 14, 2017

The presets look fucking awful. Jesus christ. Guess I'll go with default Sis/Bro Ryder.

Adjusting the body would probably really fuck with the mo cap

Fedelias · Mar 14, 2017

There's something about the eyes in this game that really bothers me. They look so dead, it adds this creepy stiffness to every character.

Jocund · Mar 14, 2017

Major step back from the Inquisition creator. That game's use of grids and whatnot was pretty good. This just goes back to the stupid sliders. Why?

And the eyes do look dead. Witcher is one of the few RPGs to get eyes on characters right. They're vibrant and animated without being cartoonish.

Mifec · Mar 14, 2017

45 min of gameplay with custom chars if anyone wants to make a bread

It doesn't in games like Saints Row, WWE2K, alot of MMOs with mo-cap cutscenes, etc.

hydruxo · Mar 14, 2017

Hair still looks like garbage in this engine, just like it did in Inquisition. What a shame. Honestly though I'll probably just go with default Ryder, just not sure if I want to go with Scott or Sara.

PSqueak · Mar 14, 2017

Mime Ryders or no buy!

Callibretto · Mar 14, 2017

Is the eye look really big too anyone? Make it look a bit cartoonish

Can you stop posting this picture? Shepard's body is the one which is out of proportion here, not Ryder's.

Having to work on Thursday means that hopefully we'll get some good face codes up and running, yeah.

I do think the default Sara looks better than previous videos showed (somewhat intangibly so), but while none of the other faces are as bad as 'default' ME3 femshep, they're not great either.

There's something about the eyes in this game that really bothers me. They look so dead, it adds this creepy stiffness to every character.

Yeah, they seem to be either not 'tracking' quite as well, or are just missing some level of 'sheen' to them that ME3 had.

Basketball · Mar 14, 2017

TRASH

Dinda · Mar 14, 2017

As good as Frostbite was for great environments etc. It was really a major step back for Bioware in the character faces department.

Everything looks like it is some sort of comic style, even though i'm sure they are actually trying to make them look realistic.....

Toa TAK · Mar 14, 2017

Honestly, I don't ever really expect much on this front. I keep saying it but Fallout 3 was the character creator I had the best experience with. Having a few ethnic sets to build a foundation on was super helpful.

Also, eyes in Mass Effect haven't been good since 2, at least in motion.

I'll do what I normally do in that my primary I'll just base off my beautiful face and then use default FemRyder for the secondary.

FHIZ · Mar 14, 2017

Honestly was hoping they just lifted DA:I's creator so I could take my settings and have the same looking character.

Anyways, feel like I'm going to wait a week and see what some people with way more pertinence that I come up with and use their sliders. Not sticking with the vanilla protagonist this time around.

Trickster · Mar 14, 2017

30 seconds in and I'm already depressed at how bad the preset female heads are...

Glass Rebel · Mar 14, 2017

It was always funny to me how these BioWare RPGs have seemingly increased the focus on romancing but still have these absolutely terrible character creators. I can't think of anything more appealing than having a lifeless looking husk getting it on with a virtual character!

I love those biased crappy image based on outdated content. Those are the actual proportion:

It isnt because of mocap, its because they are too lazy to do morphs for the body and all the different armor pieces.

ArgyleReptile · Mar 14, 2017

As someone who loves character creation, this looks disappointing. Character seems like they'd look out of place among the main crew if they aren't default, and not in a good way.

ironcreed · Mar 14, 2017

It's good enough. Love the background music as well.
