I would say it is worth it to make a few different character models possible. We were promised an awesome character customization. We got a choice of penis size and pubic hair.
I'd start designing a new animation rig system that has more connection points. Just like how weapons and items can be grabbed and pinned to the character model. Character butts, and hands would have a similar system. Which would allow the program to adjust a animation. As for animations. They would need bending down or standing on tippy toes. With the points, the game would run the animations. But also have the ability to redirect the hands or legs to the points. So if a tall person sits down on a chair. The feet never clip into the floor. Like when using a stock animation post. The butt snaps to the chair. Feet stay on floor.
Also, I'm fine with Saint Rows 3 and 4's body sculpter. The clothing hugs the deformed bodies and looks odd. But I rather be able to adjust everything. Than have "perfect" looking clothing that this game does. So perfect, dick and boob size are disabled with clothes on. In Saints Row. You have a big dick. You have a big bulge on your clothes.
Agreed. What boggles my mind is why can't we have different saves for different characters playing as a Nomad, Street Kid or Corpo. Each one of them would be completely separate campaign modes unique to their starting points.
That's them not wanting to do 3rd person mode. That's not the engine being crap.
I get that it is a very difficult task for the developers so maybe they shouldn't have promised a good character creation system and been honest about the limitations. Also, cutscenes are taking priority over fun. This is supposed to be an action adventure RPG but it is mostly just inconsequential dialogue options with some bad gun play sprinkled in between. The fact that there are no reflections for V is just sad.
That's all I wanted in the promotion material. If it's basic, say it's basic. I wouldn't have bought the game on launch. Because that was one of the key reasons why I preordered. And waited when I felt like getting it. But they said it was this extensive thing. Start it up. Has less functions compared to Saints Row 4. I go...you're not extensive when you can't beat a 6 year old game.
And that, to me, is letting your expectations and assumptions run wild. Instead of thinking, "Oh, cool, you can customize your genitals, I wonder if you can customize anything else about your body," people apparently went, "Oh, cool, you can customize your genitals, that means we should totally be able to customize body size and other stuff too!"
They said extensive character creator many, many times. They kept saying there was more to show when you start the game. So they acted like there were things hidden. You can't say extensive willy nilly. When games in the past have better stuff. You have to directly state your character creator is basic. Because the world doesn't automatically think: An advance modern game will have less features than gamess done 6 years ago.
