I kind of like the character creator but it seems like there are not really enough color options.
I was making my first female V last night at launch and I couldn't get the red nails to match the lips and hair.
I expect there will be additional hair styles and colors available in future content, but for all the hype of the character creation screen, there were surprisingly few alternates for each section of customization.
I'm not knocking it with bad intent, perhaps expanded options for looks & hair configurations will be available in game. I just thought - perhaps incorrectly, - that there would be way more hair and color styles. As well as all the other selections, like 15-20 each at least.
It took me a while to figure out how to remove the dirty looking freckles on her face.
The lipstick only had a few colors options... why not a color palate to pick from? like once you get red,, scale the intensity and the tint... Have you seen the make-up options at the store for womens hair and lipstick, it's expansive and I feel they just didn't quite capture that here.
As for hair, I didn't really care for the default styles, dreads, fro, half shaved etc... My V is going to be a hottie... I was hoping for a mohawk - a cute little mohawk, but didn't see what I wanted so I ended up just going for kind of mid length hair down both sides of her face... but then after the first area when you unlock your apt.. V is bald again!?!? like what happened to the hair I picked? did she shave it? is that a bug? I don't know lol. So I rocked a fedora but still.
regarding the genitals, I feel let down a bit. - The options for that were kind of lacking. - do they have twig n berries or not... if yes, is the twig cut or not... big or small... that's it.
I feel they neglected the taco... I was hoping to see a buffet of options from neat and tidy to roast beef sandwich. not the case sadly. Perhaps it was the hype of just having them in the game, I never thought that should be a big deal, but if they are going to have them they could have had a slightly less robotic variety of them. that's all. as well as piercings down there.
Tattoos, could have had way more also. I bet there will be additional ones added later.
Now I am mostly happy with the character I made, but will be starting over again tonight now that I have a taste of the hacking mechanics and how that works, I want to re-spec my build and start from scratch with a hot bald V. _ this way when she gets her apartment, I don't have to worry about her losing the look I built in the character creation screen.
All in all it's a solid start, and I expect they will expand quite a bit onto the character creation.. maybe additional voices.
