Silly Things From Beta: Character Creation
YES, I KNOW I AM LAME. I know that it’s stupid to spend the first night in regular-beta goggling at the character creation screen.
But holy crap, guys… there is a lot of stuff I didn’t realize before. A twi’lek is not necessarily a twi’lek. Available features for a character species can change by faction or class. SERIOUSLY.
So, let’s have a disclaimer here that I’m not the most thorough tester and things are liable to change…
Cyborgs
- Each class has its own cybernetics. Seriously. It’s not just per faction, it’s by class.
- The smuggler ones are still old and “clunky.” Hopefully they get an overhaul like some of the others that look incredibly swanky. Because right now I’m so wishing I could be an imperial agent.
- Male and female of the same class appear to get the same cybernetics.
- Male facial hair is “attached” to cybernetic options. Which I hate but I suppose that not all beards go with all implants.
Humans
- Imperial Bounty Hunters can have face paint (tied to cosmetics slider in females)
- Sith Warriors and Republic Troopers can have facial tattoos (tied to cosmetics slider in females)
- Edit: Sith Inquisitors have “slave scars”
Miraluka
- For whatever reason, the females at least have far fewer hairdos than the other human-like-races. But they still have many varieties of the mohawk (?!)
Rattataki
- Edit: Sith Inquisitors have slave scars.
Sith Pureblood
- Edit: Sith Inquisitors have slave scars.
Twi’lek
- Edit: Sith Inquisitors have slave scars.
- Lekku pattern is tied on one slider with cosmetics (for females). I hate that. Thought I’d share.
- Edit: Empire/Republic have different Lekku Markings
Zabrak
- Empire and Republic have different tattoo options.
- Empire has option of red skin. Republic does not.
- Imperial zabraks have red rings around their irises (which looks EVIL).
- Edit: Sith Inquisitors have slave scars.
- All the Republic female tattoos include the chin and remind me of a goatee or 5 o’clock shadow. So sad.
If you want to see a long video overview of character creation, go here! It’s far better than any of MY screenies would be. Oh wait, it turns out I couldn’t properly take screenies and ended up installing fraps. I hope to be less fail soon.
