I know it seems petty, but if I’m going to spend 50+ hours looking at this guys head and two sequels to follow I don’t want his f*cking sideburns running parallel to his facial hair. You can’t even just have a bit of stubble, you have to have at least a semi-thick beard… Which doest line up with any of the hair options so the beards come up about 2cm forward of the sideburns…

10 or so options, 8 of which look like a cross between One Direction and Eric Bana’s plastic Ray Martin wig from Full Frontal. So some people just can’t be as white or as dark as others (why the f*ck does my white guy have a tan after 600 years in a box?).ĭon’t even get me started on the hair.

But then you can’t change other things like skin textures. For example you cant pick your characters eyebrows, so you have to pick eyebrows you want from the (9 or so) presets…. The presets are all retarded looking and then it locks you into certain “features” that stop you creating the character you want. I started over about 3 times then went with the default character. Only played about an hour last night so only got a very early impression buy HOLY SH*T IS THAT CHARACTER CREATION TOOL TERRIBLE! Since my post from this morning is still ‘awaiting moderation’: It looked fine in the character creation screen, but once we loaded her into the game we got this monstrosity: Only this one had no gap between her nose and her lips. I gave the character creator to a friend to have a go, and she came out with a Ryder who was… very similar to mine. Just like in the original, the game opens with a long, unskippable cutscene before a dramatic reveal of your character’s face - and any horrible flaws and angles you that looked normal in the character creator. As a short-haired woman, I can only look on at the mens’ styles with envy.Īndromeda is guilty of another character creation sin that Mass Effect games have been roasted for in the past. While you can change the size and position of different facial features, it’s incredibly difficult to get your Ryder’s face to differ dramatically from the preset.įor some reason Bioware also chose to lock hairstyles to their respective genders, even though some (if not most) of them were quite neutral in that regard. You can also only adjust skin tone a few shades either way from the preset. The options for changing face shape, eye shape, eyebrow style, mouth style and nose style are now completely gone - you just have to pick the preset with the features you like best to begin with. The problem is, presumably to keep the Ryder family looking like a family, you’re not allowed to stray far from the preset. These presets are what your father’s appearance will be based off, as well as allowing you to customise your twin from the same set. See, Andromeda bases its character creation heavily around nine presets. No, it’s not hard to create a nice character in Mass Effect Andromeda - unless you want a character that doesn’t look like any of the presets. I was struck by how realistic my Ryder looked while I rotated her in the creation screen, though they never look quite as nice in game as they do on that screen. In fact, it’s quite easy to make a character that looks properly human with Andromeda’s new character creator. Up close, you can see the little freckles and blemishes on her face. She’s got purple hair, because that’s now an option and honestly how can you not.

Mass Effect Andromeda’s character creator is the most restrictive and disappointing of any modern Bioware game, in a game series where character customisation is incredibly important to many players.
Forget the face animations, forget the glitches, forget the amazing open world.
