Character Customisation (YES/NO) - The Definitive Thread

[luciferintears]

here i am arguing for more consistency and realism and then this comes along...

we might as well smear our face with red tiger camo

 

[Wookie87]

To be honest, if TWI do this, i foresee it being done as paid DLC ala Killing Floor DLC skins. I honestly can't see them doing this for free.

i would love to see this!

camo smocks(zeltbahn worn over), different head wear, or just helmet nets or covers, and of course just wear and tear added.

and if it was "buyable" content, for a few quids.. id proply buy it. even if it was done in several dlcs for differnt bits, id just buy the ones i wanted, aslong as they were see able by other players.

Don't even mention cosmetic DLC. This isnt ****ing Hat fortress.

If this happens it should be free or nothing.

I'd like some uniform/apparel customization as long as it doesn't turn into some ridiculous costume party with people wearing whatever they bloody like. If devs intend to implement this in the future, they have to be cautious about it.

 

[Polshevik]

Great idea, totally agree with it. Perhaps give the player not too much choice, to still make it realistic.
It would let a player feel even more that he is actually taking a part in virtual war.

i want some tall boots and riding pants like patton. some pearl handled revolvers would be ace as well! can i get the dog too?

Another idea to add to this thread:

Customization could potentially be found under the "Profile" menu where you'd find your class progression. From there, you would be prompted to customize your player for both warm weather maps (like Spartanovka and Barracks) and for winter weather maps (like Commissar's House and Red October Factory).

In my opinion, customization should be limited to textures that are unlocked. All options would be preset by Tripwire and, therefor, but authentic and tasteful.

Talk about it.

 

[kylepatrickswan]

(adding onto last post) Players could customize each class (2 for each when considering weather). Considering that not everyone would care to customize his character, an option to randomize the character loadout could be chosen (a checkbox under the customization window).

 

[sturmfuhrer]

Very much so.

Sturm.

 

[The Commissar]

I completely agree; but, there are more important matters to address before this feature is implemented.

 

[PeteAtomic]

...and they say women don't play video games

 

[Baron Von Broccoli]

Absolutely. Unlock these items as you level up.

 

[Lone Rebel]

I agree to some extent of customization, but over the standard uniform. You should always be able to tell which side the player is, no matter what he's wearing

 

[BoXMaN]

i like it, really is funny dress up barbies ..

not, is a joke

I LIKE THE IDEA OF CHARACTERS CUSTOM.
LUCK WITH THIS

 

[Big Noyd]

This would be amazing. It would definitely keep people playing I think. I'd have a lot more interest if we could do this.

This too though.

I would rather would like to see them in their standard uniforms or it would not look like Russian/German army, something that could be great is a body modification system, like wrestling games offer, where you can modify how tall, fat, (none)bearded somebody is.

Totally agree!
That's what I'd like to see as well. Maybe some simple face customisation too (hair color, eye color, beard - for veterans, etc.), and I'd consider two additional aspects: female soldiers and different ethnics (russian side only).
In my opinion the body type would be the most important, and that could add another layer of authenticity which was never done before. You could recognise your comrades not only by names, but by how they look in-game.

 

[Manbearpig]

Really? Female soldiers in WW2 in Stalingrad? Lay down the pipe a little man .

The face customization would be nice, but on the different ethinicities and genders.....its not going to happen; been discussed.
