Customiseable characters

[CA_Hiro]

I was watching some trailers for the upcoming "Dead Rising 2" and When I saw the multiplayer part, I saw how their personal character had different kind of clothes on. Like totally random, which didn't really had anything to do with the theme.

Therefor I thought. Why not being able to customize the appearance of your character, like being able to give them silly hats and glasses and other "stupid" stuff, just to make the char look fun or whatever you feel like.

It's just an idea and it might not work.

Any thoughts?

I' say its another one for that pile of "Stuff I would love to see, but doubt it will ever be added or is even possible" ideas.

Mind you Yomommassis was working on something pretty interesting. Take a look.

As long as you didn't have to do anything difficult/play KF for a loooooong time to unlock any. Otherwise we have the whole tf2 hats thing all over again.

Anyway from the looks of it, we'll have custom skins working soon anyway.

And as long as the stuff didn't affect your stats. ::bad memories and worse regrets from wasted youth in any number of Korean online games::

I would say yes to this, however i must insist that character customisation be with set pieces, such as Wilkes' armour and Foster's mask.

This may or may not have an effect on downloading maps and connecting to servers; but hopefully less than custom skins.

I wasn't really referring to the Silly hat customization thingy from TF2. It was after you mention it, that I thought of it.

This could work nicely.

I think it might be neat as long as it's not gimmicky like the TF2 hat thing. I think it'd work better if there were both serious and silly things, "serious" being normal stuff like a different gas mask and/or suit for Mr. Foster and silly being the glasses and such.

Ability to paint over your skins and still use them online would be everything. Supported in-game via a menu, all your Skin files would be in a Skin Folder, and selectable from a list.

I'm not saying it's exactly like tf2 hat system. I'm only saying that if you have these as unlockables, people will act like they are a big deal, when they're really just a bunch of bloody hats.

Just make everyone be able to choose certain colors for their uniforms:

Hell yeah, I want my hot pink hazmat suit!

 

[Salad Snake]

I just want a Mr Foster skin without a mask. Or Thorne with a welding mask.

It would be awesome if you could customize your character like in Sims lol..
Serious stuff only would be appreciated though. I doubt that I would take the game "serious" if some guy with pink glasses would spam the EBR on some scrakes...
Being able to choose between a lot of masks (bandanas, balaclavas, gas masks etc.) and other body parts would be great.

Interesting combo..but none the less

Why not just give people the option whether to download others' skins or not. If you disable the "download skins" option and are confronted with a new skin, that person just defaults to one of the regular skins. No harm to him, no harm to you.

Just making them moddable with pre-set pieces would get very boring, very fast, and kill most of the fun and interesting mod ideas.

Are you saying I can use this, without replacing ANYTHING?

That is one ugly skin, if rather well made.
