What about a Character Generator?

[Nia]

I don't mean in-game, but what about something that allows us to see a basic template of the races and think about what we want our character's appearance to be.

They did something like that for Dragon Age: Origins before it came out.

It doesn't have to be anything fancy, even a simple flash thing would be neat.

Or would that be too much of a pain in the butt (I don't want to slow down the development)?

If you mean with all armors and stuff...idk ..would be cool ...
But with just the initial creation of character with eyes,color , hair and shit ...well... I think it'll be allot of work ...just for something that you decide like in 5 minutes or less...

I take it you don't really put much care into your character...
In most RPGs where I can customize a character, it takes me a long time to decide.
If I can't care about my character, I can't play them.

In DBO there weren't much things to customize your char with at all (not counting gear and such)
The only thing that would genuinely take time would be the name of your character.

I'm going to guess this is about just the character customization part, that can probably be implemented to the site but I'm guessing that will be hard to do.  But idk much on those types of things. I could play around with the character customization thing for fun tho.

It doesn't have to be deep.
Ever played Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology on the PSP? It barely had any customization, and it still took me about 20 minutes to decide. 

But I do get what you're saying. I think it's just mostly me dreaming of what I want my character to look like.

What's so much to choose? I understand that it might take some time on some other games that have modeling parts and shit ...but here? lol
Plus ...you usually end up wearing stuff that'll cover all the body ...

It's personal preference.
I'm sure a lot of gamers do it too.

Hell, I never once wore a helm in Dragon Age, because I couldn't stand how my characters looked with one on.

There were allot of things that you could were on your head in dbo ...and my favorite one ...THE MIGHTY AFRO

[Nia]

Um...yeah. I'm not giving my character a 'fro.
If the head gear is like a scouter or something, then I'm all for it, but I'm not interested in full helms.

There is no headgear, but yeah there is a scouter. It just don't act like other gear parts. Besides you can turn the scouter model off.
About full helmets, there are decorative parts, that you can put on, but you don't have to. Usually they have no effects, though you can upgrade them and they get random effects. This choice is basically yours then.

Btw i can totally understand why you take so long with creating a char. It always takes me ages, and after that is the naming.... xD
How about checking some dbo videos on youtube to see at least some part of the character creation ?

[Nia]

I've seen some of the creation process, but it's not quite the same as using it.
I'm still excited for the game though!

[Luke[Dumke]]

There really wasn't much to customize at all.

It would require alot more work then what would be worth it.

considering the main amount of customization is as you play through the game with various amounts of different armour/dogi/accessory/etc combinations.

the main character creation is just how do you want your hair/antennae too look, what kind of eyes you want, skin color, gender, race, class
Sure i can understand, someone enjoy making them consider is still quite the selection.

But overall, it would be waste of time to try and create one of these generators.

Alright then.
I'll take your word for it.
