Nope. Fuck you.

Can’t even reject all cookies. Like the personalized ads option only has an “accept” button. Isn’t that a GDRP violation?

You have to go into “manage settings” and the second header to get a “reject all cookies” option. Fucking bullshit tbh, because it was lagging out on my phone while I was trying to navigate it

Ahaha I had exactly the same reaction xD

Not gonna lie, I misread it at first and thought to myself "yeah, Todd Howard fans are that maniacal, makes sense"

I tried to create Amos from The Expanse. It only took like 10 minutes though I will admit I did a poor job and nobody would guess by looking at him.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's a great character to pick

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

He is that guy.

I wonder how long this takes people. Couple of hours? All day? Customizing characters in game for me is a tedious task. I usually just pick a preset most of the time so I can start playing.

Most games you don’t even see the character model (Diablo 3)

My problem right now is I created my character and am very happy with them in character creator, but when I look at him in game I'm unhappy. I've even paid to tweak him a bit and it's better but I'm still not happy.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I'm like 90% sure that the character creator has lighting features enabled that are normally disabled for performance reasons, which is why it's much easier to look good in the character creator than it is in the game.

If I'm right, maybe modders can "fix" it (although it will probably tank performance).

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Doesn't need to tank performance. Instead of turning on the lighting elsewhere, they could turn it off in character creation so you can see what it'll actually look like.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

The extra shaders are also applied to NPCs when you talk to them. But there’s never really a way to see the player’s face with these features outside the character creator.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

My character looks like they have plastic skin in game. Thought it was fine in the creator.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

paid to tweak him? you.. you don't mean actual real money, right?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

There are "enhance" locations in the game that you can pay 500 credits to remake your character. No, not real money.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I always end up with some kind of potato man that looks worse than the presets, then immediately put a helmet on that never comes off.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I always try to make myself. But i always pretty much look like the default character

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Spent about two hours making a good looking character face in Elden Ring just to wear a full helm 99% of the game. No regrets.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I love this fucking game.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Holy shit that person who did Todd Howard was spot on

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes that's the only one that looked the part. The others are hardly recognisable.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah, most of them are "we have X at home" quality.

Pretty sure it said that one was fake.
