1 month to release, still no info about multiplayer tech test... 
Divinity: Original Sin is probably the closes new release. If you like story in games you really should look it up on youtube. It looks great.

i don't know shit about these types of rpgs so that looks like diablo too.
i'll check it out.
ah, that looks like diablo too. these types of games take a lot of dedication so I don't know if i'm ready for it yet.
maybe i should just take a break from gaming and look at mass effect next month. yakuza 0 was a great game though.

She looks good. Now if they only let me change her hairstyle and hair color then we'll be golden.Ryder's character kit was updated with a newer image. Scott's as well. Still think she looks perfectly fine.
I'm in the same position. Planning to get MEA and Nier atm.
IF you haven't played Divinity: Original Sin then play that instead lol! That game is amazing, one of the best tactical combat system ever. Me and my GF couch-coop that game on the PS4 all the way through and she rarely plays/enjoys games.

oh hey it is you! seen you around in the 0 thread I think.
OK man I will check it out if I find it for a nice price. I like games with a good story.

I must have around 300 posts in that thread, so that's not surprising lol
So I'm guessing there's a ME "Keep"?

yeah you're also the guy who made these avys for us
also I think you were in the kazuya mishima vs kazuma kiryu thread i made 2 years ago
I'm just hoping for a JSON document I can edit, share, and upload.

Someone should ask him if we can make adjustments to default Ryders.
Hmmm, not sure about Kazuya vs Kazuma one, but yeah, you can usually find me in Yakuza related threads.
EDIT:
Oh, wow. You've got an impressive memory.

I tweeted something about that earlier today, but got no response. Gonna try again with a different dev.

Thanks for trying. Hopefully you'll have better luck with another dev.

Devs won't answer, shinobi won't answer... what's the big secret..
Son Of Sparda

I wish they'd just answer that. All this silence is giving me some (most likely false) hope which might lead to disappointment.
The biggest issue is when the character creator lighting doesn't represent the actual game very much, causing many issues when the game actually starts and the face looks way different. This happened in Inquisition a lot and was unfortunate.

Yay!

You're asking if you can tweak the default Ryders? No, you can't.
I think people will be real pleased with the character creator though. I've seen a few different Ryders and how the family looks change based off of it and the tech there is mighty impressive. I'd go as far as to say they looked better than the defaults.

Bummer that the defaults still can't be tweaked. But great to hear that the creator actually may create non-hideous faces this time.
Yay!
RGB wheel for the ending too this time? Trolol.
If the faces are scanned from models, there could be several reasons why they're not editable.
For one thing, as their face isn't necessarily built from the face creation engine, it's entirely possible that the default face is impossible to recreate in it, meaning that allowing it to be manipulated would also be impossible.
Secondly, if they are a licensed face, there may be certain complications in allowing for slight tweaking of the appearance.

Ah, that's a bummer. Thanks for answering though, at least now I won't get myself disappointed over it.
Yeah, customizable characters use different texture types with transparency so that you can adjust makeup, scars, freckles, etc. and layer that all onto a single character to create different complexions. In all likelihood the face-scanned Ryders don't have alphas which prevent such changes from being possible.

Yeah, figured the first reason was likely. Didn't even think of the second reason. Good point.

With how easy it seems it'll be to share great looking faces with other gamers, I look forward to participating heavily in that. It'll be nice to help people that aren't great at CC's. I fancy myself an expert of sorts
Tons of celebrities, models etc. to be done.With how easy it seems it'll be to share great looking faces with other gamers, I look forward to participating heavily in that. It'll be nice to help people that aren't great at CC's. I fancy myself an expert of sorts
Same I have a really fun time and make good-looking characters if I do say so myself lol.

That's a bit of a disappointment. I like default Scott, but wanted to tweak him a bit. If the quality of the CC-made characters is comparable to the Bioware-built ones though, I may just create my own... Or wait until someone makes and shares a ridiculously good looking one

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
I'm gonna spend a lot of time in the character editor hoping I can get something resembling the asian female with the ponytail in Battlefront.

If the character creator allows then I might just do a one person from every race thing for multiple playthroughs.
Sorry, no Geth squadmate.
I don't know if they said anything about it but I'd highly doubt it. You're going to get another "VI" though, it's connected to your nervous system.

Watched that video Shinobi linked, and the guy mentioned that the Nexus level thing in the upper right corner might be your multiplayer level. Which made me think: Has base building in the style of Inquisition been confirmed? I always thought that Nexus bar was meant for that previously.
It has been briefly mention in an podcast with Aaryn and in the old leak. Not a lot of info aside from the fact that you can choose what kind of outpost you want to construct
