Make my face more gender neutral if old

 

[M1chl]

How about add more faces and not modify those already in the game? How is that more diverse, if you modify faces already in the game...

Thats probably where this is leading, their engine is so fucky that it takes forever to make small changes, then Telesto breaks something

 

[Skifi28]

Character customisation was terrible and in need of an overhaul, buts this is the wrong reason to do it.

 

[Flintty]

So they’re gonna change my face and not give me the option to edit it? Thanks Bungie. Thanks diversity!

Because every white skinned blue eyed character you created now looks like they've spent 20 weeks in tahiti with contact lenses thrown in for good measure.

"Diversity Committee"
JFC. I always keep my helmet on but this is just one of those eye-rolling decisions that companies continue to do.

Not sure if I remember that correctly, but almost all characters were some alien weirdo, not sure what it has to do with humans.

 

[Night.Ninja]

What the problem? People see the word diversity and get scared

 

[laynelane]

"...enabling everyone to imagine themselves as their Guardian."

It always sounds so good on paper.

Just tongue in cheek humour mate about how everyone seems to get darker and darker in games.

 

[Aidah]

I wonder if that diversity comittee has someone on it who believe they are an actual deer.

 

[Kokoloko85]

Lol. Work on your fucking game instead of catering to science deniers.
Your male or female, or a hermy. Stfu about it, no1 cares what you identify as

Sorry I did not catch that, probably too advance English for me in the morning : )

 

[cormack12]

The character creator is shit, needs a massive overhaul. Moving to nextgen is probably the right time to do it. I don't think it was an internal review that sparked/initiated it, they were doing and got it reviewed as per new process I'm guessing.

 

[Bernd Lauert]

"Diversity Comittee" sounds like something straight out of some commie dystopia.

 

[Starfield]

I wonder if that diversity comittee has someone on it who believe they are an actual dear.

[Texas Pride]

Anyone giving money to companies employing "diversity committees" deserves what they get. You don't get to bitch & moan. Stop supporting these motherfuckers.

In comie regime this would never happend, only Diversity comitte, which would exist would be at the gate to some work camp. You can see this in China, right now.

I'd think the "problem," relates more to changing someone's own specified character without their consent after creation. Obviously the character was created with the specifications and preferences of the user creating it, and going in and changing that runs contradictory to the point of even allowing one to specify facial features. People don't like things that they've paid for/worked on being changed unless they're the ones changing it. Having it be done by a "diversity committee," is just the stupid icing on the dumb cake.

 

[-Arcadia-]

I recall briefly trying Destiny 2, and just not being able to get a female face that wasn’t hideously mannish. And they’re going to make it worse? Lol.

Also, no company should have a diversity committee. It’s code for letting subversives that should be screeching nonsense on Twitter, have real world effects. Just make great games. As long as you aren’t a closeted KKKer or something, and I truly believe 99% (understatement) of people aren’t, I have confidence that nobody outside of Twitter will give a shit.

 

[Manstructiclops]

Amongst the worst characters models around anyway.... Surely they can't make them worse?

 

[Gormless Noodle]

Everybody was laughing at those wokies studying lesbian dance therapy saying there ain't no jobs in that, but as you can see, they'll simply woosh them into existence out of thin air.

 

[Boss Mog]

"Diversity Comittee" sounds like something straight out of some commie dystopia.

Exactly. Good news is I never have to buy another Bungie game.

 

[tommycronin]

Everyone has been saying it for years that their character creator has been shocking and it took a fucking diversity pack of cunts to tell them that to do something about it. Theres clearly a job for anyone these days.

 

[Kimahri]

I wish people would stop kneeling to this nonsense.

 

[Hudo]

Remember when we were all hyped for Destiny 1 and all the (broken) promises they made? That was the more fun than the actual fucking games...

 

[royox]

My character id a fucking robot. AI LIVES MATTER MOTHERFUCKERS.

 

[keraj37]

 

[Timberwolf25]

Bungie needs to be working on how to bring back Cayde instead of this BS!

 

[GymWolf]

How about working on a new engine for destiny 3 so your game is not gonna look like another shitty crossgen instead?!

 

[-Arcadia-]

I do hope we get a follow-up with a before and after. It could be hilarious. One presumes it will be, given how ‘diversity committees’ tend to work.

 

[Mithos]

If they change the way the character looks, maybe they should allow edits whenever and how often the player wants from a menu or an NPC ingame.
I went through "hours" of testing before settling on what I have because character creator and ingame look is not 100% the same, becasue you have tho create the character and play through the into to get to the tower each time...

 

[Mr. Nobody]

How many D2 players actually play with their characters helmet on? I can't even remember what my character's face looks like at all.

 

[scoobidoo112]

I wonder if that diversity comittee has someone on it who believe they are an actual deer.

It certainly wouldn't surprise me. The inmates are running the asylum. I just hope people in general stop mistaking authoritarian policies of censorship, tone-policing and deplatforming for 'wanting to spread kindness, respect and inclusion' . Cause we've been going down a very dangerous path and there's no sign of it stopping.

In the minds of these kinds of committees, 'inclusion' really means taking things away from you, spitting in your face, and then telling you to stop your privileged whining.

 

[Greatest Of All Time]

I thought this was bullshit so I had to check. Wow.

 

[Swarming101]

Sounds good. The character creator was crap anyway. And more diversity in the choices players can make about how to express themselves is always a good thing.

 

[DJT123]

So, it's already difficult enough to create great art when you have all your ducks in a row. When externalities like these exist, the bar to creating great works becomes impossibly high.

 

[evanft]

People play Destiny 2?

 

[KiNeMz]

It's not a true diversity comitte until the include nortfolk islanders from 1800s

 

[Mista]

What the problem? People see the word diversity and get scared

The problem is you just add different faces and let people choose. You don’t go modifying my current one out of your ass and tell me “well, its diversity”

 

[Self]

Diversity commitee?
Never heard of this term. Is this Industrie standard?

 

[Redlancet]

commitee supervised by our stasi and nkvd agents

 

[A Most Virtuous Cat]

What in the name of the Sweet Lord is this? Are we collectively dreaming? Big Brother will check your player faces, Big Brother will change them if he doesn't like it.

 

[CitizenX]

Its fine, just a 2 game suspension.

 

[Timberwolf25]

Crap like this is why we don't have hot characters in western dev'd games anymore.

 

[Orky]

So the demise of bungie begins.

 

[Warnen]

I forget this game even has a helmet off mode.
