Yhekal Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 (edited) Dear Devs, People had been asking for the character aging option/more detailed facial features, since the 2011.. Bioware, please tell us that You will finally take action. The head and faces we can use, had remained unchanged since the launch of the game and I'm sure many people are tired of using the same 2-3 faces for their characters (the rest of the faces is just ugly - imho). Let's add some more depth to this! Especially with the KOTFE NPCs - they are nicely designed, with much detail put to their facial features. With my character, in comparison, I feel like a poor cousin.. A lot of NPCs have the 'aging' customization in-game already, so it should not be difficult to provide players this opiton. Pretty please???? Some samples below of more detailed facial features: Sample 1 Sample 2 - with cool facial hair Sample 3 (Chiss) Sample 4 Sample 5 (with cool sideboards) Sample 6 Sample 7 Thank You in advance, May the Force be with You!

ZanyaCross Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Upvoted. Would love to see some age-diversity in the character creation. Yeah, I know, a padawan in their 50s, but there are RP ways around that, and we have an appearance changer for a reason. I wouldn't mind adding a few lines to a character's face when they finish their class story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediJuliusDavin Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 They used to have more face complexion options in beta. Don't know why they got rid of them. I'd like some aged faces too. And some close cropped goatees and beards. Right now it's either skimpy little patches of hair or lumberjack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inzuher Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Light grey lines in otherwise black hair. Just saying, please make it happen for purebloods xD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TriggerBlade Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 I read somewhere that the class stories go over the course of 10 years. If this is true, I wouldn't mind an option similar to hide darkside corruption that adds some sign of aging. Even if minor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inzuher Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 The original class stories are only transpiring over 1-3 years, I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyCharmers Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Every time I see Shae Vizla and Hylo Visz, I cry a little inside because we can't use any of the subtle aging marks on the face like theirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yhekal Posted January 17, 2016 Author Share Posted January 17, 2016 Some more samples.. Please make it happen! Give us more options to customize facial features. Cole Cantarus Some Guy Some Trader...

Nomaad Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 (edited) Yah I would love a toon to look like a mature hot older lady, like general whatshername from the trooper story Edited January 17, 2016 by Nomaad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowermanx Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Yes please, would be a great option to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaisernick Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I want to be more mature. My jedi was a jedi long before the class story on my RP server so looking young is annoying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagSul Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I agree as well; I would like to see my Jedi Master character looking a bit more seasoned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kataret Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Agreed and supported. Seems that there are some examples of this in-game already, so would be a great addition to the ways we can personalize our own characters. Hope this makes it into game sooner or later. /signed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, same. Really, why can't NPCs and Players pull from the same customization options? Plus, there are many older players that would like to add wrinkles to their characters.

Yhekal Posted June 1, 2016 Author Share Posted June 1, 2016 I really hope that the aging customization will be implemented soon. There were so many threads created about this over the years, so many people want richer appearance options for their chars... Wrinkles (and more subtle versions of them) are already in-game, used by many npcs. Is it this hard to provide this feature to players? I don't know, maybe it is, prove me wrong. At the first glance it seems not that complicated. At least it should be much easier than creating something brand new from scratch. Have a nice day All!

psandak Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 (edited) Couple of comments: 1. NPCs are more statically designed therefore the artists and animators have more freedom to put those touches in place. Player Characters need to be more dynamic and therefore are generally more limited. 2. Shae and Hylo are newer models and over the course of time the artists and animators improve there techniques. However they do not have sufficient resources to go back and redo EVERY model with the same improved techniques. The same thing happened in WoW with the worgen and goblin races - there design was much improved but the rest of the races remained the same. It took Blizzard several more years to improve the rest of the races' appearances. So have patience, it may happen some day, but do not expect it anytime soon Edited June 1, 2016 by psandak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Immortalelf Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 I'd like more too. ICly, my main character is pushing 40 and looks like she's 18-20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However they do not have sufficient resources to go back and redo EVERY model with the same improved techniques. Sorry, but no. The wrinkles and lines on NPCs, and I suspect Shae and Hylo, are probably done on a separate layer as the skin texture using the exact same engine we create our characters with, just with options we don't have. All the devs would have to do is add some options to the "complexion" layer in character creation. If they really wanted to get fancy, they might do a specular layer to make the little lines and ridges affected by lighting, but I'm not sure if that would interfere with the scars later, which does the same thing.

Rolodome Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 I would certainly like more detail freedom. It is kind of, what's the word... odd? In some KOTFE cutscenes, when your outdated-cartoony-face toon is stacked up against 3-5 NPCs who all have details you can't have, making them look more photo-realistic. In fact, I would be ok if some of the detail was stuff that only showed up in cutscenes. As it is, I think detail already differs a little in cutscene vs. not in cutscene, even for player character.

Sobekeus Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Not necessarily aging, but updated detailing to KotFE standards would be great. Maybe even a companion pass to go along with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaiddyn Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 /supported I'd love a little character "revamp" to KoTFE standards and the option to put "aging" on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
