Re: Why is excluding white character creation.

Technically he is not joking as I too found the same issue in the trial (could not make "milky white" the closest skin tone I could get to was similar to that of a light far eastern complexion.

Was not sure if it was monitor settings, gfx card settings or me just not fully understanding the menu.

All in all I found the character creation to be a bit funky as selecting the custom creation still defaulted to a pre-selected head type to modify, and I could not change the pre-selected head type (that is another issue anyway I will persist longer in the full game as didn't want to waste trial time).

While the OP has gone straight for the dramatic terms (seriously racist? bad choice of word!) I do wish to confirm that the skin tone and complexion options did leave me wondering if the was some cannon I missed that made it so white Europeans did not make it on to the ships.

I admit the character creation is a bit clunky, you can double click on a preset to switch to it if that was one of the issues you had.

As for the light far east, I sort of fixed this with film grain, it adds a certain tone to the skin, turned it off and it's much clearer. Lets not forget that these people are all adventurers, they go out into the sunshine and fresh air, so they'll technicall all be slightly tanned 😉

I think you've just got to spend a little time playing about with all the setting to be honest, but going so far as to pull the racist card is a bit OTT in my opinion.

Agreed, the is another thread on here linking to a tweet from a dev saying it is a known issue but will not be fixed on a day one patch.

Ultimately I suspect it was an oversight, and will be fixed once the game becomes more stable, but pretty big oversight if you can not create the character your happy with from the get go (personally for me I don't mind too much, just found it bizarre)

Cora has a very 80's punk rock hair cut. Seriously, you do realize that in battle, short hair is an advantage, especially if you have to cram it into a helmet? Heck, every girl that has been in a street fight knows the one with the long hair is at a disadvantage.

Heh. At least the lowest skin tone settings will be appropriate for any zombie mod.

I was speaking out about this since day 1 release. It probably wasn't an oversight with who Bioware had working with them, and the SJW virus that infected it. I am almost positive that it was left out on purpose.

Also fun fact, I made a really cool Ryder like my 3rd try, and then I got to one part and because I couldn't EDIT the actual structure of the bones he came off as a creepy uncle, or a full head of hair Trevor from GTAV. I * you not.

A lot of the hairstyles look totally horrible with lighter and/or brighter colors. You can't make a good blond character, it just looks yellow. No good depth, no shine or hightlights that look like hair.

And of course, there is only one type of eyebrows in the world. You can just position them differently. Sorta.
