Nobody wants to play as a character they don’t like. People’s tastes and opinions are fluid. The day someone’s fickle opinion changes regarding their character’s appearance, and they start not enjoying playing as that character… What do you think they’ll do? They’ll quit.
Imagine if you had to wear the same outfit every day for your entire life. No variation. Would you get tired of it? Would you come to despise it? This is the position you’re putting people in.
Having people be able to change their character’s appearance is a very smart move, and it should’ve been implemented on official before the game officially released.
I’m fairly certain I saw that mentioned at one point as being in the pipeline but, you know, the pipeline is a bit clogged with a large patch at the moment and the plunger keeps breaking.
I put on a fresh shirt every day, but unfortunately my face is the way it is. I don’t go to a plastic surgeon every time I want some variety.
I can dress my Conan Exiles character with any clothes or armor I come across, but her face is the way it is.
Most of the time I can’t see my own face, so I can live with it and try to avoid mirrors. And in-game I mostly see my character’s butt, so I can live with it, too.
100% Kapoteeni - luckily warpaint is easier than laser, but otherwise go on a PIPPI server and bribe an Admin
I am guessing that there are other survival games that allow changing ones character and those have created the expectation. Maybe an opportunity for FunCom to make a special, DIFFICULT TO CRAFT, potion for this, but unlikely. Besides, at least we do not have permanent damage applied to wound scarring and the like. Or ageing…
At the very least we should be allowed to change our hair- and beardstyles after character creation without the need for mods (and/or bothering our server admins if playing on private servers with those mods in place).
Also, you need to consider that those who play on consoles or official servers don’t have mods available to them.
I just want to be able to shave my character’s arm pits so they can wear a sleeveless outfit! Being hairy and unkempt at the very start of the game makes sense, but not by the time you’re able to craft steel or starmetal.
We can craft refrigerators, swords from meteors, elevators, wear makeup, but no one has ever heard of a razor? I don’t recall any of the heroic women in Frank Frazetta or Boris Valejo’s artwork, nor any of the movies being so unkempt (nor many of the men for that matter). While I can see Cimmerian women going au naturale, I’m pretty sure the Stygians (being based off Egyptians) were known for shaving off all their body hair.
IMO, this should either be an option during character creation, and/or outfits that are from relevant religions, cultures (Stygian/Set, Lemurian/Derketo) should be tweaked to hide armpit hair when worn (e.g. Derketo, Set, Lemurian Royal/Warrior, Stygian Raider/Soldier, etc).
And no, suggesting the existing mods for this isn’t helpful to those of us who play on Officials, it just adds insult to injury.
There is a way to change your appearance on official servers. However it will require you to forfeit your level and feat points.
Have another player join a clan with you, making all your buildings belong to the clan. Select recreate character and redesign your character. After creation, go to your clan mate and join back up with the clan.
You will have to relevel, but you will have access to all of your surplus supplies.
This is only theoretical to me at this point. I have not created a clan or joined one. Anyone able to confirm or disprove this tactic?
Maybe in the futture we will have to craft a potion that will allow you change that. If you will need allot herbs to makit it will give you somtjing to do in late game maybe a du geon will give you the rwcipe and you will need to get the herbs. The posibilitis are endles in this game. The execution is the one that hold us back
Bear in mind that doing all the “avoidable” journey steps early is counterproductive - much better to get to (at least) lvl 30ish before doing them. Some can hardly be avoided - eat, drink, slay etc - but others (throw an orb, fire a trebuchet, get a boss head etc) can be easily postponed until you get more out of them.
In testlive the camera zoomed past the character and I was given my Steam name.
Also first time I created a character, single player, totally overlooked the naming bit. lol!
