As planned, the
Dragon Age: Origins Character Creator hit the Internet earlier yesterday afternoon. Made available so players could get a jump on the game instead of staring at a creation screen for the first few hours, it doesn’t disappoint. Then again, it isn’t an ambitious downloadable -- it’s just a character creator. I would find it hard to believe that such a thing could fail.
Especially when it’s so easy to make me with it. Last night I decided to mess around with the tool, and
like with Champions Online, I made a Brad Nicholson. Unlike
Champions, this creator isn’t about outlandish creation -- the options here are like with the later
Elder Scrolls games, except turned down a few notches to avoid extensive brow or eye spacing issues. As such, you can make a remarkably lifelike character without so much of the hassle.
But this thing really needs more flume control. And bicep options. And pec depth.
Hit the gallery to check out my Brad Nicholson creation. All the tweaks are pictured as well, that way you can duplicate my design and have the ultimate Human Noble from the second
Origins releases on November 3rd. You’re welcome.

This is why I propose that the face should be located on your character's neck. That, or more pretty hair accessories.
There should just be a "Fat Princess" button that auto makes Jim Sterling.
; )
Games in general don't like to give you the option to make a fatty. It is not seen as a desirable option and also for fitting in with the plot of most games it is unlikely that a fat person would be doing anything heroic, unless of course it involoves food or being lazy. Smackdown lets you make larger characters but i can't really think of any RPG, MMO etc that do.
(not an RPG, but Saints Row 1 and 2 let you also)
I just think you hate fat people Kris.
Why do you have to insinuate that large people are only desirable for lazy food ingesting roles? Chris Farley was an awesome fucking Ninja!
Lol truffle shuffle ftw my fiend :)
Oh and the companies themselves say it's not desirable
Hehe never noticed your comment, whilst I think you are probably right about me you didn't really disprove what I said. Most games companies do not like you making fat characters, I swear I've read interviews saying that. It's like comics when generally the only fat people you see are villains because if a hero is supposed to be the genetic height of perfection logic states they wouldn't be fat.
Like I said though you are more than likely right about my prejudice towards them though, it's like looking at failed evolution :)
Fiend should read friend and apologies for the though though in the last sentence. It seems the get home form work joint has affected my brain...now what was I saying about failed evolution ;P
