Origins 'Character Creator' launching October 13th photo

Remember when it took you over an hour to bust out of the sewers in Oblivion? Sure, you were eager to play the game, but that nose was just too wide and those cheekbones a bit too gaunt to save the world with. BioWare is hoping to kill this problem in the PC version Dragon Age: Origins with the release of the Origins “Character Creator,” the exact tool players will be using at the beginning of the game to build their unique characters. And the best part is that it’s coming out October 13th -- weeks in advance of the games release.

It’s an anal RPG face creator’s dream come true.

The Character Creator will allow every type of character throughout the game’s six chapters to be created in advance. Also, because it’s ripped from the game, the save files will transfer to the PC version seamlessly. No more wading in a pool and fixing eye color before playing the game.

No word if this tool could make its way to consoles. As Eurogamer notes, the wording is “currently only available to PC players.” Looks like PC gaming has won once again. Somehow.

Dragon Age: Origins hits November 3rd.

This is good, I usually have a hell of time creating a character that I just go with the default.

Fuckin' A sweet. I bet this'll be a good way to benchmark your system against the game too.

They should just make it into a demo for the consoles. Because I'm sure as hell going to need it. Character customization, not to even mention originally creating one, take me forever to get right, and even then I just change it all the time. For instance, just yesterday I sat on Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 for probably a good half-hour on my badass Elite-ranked spec ops soldier just switching, re-switching, recoloring, re-outfitting, etc. That shit is ridiculous for me. I'm anal. It's true. Gimme plz, BioWare? It would really save me the hell of going through it later when I just want to start playing. Or then again, I'll probably just end up spending even more time customizing anyway.

This is gonna make a great fantasy character generator. Sounds like it'll be free, too. Me and my brother are gonna lose a day on this.
