Character Creation is a Disgrace (Destiny Needs Beards 2)
Hi, some of you might remember me from 3 years ago (probably not), in which I had the highest trending post for almost a month at the release of Destiny. I went over how Destiny needed beards, but more importantly a more robust customization system for our characters and almost everyone agreed with me, and there was even a great discussion of cosmetic features for the races, such as the holobeard for exos... real neat stuff. But here we are, three years later and Destiny 2 is out. Surely they'd manage to mildly increase the ability to customize our characters...? Nah its the literal exact same thing as Destiny nothing new, at all.
You'd assume with wanting to please many of the people who were turned off by the first game that the literal easiest thing to do to make a good impression is model some interesting new cosmetic features for the character we're supposed to get attached to for the next ten years we're supposed to be playing this game, yeah?
It just leaves a real negative taste in my mouth that they'd not even do so little as to let us make a decent looking human or space elf or make discount Chappie look interesting. Its just lazy. I could continue on about how robust customization aids immersion and subconsciously makes the player more attached to the story, but the devote player base doesn't care because "you're wearing a helmet who cares" despite being forced to take it off in cutscenes. And Bungie/Activision obviously doesn't care enough to please anyone aside from people dumb enough to actually defend the decision to reuse the exact same system as the first.

Please Bungie, add Beards and expand on character creation
-
The hair is so glitchy.

OMG the first ''guy'' you meet in the game has this awesome beard! loll.. Almost as to insult all players that had previously requested the beard customization. ''You want a beard? here, look at THIS guy!'' I'm hoping that if enough people complain about this that they WILL add the barber shop.. don't see why it would be such a big deal. They clearly know how to make good looking beards. BTW I LOVE what you've done with Destiny 2, Bungie.. I'm a day 1 fan.. but need them beards! :)

The customization system is, code for code, ported directly from the previous game. It also seems like they used the 7th gen version of the game, because our characters look [i]terrible[/i] compared to other characters.

1 ReplyI guess Bungie want the character to not change as to continue the 'adventure' with the same toon as the previous game to give it that 'life long feel' but I agree that human males (well some of them) are able to grow beards and this should have been in the game. If it does get added don't be surprised if its paid Eververse items. Glad I picked an Exo titan - no beards for me :)

5 Replies1. The guardians are a military force. Which means cleanshaven 2. How would you even have a beard AND wear a small helmet
-
5 RepliesBeards are really ugly though. And no one wants to kiss someone with a beard and get hair in their mouth.
-
5 RepliesThis is the future, unnecessary facial hair is a thing of the past, it has been evolved out of our species.

2 RepliesYou lost me at that ridiculous beginning of how 3 years ago u had this amazing trendy post Fn millennial

2 RepliesEdited by Socka: 9/7/2017 4:12:58 AMI saw the character creaton on youtube. The first thing I reacted to was actually "No beard for male!?" The male look so goofy without beard. And beeing able to customize it more specifically, binds the actuall character in a more personal perspective. Tbh, all human, including female, were not an option for me, I disliked them all. But I really want to have a human character, but the only good looking character, in my opinion, is the Awoken Female with no hair. Exo Male looks decent aswell, but Awoken is closer to "human". I find it sad that Bungie havn't made more customizations for the character creation to make the characters more personal to each induvidual player out there. [i]Sorry for my wonky english[/i].

Robobeards ftw!

I want to give my titan a neck beard
-
I agree. I thought I read that there were going to be beards but I guess not. Its a shame.
-
Extremely shoddy on bungle's part, beard styles and more hair styles would have added that extra personal touch, the touch that gets the player more involved with their character. For a 2017 game it's very basic in that regard, I hoped for tattoos and facial scars, sadly it remains one of the worst character creation elements in a game I've ever used.

1 ReplyThis is my one major complaint. We can't edit existing players. No haircut or removal of features? Love the game anyway but would really like to see some options for existing guardians
-
I would be happier if we could edit imported characters from D1, but, oh well.
-
It is.. its just lazy that its the same old system for character creation. And on top of that, they got rid of race default emotes, and locked the default emotes so even when you make a new character, you get the same emotes.
-
Bungie yet again continues the trend of being an RPG type game with shitty player customization. They better not offer further player customization as micro-transaction.
-
I think quite a few people here are missing the point.. This is a completely valid complaint about the character creation system. He is just using beards specifically to make his point. I agree.
-
They gave that sniper guy a beard just to troll us.
-
That's why I keep my helmet on always 😔
-
Xcom2 has better soldier customization than Destiny. :( And trust me, Xcom's customization is not that great.
-
1 ReplyBeards are on the advertisement. Let all sue them?
-
Agreed.
-
Only a hipster kale dealer would want beards so much...
-
beards ! for all guardians ! [spoiler]nerf fusion rifles[/spoiler]
