Creative freedom: Character creation in Path of Exiles 2

It would be great if they added a small character customization editor and have the freedom to choose between male or female for each class, race, religion, age, height, physique, hairstyle, beard, color, voice, crimes of exile, etc. Similar to the character editor of Dragon's Dogma, Dark Souls 3, Conan Exiles or Torchlight 2, this way we would make our characters unique and give it greater depth, which personally would identify me more with my character and encourage me to invest more money in him.

It is monotonous and boring to always play with the same character stereotypes, I cannot identify with any character, I would rather be able to create my own character and take him to glory in the game...

For example, I would like to be able to play with a Templar who is not a bald old man, a male Warlock, a male Scion and a male Hunter, I don't identify myself playing with female characters...

Thanks

lol sure on april fools day maybe

It's not in the game because ggg thought creating models unique to each class would be far better than using scaling tricks, thus having the least amount of options became necessary due to the amount of work required.

I've heard they are revamping it for patch 4.0 (poe2) though

That's right, but that was when they were a small indie company with few resources, now they are a large company with many resources and if their idea is that you spend a lot of time playing they should give players creative freedom to create their own unique characters and not use stereotypes that in the long run bores everyone using the same characters, you can't identify with your character, for example, I like to play with the Templar, but the only possibility is to be a decrepit bald old man or wants to be a hunter or a warlock, but the only option is to be a witch or a hunter female, which I will never use because they do not identify me, I hope that one day they will give us the possibility to create our own characters, if you look at the editor of Dragon Dogma it is excellent, it has many customization options and it has its years, it is from 2013, it would suit the path of exiles very well, it would be great to have an editor like this ...

hope is the last thing you lose, never say never, GGG is an example of realizing an impossible dream ...

Lol who needs that? It was always one of the most useless things in HnS where after 5minutes you equip tons of armors and you can't see a character anymore. I hope GGG will spend their time on something more important than this.

Lol many players need that

Playing a char that looks ugly doesnt feel like to plat it at all

At least needs to make nice character models, what we have now is awful

When I choose what class to play in any rpg is always depends whos model I like more

I've never made any build with a Templar and not gonna make ever cuz looking at him makes me sick, hes only good to be a mule for me

It is not useless to have the freedom to create a character, your vision of the game is practically to use a character ball that fires rays after 5 minutes, instead there are people like me who like to enjoy the game, we investigate and go through all the maps, I've been playing for a while and I still see my character horrible copy of any other, there is nothing wrong with adding an editor for the most creative players, surely you are one of those players who copy builds and guides from youtubers, to level up quickly You do not discover things by yourself, you only copy guides from others, you do not care about the story or the lore of the game, you do not enjoy it at all, but as I tell you, there are people like me who if we like to take the time to discover All the content on our own and it is important to be able to create our own character that differentiates us from the rest ...

i doubt they will add something like that,while it probably started with saving money the most recent standpoint was:

that you are play a specific charr THE witch etc,they have a set background story and you can hear bits of it during the campaign

while i personaly dont care if it gets added or not,using this as resoning is fine.

its like wanting to change how "geralt of rivia" looks in the witcher games

I think that for a company as large as GGG, changing a THE article for one that covers both female and male, or simply omitting that, would not be an impossible task to do, I think that customization and the creation of your own characters would open a huge range of different possibilities, where we would see a great variety of characters created by the community, which would encourage the arrival of more creative players, the community would expand much more, investing more time and money in their unique characters, that is winning and winning for everyone . I think GGG should also focus on creative players who research and enjoy the lore of the game instead of focusing so much on HnS players from youtube guides...

And the comparison you make with The Witcher is terrible, since that game has a main character which the story is completely based on, on the other hand, the PoE characters seem rather generic ...
