I just read a bloggers report on the Dragon’s Dogma demo and he said that the Character Creation system “isn’t as good as Skyrim, but still pretty great”. Are you high? Do you have a different version of the Skyrim character system than the rest of us? I mean, I love me some Skyrim (I run a Skyrim blog for fuck’s sake) but the Dragon’s Dogma editor is LEAPS AND BOUNDS better. No, you cannot change class and be a giant cat-person (so?) but you do get to change your HEIGHT, WEIGHT, MUSCLE DEFINITION, BREAST SIZE, along with the tons of options Skyrim offers. You also get to add SCARS, CLOSED or HALF-CLOSED EYES, and DIFFERENT COLORED EYES. Not to mention you can add the pointed elven type ears if you want to. Granted I found the makeup colors to do absolutely shit for you, and the warpaint options are minimal, but the rest of the choices far than make up for that.
The level of customization in this game should be standard for any RPG, especially an open-world one. Everyone else needs to realize this revolution and jump on board. I’m tired of games with this level of awesome character creation being few and far between.
