Could you explain character customization? I know there are many that would like to know if we have near infinite options or if we are going to be limited to a preset amount.asked by Mr. J

TL;DRCharacter customization is expected to match a traditional MMO, with face morph targets, clothing, armor, eyewear and possibly tattoos (undecided), but not necessarily near-infinite options, and they're considering ways to prevent unrealistic faces.

Well I would say that we pretty much would have... our options are gonna be very similar to what you would have in a traditional MMO with a lot of customization. So we are definitely looking at changing the face up, having a combination of morph targets, and having different chins, and noses, and eyes, and foreheads and all that kind of stuff. We've been debating about how we can do a technique that can sort of prevent people from making, like obviously non-realistic-looking people. But in general I think it's gonna be inline with a lot of stuff that you would see in other MMOs, although we're hoping to try and do it in a more sort of in-fiction way that keeps you in the world. And then of course you can put all sorts of manner of different clothes on - so that's a huge amount of customization, in terms of just the clothes you wear, or the armor you're wearing, or the spacesuit you're wearing. Various different sort of eye-wear, 'cause we're gonna go with the augmented reality, so you can have the equivalent of Google Glass or even a contact lens, or sort of a monocle. Different hats, helmets, all the rest of the stuff. So I think there's a... you know... you will be able to be pretty customizable. We're even considering putting... sort of potentially allowing you to do some level of tattoos, although that's still not 100% been decided. But I would say that, I dunno whether you wanna say "near infinite" but definitely as many options as you would get on a traditional MMO. And we're gonna allow you to do some of this stuff obviously for your ships, which is gonna be pretty cool!
