Ok. My hopes for character creation improving have just gone down considerably. DOS 2 custom characters are... Ok... But they're not very diverse in body size, face choices, etc. Hmmm. I was under the assumption that because it's EA we'd get a LOT more choices later especially since we're going to get Half-Orc and such. Bigger body types, etc. Much needed. Now I'm concerned. I will say, at least Solasta and Pathfinder provide larger and smaller body types.
Another interesting thing about character creation... How come elves in DOS 2 look more like elves than BG3 elves? I mean, I will say, I was stunned to see that they looked more elvish because so many have pointed out that elves in BG3 are like humans with pointy ears. I thought that was odd.
Yeah, that's a huge problem in DOS2. IMO, custom characters are not viable in the personality or narrative department in DOS2. You almost HAVE to play an origin character, unless you really really want to play a custom character. There's no upside to playing custom character outside of it being a custom character.
The elf thing is weird. Larian knows what elves look like, but they are choosing humans with elf ears for BG3, even after the arguments over what elves look like on this forum, the fact that they made elves more like elves in previous games, and the fact that they are making a sequel to BG2, whose depiction of elves visually is more in line with DOS2 than with BG3 at this point.
Remember the human (This is a forum for a video game):
