Guild Wars 2

I was playing around with the character creation editor the other day.

When I consider creating a new character I have some type of personality in mind (that’s usually the only RP-part I do in game, come up with a concept for the way a character shall look)

While the chracter creation editor is a versatile tool that allows a lot of variation in the characters that you create I am direly missing some options, namely around human races like, well, Humans and Norn. Specifically I’d like to have more variety when creating

• characters of different age; most characters, especially their faces, look like humans between 18 and somehwat around 40 years; I’d welcome to be able to create old men and women with more realisticly textured gray hair and more versatility in the creation of the faces

• characters of different … let’s say weight; not all of use are slim or athletic, I’d love to be able to create chubby or even corpulent characters

• characters with different posture; why not have a character with a tendencially sad expression that looks bowed down with sorrow?

What do you think? Do you tend to create strong heroes with more or less idealistic shape and appearance or would you – like me – be interested in having toons that may express different paths of life through their appearance?

A) I like the word ‘corpulent.’
B) A human female body without a thigh gap option would be nice. (Though my thick lady Norn’s butt sometimes clips through her armor so this might be more complicated than it feels.)

Want a heavy set character, play a norn. They definitely have fuller body types.

Given you can’t make many characters that look similar to many of the GW1 heroes, I agree. You should be able to make a character look a bit like Norgu, or Master of Whispers, or even Xandra or Pyre.

More variety is always a good thing.
