Dragon Age Streamer Spent Almost A Whole Day Making Sure Her Rook Was A Smokeshow

Which is why it’s such a shame, on the other hand, there aren’t any “epic” default characters from the off in many of these games with character creators anymore…

Can I ask a serious question?

Why is this news on a video game website? There are countless "streamers" who play games. Why do we care that "one" of them spent all day making a character? This is quite possible the biggest waste of time by a writer. Someone was literally paid to write this non-news. And before someone says, oh, it just shows how deep the character creator is, that she took that long. BULLSH!T, You can spend all damn day on the Sims, Elder Scrolls, WWE games, etc. This is just a BS post and I wouldn't in the less bit, be surprised if EA had reached out to Gamespot and said hey, can you cover this and show your audience how deep our creator is??

As a 44 year old, life-long gamer, I truly miss "real" game journalism. I miss the days of EGM, GamePro, even the old school IGN. Today, if it's a slow news day, people will cover streamers like their opinions mean anything.

The creator doesnt tell you there are like 30 heads and the first part is blending 3 into a unique headshape. It is more difficult then it should be. Until I followed an online guide non of the facial animations worked properly. If your looking for a good female head I blended, 12,11 & 9.

I'm assuming I am blind or simply dumb, but does this article not provide a link to the stream (or at least what her character looks like)?

"Streamer Breebunn showed during this extremely long stream..." I kept looking for a link.

Every time I play a game with these in-depth character creators, I feel real ambitious going in and then start playing with the first two or three sliders for like five minutes, get antsy and just use a default model. Used a default dwarf in DA:VG.

Aside from picking a class and background, you can change character appearance anytime you want, including gender and voice. I went to the mirror and adjusted my character many times because he would start to look off in different lighting or scenarios. Spending 21 hours getting the appearance perfect is absurd when it's not a do or die thing. Only picking a background and class locks you in.

I’ll check it out when it goes on sale Black Friday.

How many characters do i get to customize & use in DA:V? Sounds like at least 2 from the story. Don't care enough to try to find it in the video, but I'm used to only being able to create & customize 1 main character in the RPGs I've played over my 39-ish years of gaming.

Well then she messed up.

Completely normal behaviour
