F.A.O BioWare - Character Appearance Change Incoming?

Full-appearance Changing, please. More expensive depending what Features specifically you're changing.

My Assassin, for example, I love, but would like to give him a larger Body, since he looks funny wearing skin-tight Robes. However, should I ever get to level 50 and get a cooler-looking robe, I'd probably switch back to Body 2.

My Guardian, on the other hand, I'd like to change almost everything *except* his Body.

Please, BioWare; let us have complete control over our characters' appearance!

Okay guys, great to see that this took off and I have to agree with many of you. I hope that this isnt a constant feature and a price tag on doing so is cool with me when it comes to changing faces and scars, eye colour and skin colour etc, but the hair and beards should be able to be changed for in game credits.

I think that BioWare could be making some money on this by throwing a $14 price tag on it. I hope the will notice what the community is asking for and get this feature in production.

I would love this feature too, and would even be happy to pay for it

Not paying money to alter or adjust my character. If I resubscribe I am already paying 15 a month. Fffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu that
Without me, it's just aweso.

This game desperately needs some sandbox elements. Repetitive grinding is not fun.

Just for the record, WoW didn't have this functionality until Wrath of the Lich King.

I too am looking forward to this addition, though. I also hope they add more hairstyles, etc.

I really hope BW treats it like an in-game service that costs just a few credits (like the WoW barbershop, but with a droid), NOT like a meta-game service, like changing servers or changing your name/race/etc.

Im confused... At launch, really? At the launch of a game you get all the character customization you want because you're making a new character ........ Are y'all really that ADD that you need to change it right at launch?!?!?!?! Wow, just wow.

Your words mean so much more to me and carry much more weight and authority because you used orange.

(Not really, but that's what you want us to think so I'm humoring you.)

Aside from that....yes, character appearance changes would be a nice feature.

I agree, that you should be able to change your appearance, especially if your current appearance creates graphical errors in the game.

For my sith Jugg, I chose the Sith face with the two pointy thingies on the chin. The problem is that when I put on the 'Malgus style' head-masks, the pointy chin sticks out through the mask.

I looks absolutely ridiculous and I can't stop looking at it going up and down every time my character talks from under the mask.

I am fully aware that I can just hide the head slot, but that isn't really a solution, If I could just remove those silly pointy things I would do it in an instant.

Lotro, Coh, Co, DCUO and WOW all have at least a barbershop - and sometimes much more.

I was actually pretty surprised it wasn't in there, tbh. It's just such a standard feature of MMO design nowadays.


Thing is, it's become even more of a feature here, where you look at your character so much, as others have stated.

All I want is to change the colour of one char's hair - and possibly lighten the skin tone of another.


This really should be simple to do, but for some reason, it's not.
