Two Examples Of Dragon’s Dogma’s Customizable Characters

By Spencer . February 23, 2012 . 1:52pm

Dragon’s Dogma lets players create a character… whose heart is promptly ripped out by a dragon. Over on the Capcom blog director Hideaki Itsuno explained you can alter a character’s height by as much as 70cm (almost 2’4") so you can make a hero that’s really tall…

… or really small.

Dragon’s Dogma also lets players toggle how your character moves – masculine, feminine or "hunched over." Finally, there’s a game where I can create Mr. Burns as a dragon-slaying hero.

    “Finally, there’s a game where I can create Mr. Burns as a dragon-slaying hero.”
    *fingers crosses*
    Excellent.

    • godmars

       Bit awkward having an adventuring companion who might critically injure themselves by tripping over a rock.
      Or pulling out their sword – wait who am I kidding?

  • MrRobbyM

    Just recently saw a playthrough of the first hour or so of the game and I gotta say, while it doesn’t have a very vivid color palette, the gameplay does look very fun…and you can throw animals!

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NESLudfWkU&context=C3e127faADOEgsToPDskK1HVEUMLNTAjChye2OAkIl

    I think it should be renamed to Animal Abuse: The Game.

    • Crimson_Cloud

      And animals can throw you too. ^^
      Monster designs and large variety are some of the best I’ve seen in these types of games.

  • Haou_Yamata

    Is it just me or is that lady behind the character really creepy looking?  It looks like her eyes are rolling into the back of her head and…*shudder*

    • Exkaiser

      It looks odd on the thumbnail, but fine in the full view.

    • Testsubject909

      Maybe she’s got something hidden under her skirt and is preparing to ahegao.

      • Exkaiser

        Now, now, this is an all ages comment thread.

        Imagine what would happen if children learned about ahegaos!

    Why does white knight chronicles come to mind and make me cringe~?

    • MrRobbyM

      Probably the bottom screenshot. It reminds me of the hero from WKC.

  • Crimson_Cloud

    When I saw at one of the videos a character grabbing onto the harpy’s legs, who is trying to shake off her pursuer in-mid air, I knew this game is for me. It looks incredibly fun, can’t wait for this! Character Creation is a huge plus. 

  • badmoogle

    70cm is not considered “tall”. :p

    • https://www.facebook.com/tlee1027 Tommy Lee

      The difference between the maximum height and the minimum height is 70cm.

  • ludomancer

     Totes gonna be playing as a shota.

    • Neckbear

      Loli or bust.

      Hell yeah, loli magician! Finally a game that has listened to my pleas!

      • Testsubject909

        I choose a nice healthy bust.

        I like em. Then again I like all sizes to begin with and sometimes a nice DFC is good.

        • KOKAYI5

          what’s a DFC?

          • Exkaiser
          • Testsubject909

            Very accurate.

            Now paint it red and black and let’s see if Michael gets confused.

          • Testsubject909

            Assuming that you didn’t google it.

            DFC means Delicious Flat Chest.

  • Solomon_Kano

    Cool, I guess. Now let’s see if I can make Hitsugaya.

  • takopako

    awesome!!! XD

  • Göran Isacson

    … Is the hero in the bottom image a man or a woman? Can’t quite tell.

    At any rate, a game from Japan that lets us pick different ethnicities than white for our hero! What are the odds? The more I see of this admittedly very traditional-looking game, the more intrigued I get… possibly just because it’s monsters are so traditional. Hydras, griffons… just good old fashioned mythological beasts. No extra bells and whistles, just the good old classics.

    • shuratan

      Actually there have been tons of games from japan where we could change the skin tone to be ethnically different, from vampire pale to deep chocolate. But if one were to factor in facial structure and all that it’d be a different story…

      • Testsubject909

        Quite, the main problem with changing the skin tone in many of those games is that… It feels more like they took a bath in a pool of paint. Which feels weird.

        edit: To be specific, their appearances feels weird, not the bathing in a pool of paint. Though I’d imagine that would also feel weird, and would be quite dangerous to your health.

        I discourage anyone reading this from going off to take a bath in a pool full of paint.

        • KOKAYI5

          I agree, usually it’s a color thing. You can’t do much in terms of noses, libs or eye structure. Recently like the since 2006 they’ve given extensive freedom. That’s good for all us non-asian or white people, or asian or white people who wanna play a non-asian or white person.

        • Göran Isacson

          *Looks at the pool of paint in every color under the rainbow he’s painstakingly filled throughout the week* But… but… it cost me a fortune! how else am I going to convincingly cosplay as Rainbow Dash? YOU’RE TEAAARING ME APAHT, TESTSUBJECT909!

          • Testsubject909

            How’s your sex life?

            Oh hi doggy.

    • Testsubject909

      Personally, a game from Japan where a black man actually looks like a black man and not a recolored asian or white man? That to me is impressive.

      Nothing racist or anything, it is an honest observation of game customization and character creation. As well as an open praise to their attention to detail.

  • Barrit

    So how many people are making a loli?

    • Testsubject909

      You just want a clearer view of those breasts during the cutscenes don’t you?

  • theworldofnoboundries

    Ohhh so i can make a lol magician here? Shiruke here i come ^^.

  • Testsubject909

    Soooo, judging from these pictures…

    Making your character small means the camera’s focus is at the right height that you’d get a better view of that girl’s rack while also not obstructing your view of the girl as much.

    I see. I see. That’s very interesting, tell me more.

  • KOKAYI5

    With all the glitches in Kingdoms of Amalur I’m facing right now, I hope this game (which I’ll be renting and maybe buying) is great. 
    Other than Phantasy Star Universe and White Knight Chronicles you usually can’t make anything but adults. I’d love to make a kid character and have them save the world while leading a bunch of adults. And it’d be cool, cause with you in control you can make the kid a badass.

  • Raiu

    Finally a game that let me customize my character to look like a loli or shota… Now my interest in this game has just added another plus…

    I can’t remember the name of a MMO that has features similar like this… I’m pretty sure you can play as a loli…

    • Exkaiser

      Phantasy Star Universe/Portable had a very flexible character creator that allowed you to make lolis and shotas in addition to mature characters.

      • Raiu

         Really? What about Phantasy Star Portable 2??

        If there is, I must have missed it…

        • Exkaiser

          Portable 2′s got the same character creator. Check out the body size options.

  • leadintea

    Why the nigga gotta be the tall one? And have some jacked up ape lookin lips?

    • http://www.facebook.com/benjtan Benjamin Tan

       just like why sheva alomar wears a “traditional” african costume

      • Testsubject909

        So you’re saying the ape looking lips gets you horny?

        • Gatchaman1

           Sheva is hot dood. 

          I dunno whats up with you and black guys lips if thats how you roll I guess whatever…

          • Testsubject909

            I don’t think you read this line of comment appropriately.

            Look at Leadintea’s and Benjamin’s comment.

            Explaining the joke is never funny.

  • Learii

    so if you make your char small does that mean your char will look young or still the same  but just short?

  • ThunderGod_Cid

    Wow…..this is already leaps and bounds ahead of whatever BioWare can do Character Creater-wise(and gameplay-wise).

    I only have question.
    Is the protagonist fully-VA’ed like Hawke or Shepard or are we gonna get another doll-eyed mute?

  • SolNeko

    very nice, more reasons to pick up this game then
    but can i be a female? wait, let me rephrase that.
    CAN I BE A LOLI?

  • ShadowWolf

    Mr. Burns the Dragon Hunter………i just got a image of him with the Warrior Helmet from Skyrim, attempting to use a dragon shout, but failing and then coughing……i have a weird mind.

  • venomryu

    this look cool
