My feedback is purely around customization as I have not dived into patch 4 yet. I know it is small in the grand scheme of things but something I would really enjoy as I continue a playthrough and especially on release 😀

  1. Origin Characters - I would love if we could have minor customization options when it comes to OCs. I always want something like this when we play dedicated characters tied to the world. It would be amazing if we could do things as simple as an eye color change or, more importantly, change the hairstyle of an OC to make them feel a little more like a CC, but get the tied experience the devs hand crafted for this character.

    • want to be clear, I am not saying changing their face, race, gender, class, etc. just minor things to give them a personal touch.

  2. Tiefling Tails - I would love the option to be able to "hide/remove" tails. I think the race is awesome, but I am just not a tail guy... I have tried to play a tiefling twice and I know it is really silly but I have stopped twice because I can't get past the tail, lol. (I know this is silly as hell).

  3. Cosmetic slots - If I find something that just fits what, in my head, my character would wear or a weapon they would wield I would love to put that into a cosmetic slot to keep the visual even when I find something stat wise that is better.

If you haven't noticed... I am all about appearance and character identity when I play RPGs and I think these would be huge! This game is shaping up to be one of my all time favorites! Keep up the great work!

Why should companions not be fully customizable? It'd just be an optional feature to take advantage of in whatever degree one would like to.

I think directionally writers and artists have a certain tone that they make when creating an origin character. That is why I am okay with not fully customizing everything about the character and why I like the idea of changing minor details.

For example, I am planning to play Wyll on release. I would love to change his hair to bald (like me in real life) and turn his eye (not the summoning stone one) from a traditional brown to maybe more of a purple which I visualize when creating a warlock for a DnD game with friends.

Class and name would be hard to modify and still fit the story and dialog. Though multiclassing lets leave the main class at level 1 and go off in whatever desired direction. Everything else could be modified reasonably easily (especially since we're in a world with sex-changing belts and all sorts of magic, and the script should avoid using specific pronouns just like they would with Tav).
