I actually 100% agree with the OP and I don’t care if this topic was 6 months ago, it needs to be re-visited.
I have spent hundreds of dollars on appearance change potions over the last year HOPING to find SOMETHING that was at least slightly what they say you can obtain-your perfect pirate!
Everytime I pick something in the character creator it’s because I am just settling because I’m tired of searching for weeks or months and hours a day in the character creator for something that is somewhat attractive or cute looking.
Who are people to judge there weren’t innocent cute looking pirates that used that to their advantage and were total beasts lain in sheeps clothing?
Everytime I settle on that I think looks somewhat cute and decent however, in game they look over 50% different than what they looked like in the creator! Not to mention the weeks or months I would spend at a time looking for that one perfect pirate to suit me.
To me, my perfect pirate isn’t a barbie doll bombshell like a lot of people have complained about on this thread.
My perfect pirate is a dead eye, the other ashen, hazel, or green, a bobble head because extra large head on a smol body just looks super attractive and cute to me, tall-not short, really wide hips, exotic skin tone like greek, or thailand, or even a really sun baked tan, no teeth missing, young and either slim or a little thickness but not so that it looks like I’ve just been entroduced as sea worlds main attraction.
So far I have never found this combination of character other than ONE time but she was like a 80 year old woman and had several missing teeth, but all the other qualities I wanted, but I’m sorry if this game boasts you can create YOUR OWN perfect pirate, and I’m sorry a 80 year old gumbie isn’t MY perfect pirate.
For all the hundreds of $ I’m sure not only me but hundreds of other women AND men alike have spent buying character appearance potions and for allllll the waste of sooooo much of our time, you’d THINK Rare would throw us a few bones after over 3 years!
But they wont. If anything I think the people who are now in development have made the character creator even worse of a chance at finding anything remotely decent at all.
I have seen some pretty amazing bombshell female characters in game and have asked them how they got that, all of them say they were founders of the game when it first came out and spent less than 20 minutes in the character creator screen....
Also colors are different colored in the character creator selector now, like the barrels that used to be red, are now a washed out tan and yet you can still see what they used to look like by the red barrels that show in the background at the bar area.
Pretty sure the developers now tweaked with the creator settings so it’s near impossible to create anything decent looking at all anymore.
Nice job of wasting our time and money..
