Dark Souls II Character Creation

Japanese Magazine Famitsurevealed today images and details of the upcoming game’s character creation.

Spoilers ahead!

Character creation presents four areas of customization that subdivide into further detail. As before, initial selection will determine the starting stat allocation and players will be able to select a starting Gift

Check out thewiki’s Gifts Page for more information

The player can determine the physical qualities of the character such as muscularity, and can create distinctive female and male forms or mix them up to create stronger-looking females or weaker-looking males.

Many new options for facial customization are available, with the most noticeable distinction of the addition of beards for male models and the availability of tatoos. Female and male characters have separate sets and attributes to chose from.

Beards!!!!! Woohooo!!! Now all i need is a hoody and beany for character customisation.

No master key, cool and heh at the petrified “something”.

No Mohawks?

Nohawks? I need mohawks!Why not Frohawks?

Tattoos? Custom?

I especially like that the hair styles shown in that picture capture two of the Three Stooges hair cuts. First build = Moe cosplay now

The guy above Moe seems to be a Grease throwback or an attempt at Dolph Ziegler.

Maybe it’s Jerry Only! He’d start with leather armor and an ax

If I could play as Jerry Only then I’d play as Doyle!

Or play as Glenn Danzig which unlocks the Gren character model size

Tats!! For both gender choices!?!? Please say this be true! 😀

Finally getting really hyped about dks 2.

Come onnn gandalf beards

More physical feature customization, eh? This ought to help cosplaying tenfold for the Cult of Friendship.

Oh hell yes. Looking forward to spending more time at the character customization screen now. 😀

Where’s the pimp suit and cane option?

Beside the screen for nipple ring customization

Yes for Character Creation! nice physic options but it needs more hairstyles, dig the beard optimization. And what about that first pic.? a hint for scars/marks/face paint options? really cool stuff, i’m so hyped!

Ewwww….this is almost a step backwards from Dark Souls if these are all the hair male characters can have.Where is my clean gentleman cut and curly moustache!?

But tattoos end of story

I spend hours looking at this screen each time I make a build. Truth be told, I was hoping they would take a few inspirations from dragon’s dogma customization. As long as there aren’t any “unfixable” facial features like your nose in Demons Souls, it looks like I’ll be satisfied.

So far so good. Sounds like DkS2 will be an amazing game for more reasons than just storyline and pvp ^^

Petrified Something? I hope it is not another Pendant!

hype intensifies

that “true seed of the forest of the giant” looks interesting, I think I’ll get that. As for the character creation, it’s definitely a step up from the past creation system it looks great and most importantly, BEARDS!!!

It seems to me that Wanderers dual wield immediately… more the reason to pick it besides looking so fabulously

Reading that again, it seems truly unbelieveable that they managed to actually make the char editor even worse than in DKS1.

But now we can have pink mustaches! And fluorescent hair colors!! What more could you ask for?(Maybe a less confusing layout for face customization, but still. PINK MUSTACHES)

I was so disappointed with some choices (hair styles, beards and staches) that I took far less time in character creation than normal.

Yeah. I just slapped on florescents and left. Was pretty disappointed that that was all after I reached the end. A bit of a, “Wait, what? That’s it?”

No Mohawks?

Beards!!!!! Woohooo!!! Now all i need is a hoody and beany for character customisation.

No master key, cool and heh at the petrified “something”.
