You can save your character to your hard-drive, but I found no way of importing this back into the character creator for further customisation. The wizard will give you the best older character base, but is obviously male.

You can go with most of these, although note the warrior woman is elven, and pointy ears aren’t customisable, and most come with different hair style choices from the ones I chose to play around with. Once in to the character creation side, you have a few base character type options. Sign in to your account, then be prepared for a large wait time with a black screen in front of you, before music and a game splash page comes up. Once you’re through that, however, the application on your desktop is very slow to load. For setup you will need to create a Black Desert account, in readiness for the actual game launch. It’s a large download of 6.22 GB, so took me an hour to download and setup.

Black Desert’s character creator gives you some good options for personalisation (although not clothing) and is free.

I used to enjoy creating facsimiles of my own characters via Second Life, but that’s an expensive option to do with monthly access fees, then purchases for skins, hairstyles etc. But they have just released their character creator as a free download. I personally spent over an hour creating the perfect Victoria Secret hottie in Black Desert Online and I have no regrets.If you have a lot of free gigabytes and bandwidth, and a lot of time to spare for downloads, you may find the newly released Black Desert character creator beneficial in creating a look-a-like for any fictional character under development.īlack Desert is a new multiplayer virtual online world game, yet to be released. I personally don't think character creation makes or breaks a game, but it can be incredibly fun fiddeling around on a game's character creation menu, especially when there are tons of sliders and customization options. Every MMORPG has a character creation menu with some customization, but some games take character creation a bit more seriously. Limited customization may not be a deal breaker for everyone, but I know many people who won't even play a game if classes are gender locked or if they can't customize their character in a certain way.

Being able to create a character that fits a specific persona can help players immerse themselves in the game. Character customization is an integral part of the MMORPG genre.
