Xeno Biology VS Avatar Skin

[LynkxDev]

Ok here is an interesting point i was wondering,

All modern MMOs have a complex character appearance system able to create thousands of variations.

I believe DU will not let us down on this ... but...

 

Since this is a state-of-art of freedom sandbox MMO, I'd like to ask for the Devs:

Will players be able to create their own character race and appearance or upload 3D model?

 

 

Lets suppose i don't want to play a human or even a humanoid life form,
Since I am a big fan of CyFic want to play member of an advanced alien race that looks bizarre compared to a humanoid life form,

One with tentacles or many limbs or feet, or maybe and insectoid, a weirdo like Sebulba, or maybe a fluffy Ewok ....

(Just an illustrative image fond on google)

No. The Devs plan for a human only game. It's the story of rebuilding Terran civilisation.

I think I read somewhere "Player will create the Lore"

well i dont think the player will stuck on humans
I think they will add some humanoid "klingon like" atc ..

 

but i still prefer to play an totally different race, Humans SUX btw
and hope they implement a "mod system" where we can upload our own 3D models

Im only fighting for cat and fox tails and ears, and I feel like even that is an uphill battle.

The player will create the lore AFTER the game has started, NovaQuark has already written the lore for the time leading up to the arrival of the Arkship.

From the GrayStillPlays interview:

 

 

"Gray: Will there be other multiple playable races besides humans?

 

JC: No. It’s the story of mankind rebuilding civilization, as I said together on a new planet, so no."

I think the key point is, "It's the story of mankind rebuilding civilization". That pretty much clears up the question of whether or not we'll be able to play as non-humans.

I'd still expect the occasional xeno-fauna however, in terms of PvE. Aliens but not as PCs then.

oh well, maybe if the Mod API is versatile enough we can create some mods for alien races. Since Humans can have contact with them later !

Good luck getting mods into an MMO without any private servers

What does a pretty chill drum and bass band have to do with alien appearances?
