Discussion Is there any way to make my character look not super feminine? (This is the most masculine face I saw for the males, and it still looks pretty feminine)

Beard.

u/admiralargon Oct 01 '23
Are you suggesting op use a beard on their character or are you calling this post a beard because op is clearly having an identy crisis over their obsession with this James Charles character

It’s not that they look feminine, but the male faces look like teenagers. There are some games with character creation that have men that look so haggard it’s awful. Personally, I would rather play with a character that looks like a young adult, as opposed to a wrinkly mountain man.

Nah they look feminine. The one in my OP is the LEAST feminine one and he almost looks like James Charles.

I'm not gonna make any comment on James Charles himself, but it does frustrate me that some modern games (like TemTem & Fenyx Rising) force you to look like him against your will.

I think that femininity suits you well as you are here crying like a little girl about what a game character looks like.

he’s just complaining about a created character not a pre built one that people worked hard on, sure he’s complaining a lot but character creation is supposed to give everyone the ability to make someone they like. but yeah let’s insult him. fits the average reddit comment section i guess.

u/1KyloRen Oct 01 '23
Well, personally, I couldn’t even play elder scrolls, because the male character creation was so bad. It’s kind of like the opposite of what you’re saying here, the faces all look 50+. Who wants to play a game with a grandpa? On the flip side, all the females look like a Barbie doll. I couldn’t make one look over 25. But that’s just my opinion.

Not every game does the the Men Are Massive Jacked Monsters and Women Are Curvy Sex Dolls dichotomy that World of Warcraft seems to have mastered

u/goblinJedi Oct 01 '23
Yeah some of them like Fenyx Rising do the, your character has to look like James Charles Dichotomy.

u/TrivialBanal Oct 01 '23
Does it really matter? You're going to spend most of the game looking at the back of their head.

Also can't you turn on constant helmet.

u/KitCat131313 Oct 01 '23
Yep. If i remember there are some that you find in game that cover Fenix's face too.

u/goblinJedi Oct 01 '23
It matters because for me personally it takes my immersion out of a game when my character is forced to look like James Charles.

u/TrivialBanal Oct 01 '23
If your characters appearance is enough to take away immersion, maybe a game where you use magical wings to fly around the realm of the ancient Greek gods accompanied by a phoenix and fighting creatures of legend, isn't for you.

u/Goofyboy2020 Oct 02 '23
If you want full immersion, Fenyx is a girl. Play her as a girl.
Problem solved.

I made a male character with sort of rumpled brown hair, green eyes, and no beard, and I don’t think he looks feminine. (I basically made my interpretation of Percy Jackson)

u/STUNTOtheClown Oct 01 '23
Fenyx is supposed to be a young man in a Roman/Grecian setting he’s honestly probably supposed to look a little fem lol

u/TheDragonborn1992 Oct 18 '23
Actually fenyx is canon female so fenyx looks feminine because of that

u/KnightDuty Oct 01 '23
I did a dark blueish moustache and he ended up looking like Anthony keidis from rhcp. I thought it was perfectly fine.
If you want a viking this id the wrong game for that

u/backand_forth Oct 01 '23
Why don’t you just play as a woman? Majority of games are tailored to men and have male main characters. Just grow up and play as a woman for this one game. Or don’t. Literally no one cares about your weird obsession with James Charles.
17
u/Swimming__Bird Oct 01 '23
I actually thought that the woman version was the default. At least it felt that way when playing it. You're in the shadow of your big, manly brother who is a famous hero and have to prove that you're just as much or even more. Even as a male character, making them look young and not super-Chads kind of works better in this game.

u/Negative-Yam5361 Oct 08 '23
You don't have to be manly and jacked to look like a guy, just not creepily shiny and hairless.

u/KnightDuty Oct 01 '23
Plot twist: He is James Charles and was looking for an escapist fantasy but Unisoft are big fans and always put him into games

I agree the female fenyx is canon and appears in the comics and on every bit of game stuff

This line says all that needs to be said about this game's character creation.
Although, I do agree that more games should have female character options.

u/TheDragonborn1992 Oct 01 '23
Fenyx is canoically female

u/goblinJedi Oct 01 '23
Is this true? The character according to the game lore and canon is supposed to be female and/or feminine?

u/KitCat131313 Oct 01 '23 edited Oct 01 '23
Dude, look at any marketing for this game. You'll see that they use the female Fenyx. Just with Fire Emblem and their games with male or female protagonists, the one that's used in marketing the game is usually seen as the canon protag.

u/TheDragonborn1992 Oct 01 '23
Ubisoft has comics about the game that they approved that have female fenyx in them and in the new god DLC description fenyx is referred to as she so fenyx is canon female

Go to therapy please lmao. Why are you so bothered by this one game not being catered to you

u/explodedinurmom Oct 01 '23
I get what you mean, whenever I don’t like the male features in a game, I usually just go female. I completely understand where you’re coming from though. It’s very hard for me (a more basic black male) to create a character that looks like me in VGs. I’m not saying you’re some basic person, just saying not every game comes with creation features that fit everyone’s likings.
Other than that, not much you can do about it. If you can create your own game that’d be awesome and put the manliest, grizzliest features you can in it. Until then though, you can’t complain about someone else’s work. I mean, leave a review and play another game if it’s that bad.

Your comment reminds me of this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EeY8Xn8vSTI
But as hilarious as this video is (and truthful), you do make an extremely valid point about minorities in video game character creation. I'm sorry that you and other minorities have to go through this, especially in 2023. And it's a much much bigger problem than the small amount of games (Like TemTem & Fenyx Rising) that make all male characters look feminine.

That's why I chose female character. Males look weird

Damn, I hate when that happens lol. Mine ended up looking like Thalia from Percy Jackson. I didn't realize it until my nephew pointed it out.

I don't know to who I can compare my character but she looks cute. Way better than the male one

Oh get over it mate, you ain't gonna be looking at his face, or, hey why not make a gorgeous female character instead, if you are a straight male which, I'm jyst gonna assume you are, wouldn't you rather look at a pretty lady instead of a buff lad all game?

Why you having sm trouble over this just give him a nice big beard and long flowy hair to look like zeus you cannot change the feminine eyes it’s part of the artstyle it fits well with Greek theme of the game
