But at least Secret World you can mask it with some fancy garments from the cash shop of course
I wonder if there’s a study out there on “ugly” characters and length of play time. If there’s a correlation, then I can understand where GW2 is coming from. Either way, I don’t know what Secret World is thinking…
@Ocho – There was some talk from Blizzard back with Burning Crusade that part of the reason they needed Blood Elves on the horde side was so that the horde would have a “pretty” race. People for whom that mattered were only going alliance and it was causing a population imbalance. Or so I recall. [citation needed]
I was thinking this very thing this morning, Syp, haha; I feel like every character I was able to make in TSW looked like either a member of Nirvana or Savage Garden. What an odd range that was.
I tried, I mean -really- tried to make a character that I could deal with looking at but I just can’t. I know its shallow, vain, and whatever else you want to call it but I don’t care. If I can’t create a character I can connect with then I just can’t play the game.
To be fair, Asura aren’t exactly the prettiest race around. Cute in an unsettling and horrifying sort of way, sure, but attractive?

Hmm, I was pretty happy with the looks of my character in TSW. I did not try to make a female character though.
I was pretty happy with both of my 2 females (and OMG, I could dress them sensibly. *hearts*)
I liked my urban girl (sneakers, jeans, hootie, earrings) actually a lot more than most of the GW2 characters and outfits. Even her face (although Funcom has work to do here) was good looking. So with a bit more polish, I think, TSW did an excellent job. But I liked my characters in Fallen Earth as well, so I might not be really representative.
Blech, yeah, TSW female faces are bloody terrible. I’ll need a mask or something
