Klingon Customization

Klingon Customization (Fed members need not apply :) )

Ok here is a question for my fellow Klingon warriors.

When it comes to character customization/creation how do you want to see our glorious cranial ridges handled.

A) A self customization type system where you can customize the shape, pattern and definition of our ridges.

B) A system where you can choose from a set choose of patterns. Like how many games do with hair styles. A choice of 4 or 5 patterns with customization instead going into other features (body, hair, shape, size).

C) One cranial ridge design with detail going into body/face/hair/shape/size instead.




I am of the opinion that we should have/hope for (A) as cranial ridges are as defined and variable as human fingerprints and would also be our main customizable feature when it comes to facial construction followed by a hair design as a close second.

If Cryptic does go with the approach of (A) how would you hope to be able to customize your ridges? I shape morphing ability with a dialable feature or as advanced as some, as yet designed, mouse over feature that builds ridges following the cursor (mouse) movement.

I'd expect a mix of A and B, knowing Cryptic's history with player-avatar customisation.

Especially as they have a "Create your own race" feature planned, so wort case, take the Klingon as base stock, then tweak it hither, thither, and yon as your whims dictate, until you're satisfied with the look of the character.

I think they need to give us a LOT more facial hair options too..

More Customization more better :D all 3 options I want lol

The House of K.Mpok has always been an honored one, but so help me the first time a female Klingon turns to me and says "do these ridges make my butt look big?" I'm blaming you K.Mpok!

:D

I want a mix of B and C. One thing I liked about Klingons from TNG forward, was there seemed to be a very coherent look. While ridges did vary, they didn't vary drastically, it was far more facial and body features that made the Klingons individuals.

You can send them my way if you must. :)

Personally I think more customization is better. And keep plenty of presets and a randomizer for people who don't care about it.

As for Klingon specifics, there should be a slider for how rotten the teeth are. And perhaps the ability to pick how many are left.

Hmm, it is known that the more prominent the ridge, the more distinguishable you are among other Klingons. So now I imagine we'll see many young bloods running around saying, "my ridge is bigger than your ridge"!

/facepalm

Will there be a feature where Klingons can duel in a melee should we want to do a "Circle of Equals" type of fight for honor??? And the outcome is recorded and posted for all to see!?!?!

[maserati813]

we should have different hair options like mohawks,dreadlocks,bald etc.

I agree.

Well, except, I'd change Pax's "wort case" and change it to "worst case". 'Cause I don't want worty Klingons. :D

[Curleyjason]

I think a mix of A & B (like others have said before me) ANd I also am in favor of many hair options.

But I also want eye patches and face scars. I personaly think I would have been a bit of a smart *** when in the lower ranks and have to have been put in my place.

[Reinkaos]

It's all about the beards and eyebrows.

[Trekkie]

Although my main character will not be a member of the Klingon Empire, I am going to go ahead and say that I would like the option with the most customization. I think that the developers will most likely go for the first or second option, or perhaps some combination of both.

[ajaco3025]

Yes, mohawks and dreadlocks make for good signals to open fire. I tell that to my daughter too.

EDIT: Oh and the earrings, tattoos, and baggy pants.

:D

the only possible response to that question is "yes". then you hit her and she hits you back and fade to black with moans and breaking bones etc.....


did that rhyme? or am i just drunk?




i think that every klingon in all the shows has had different ridges so there should, in theory, be no two players with the exact same features, i also liked the option of different hair options.

I hope it is A & B. I want the works for making my character, from forehead ridges to, beard , scars, to hair style (Chang was bald, Worf had a braid etc.)

For the way it is customizable I would prefer a shape morphing bar to set the height, width, number of ridges. I'm not the best mouse artist so mouseover drawing would be a little too much for me.
