Player customization? | Forums

[Chris_]

Are we able to create a customized character in this game (gender, face, hair, skin color, clothing/gear)? Or do you play as the characters in the trailer? So many questions, but I'm loving the return of Ghost Recon. Cheers gents.

This is a big question for me as well (was actually about to post this EXACT same topic lol). I am really not digging the dude-bro-mercenary vibe of the Ghosts. As god-awful as the Ghosts looked in Future Soldier with their mismatched camo and dorky bandanas you could still squint and see some semblance of them being SF operators. I would REALLY hope there is some type of customization in play so you can actually make your character look like how the Ghosts used to look back in the day.

I'm really concerned on that front though because I don't want too much customization though. I don't want the dorkiness of the Rainbow Six Vegas games where people would intentionally make their characterss look stupid with mismatched gear and clown camo; not just making themselves irritating to look at but also breaking immersion as well. A slightly more limited Arma 3 like customization system would be a good fit.

Well, it will be pretty silly having Ghost operators running around in military gear hunting down drug cartel members, unless they mix in some joint ops with the Bolivian military for some drug raids or hostage rescue missions. I do agree that there does need to be a good level of customization since it is going open world and I'm confident that it will be. Basically, a military themed GTA game.

A solid dark camo will do me.

If they have atleast the same amount of customization as Rainbow Six Vegas, id be stoked.

a simple 5 point system would work nicely for me
#Head (helmets, hats, communications)
#Face (sunglasses, masks, baraclavas)
#Torso (Jackets, shirts Bdu with a limited choice of camo patterns that complement each area. [as much as i loved it in Vegas 2 keep the custom camo feature in rainbow6])
#Webbing/body (current and next gen body armour, classic webbing
#Legs (pants/trousers and boots in various options... shorts and flip flops for a laugh?)

posssibly with a optional rucksack/backpack and several pack designs to choose from

I see it as good for both the players AND the company
the players get a customisable player design that they can make their own user skin
the company can release new options, special throwback uniforms and the like as chargeable or free DLC

Pretty much this.

If there's a character customisation, i'd like to be able to use Belgian Jigsaw Camo ^^

The Ghost character designs make sense to me, given the premise. It'd be weird if they were running around in BDUs and helmets

I agree that decked out in tactical gear would not help with blending in, but we don't need anything over the top. Maybe just a few different backpacks or load bearing vests. Some different hats, scarves or masks and maybe a smaller helmet. And also thanks for putting that picture in, so many people saying "real SF don't dress like this!"
