More character customization, Atributes dictate appearance

Postby XBBW » Mon Dec 01, 2025 7:08 pm

Please Jorb and Loftar let our characters change appearance depending on highest Base Atribute. For example 1 out of 9, let's say Strength is at 90, while the reast are at 10, then our character would have six pack and more visible muscles on legs and arms, heck why not muscular back too both male and female, but if all other 8 base atributes are raised to 90 to match Strength stat, then the character looks again same as now.
So in short if all of base atributes are aligned either 10, 100 or 1000, character looks the same, but if one is at extreme difference like prevous example then that would dictate how our character looks. So muscles/muscular for high strength, really skinny/slimer for agility and so on (honestly can't think of what would be the main feature body wise for other 7, maybe big anime eyes for perception, and big head for intelligence and maybe become thiccer/plumper for charisma or like super good looking so get them art skils going Jorb).
Yay or nay, what you think everyone?

I think it'd be really funny if I could make a character that got super fat like a bowling ball if I minmaxed constitution.
But let's be real:

The second this is implemented there will be a custom client feature to estimate the targets constitution based on the known variables (you can determine their strength based on their KITO hits, agi based on agi Delta) and with a little algebra they'll simply be executed by a fat cleave.

My desire to live my super fat hearthling life probably isn't worth that outcome.

On stream, Jorb once said he wouldn’t make any changes to the character models because too many systems depend on them and many things would get messed up in the process. That’s why your character still sleeps with their eyes open.

I think he was talking about model geometry. You can replace textures without any issues even by yourself. So closed eyes should not be a problem.

most importantly, top 100 players by pvp stats, should become fat and automatically gain unequippable fedora hat
