Variability of human shapes dependent on the attributes

Post by Flyrella »

Like high str makes the char's arms looking more muscular
Agi - longer and stronger legs
Con makes the height taller
Int makes the head larger
Per - larger eyes
Cha- idk, maybe smilier face
Dex - larger hands?
Will - maybe more stern look by moving brows closer to each other
Psy - Idk, maybe eyes glowing in the dark

As far as I recall, there was already a discussion about character size depending on stats but the response was that clothing wouldn't match characters and would have to be properly resized or something and that would looks like ugly or something. I'll try to link the post if I can find it in next 5 minutes.

I'd absolutely love for the player model to be flexible in various ways, be it customized as part of character creation or a reflection of values. If anything, I'd also like to have several different "base" player models that can be chosen between like choosing hairs, but as Jorb says, it's all a fairly big deal. It would probably not be overly difficult to implement technically, but getting everything to work together graphically is the challenge, like getting the different meshes that come from clothes to fit properly and not bleed into each other, and getting animations for character models of different sizes to fit equipment like roastspits or wine presses, and stuff like that. Not really sure how to solve that in a way that doesn't require manually crafted combinatorial resources.

tl;dr too much work.

More like, given the time that would be required for it, I think we have more important changes to make, and I think there's no dearth of people who would agree with that assessment. I would definitely enjoy working on it.

Given how little screenspace the character occupies, I have to question how meaningful this would be. With a different camera, maybe.
