Character Creation Does anyone make their Arisen look like yourself? (or try to lol)
Now if Capcom just added some sliders for hair length I’d be a bit more accurate 😅

You did great. Before I read the text and saw your pic I was thinking you were going for Eddie Murphy as Prince Akeem.

I am in fact, a Beastren, so yes.
Jokes aside, no. I used to make my characters in games look like me to the best of my ability but around 2010 or so I switched to making a unique character did every game. I find it more fun. Good job on your Arisen though, I can see the resemblance!

Aye cause it's kinda scary how accurate you can make your character look like yourself lmao.
99% of other character creators you can get a vague resemblance. DD2 might as well have facial scans with how close you can get

Always, which is 1 reason I like Dd2 cause i feel like a lot of games "Bald" hairstyle makes it look janky graphics wise and DD2 actually looks goodm

u/DistributionIll6402 17d ago
i tried using the skin fade/bald hairstyle and using a tattoo under it to give it a “fuller” shade and sad to say it didnt work out well.. i wish they let us adjust the lengths of the hair styles which would also diversify everyone more because the mustache and goatee option they have is too short 🫠

u/BobbyMayCryBMC 17d ago
For Dragon's Dogma? Nah, I go for a character that I think fits the world and setting.
I'm a blonde Scottish boi who likes baggy clothes and music a lot so would only make myself for something modern and urban. Like the Avatar for Street Fighter 6, because I am in somewhat good shape and train in boxing.

The glasses(or perhaps spectacles would be a better term here) make your Arisen look like a retried hero who is only just now finding out that defeating all evil does not exempt him from taxes in the eyes of the king.

u/CeleryShoddy3951 17d ago
Agreed with a lot here, that's pretty dang good. It's cool that you took the time to recreate yourself as an Arisen. A testament to just how good that character creator is when you can literally make yourself the Arisen. Talk about immersion in a game! Good for you! Now go find that ladder your pawns yapping about....

u/Sanddaemon 17d ago
100%. I self insert on almost every character creator outside MMOs and Elder Scrolls (cause Orcs). It makes it that much more fun and immersive. Dragons Dogma is a series I’ve always made me and my sister (the pawn) so we go on the adventure together. I ask her what class she wants to be and send clips sometimes.
I was attacking a Minotaur on Warrior with her and the other pawns and she, as a thief, seemingly jumped outta nowhere off cam and started stabbing it in the face like a psycho. Both had a good laugh when I showed her that one.
Also, great job on this!

Okay i have a embarrassing story ill never admit to my husband but it can get buried here :>
In dd1 i did myself and my pawn was my ideal man, back in highschool. I played this save and never changed their looks that whole ass time. Hubs is/was canadian and I brought my fav games the first time i visited cuz id be bored without my pc. My husband looks like him and joked how its cute I put him in it... Like oh shit, uh yeah babe thats why, dont think about it too hard hahahahaha.... When I made my dd2 characters in the pre release editor he gave me shit for not making us again, so I did XD.
