Character customization is probably one of the most fun things players can do in a game.  During the showcasing of Starfield, Bethesda focused on the intricate character design features they have added to the game. Since then, players have spent hours on trying to make a character of their dreams, but only to meet unsatisfactory results.

The game offers a bunch of options to customize the character’s biometric ID, body, face, background, and traits. Each tool has multiple parameters to tweak their character according to the player’s choice. After spending many hours in character customization, players have started to come forward with their complaints regarding the system. One player went on to Reddit and shared how their character looked during the creation screen and compared it to how it turned out in the game, and the community was left in splits.

Frustrated players take things to the official Starfield Reddit page

Among all the posts on the Starfield subreddit, one post started gaining traction. A post about a gamer complaining about the character customization in the game received over 6k upvotes. In the post, the player uploaded a picture of their character in the creation mode compared to how it looked in the game. The post’s caption expressed the gamer’s frustration of “spending ages in character creation only for it to look terrible in-game.”

The picture shows how the character in the customization mode does not look anything like it does in the game. Many features like the eyes and even the face shape looked completely different.  The disappointed player’s post was received with empathy by the other gamers and it caught the attention of other players who are experiencing the same issue. Many players started to comment and mention that they were experiencing the same.

While some were serious comments, other players were just enjoying the awkwardness of the character’s looks. Although the character in the picture is a female character without any facial hair, some users were most fixated with how patchy the beards look in the customization mode compared to in the game.

Patchy Beards are driving players crazy

The comments section of the post started exploding as the community mostly felt the same way. Players are disappointed in how their characters are turning out after spending hours of work on them. One common thing that bothered most users was that beards ended up looking patchy during gameplay.

One user commented about using Temporal Anti-Aliasing which removed fine details like the beard when they looked at it from afar. They also mentioned that it gets worse with upscaling.

While players are not enjoying the character customization issues they are facing, Starfield is still selling like hotcakes. There is a strong chance the devs are working on this, and players can also install mods to fix some issues. That being said, it’s uncertain when these issues will be patched, but Starfield will remain one of the most anticipated and impressive games ever made.
