aldlv13 Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 (edited) i wish we could get a helmetless appearance feature.... let me clarify i would like to have an in depth character face creation option that removes the helmet allowing each tenno to be what their player wants and making each ember different from any other. and it should be completely optional also wouldnt mind more frame customizations in general Edited March 20, 2014 by aldlv13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luminati07 Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 I'm against this 100%. Like I said in another thread, the last thing we need is another Tali'Zorah situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IANOBW Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 This would crush the immersiveness of the game. Also, I don't know about you but I would rather have my helmet on when I get shot in the face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrotherIcarus Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 I prefer not to have it. @nugget i dont get the reference explain please? Well people wanted to see the face of Tali a mass effect character and well they did not like it when they were shown it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vargras Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 @nugget i dont get the reference explain please? Tali'zorah was a character in the Mass Effect series who had a helmet on for almost the entire series, and as a result, had much of her face obscured. The only things you could see were eyes and a nose. Not surprisingly, this resulted in people building up expectations of what she might look like, and everyone came up with their own versions. Then she was more or less unmasked in Mass Effect 3 if you romanced her, it was pretty meh, and all the fan ideas were crushed. It wasn't pretty.

Katakuna Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 (edited) i dont get the reference explain please? Tali'Zorah Nar Rayya is a character in the Mass Effect trilogy. She always wore a helmet that concealed her face. Her fans wanted Bioware to show her face. In the third ME game, they certainly did show her face: a @(*()$ photoshop'd stock image from a stock website. It was lazy, uninspired, and insulting to more than a few, I'm sure. It would have been better if they just didn't even bother. The Tenno would be a similar situation. Ninja'd three times over, pff.

I think the point was more to do with instead of her face being revealed they gave us a picture of a woman that was photoshopped from google images, placed inside a frame. I was ridiculously trolly. edit: Tenno'd Edited March 20, 2014 by IANOBW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firetempest Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 this is why i put the word "OPTION" in the description not mandatory Missed the point. It becomes DE canon and all preconceived notions are no longer valid. You cant take it back saying, oh thats just a option and DEs interpretation. Its like giving a silent protagonist a voice. Its no longer "you". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katakuna Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 i have faith in the de i think they could pull it off I'm not so sure, but it would nevertheless be a much safer approach to go the Master Chief route and have them remain faceless forever.

BrotherIcarus Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 (edited) i wish we could get a helmetless appearance feature.... Just look at other great titles Halo for example you are never shown the Chiefs face and all in all he has very little character but this is good as it allows the player to impart themselves onto the character much easier, Someone can see him as a hero hungry for glory whilst someone else can see him as just a soldier fighting for survival whilst others can see him for something different. It is the same in warframe and many other games. Edited March 20, 2014 by BrotherIcarus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nefrai Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 No, it should not be an option. I don't think we should ever see what they really look like. We don't even know if they appear human or not, and that's the point - you project your own thought of what they should look like. I loved they never showed Mast Chief's face in the first game or so, because it leaves him a blank slate. Looking at some like Mag, I don't think they would look human in the first place (forget all the fan art stuff you've seen, it's just fan art). Just look at Mag's shoes...those aint human feet, lol.

You cant take it back saying, oh thats just a option and DEs interpretation. Its like giving a silent protagonist a voice. Its no longer "you". what if they were to allow you to customize facial features/hair/eye color and so on? no loss of immersion since you could still design your tenno to be "you" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babellon Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 I'd have to agree with the master chief ideal....faceless..always. We are the faceless assassins, carrying out the dark deeds. we have no identity, we are tenno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
