"title": "NO Character Customization",
"selftext": "Hi, I have not seen many people talk about it so just in case. I had a confirmation from the dev team while playtesting the game last week : we won't be getting character customization. We pretty much knew at that point but here you go. (sorry if it was already confirmed \\^\\^)\n\n\" LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga does not have character customization. Although there are more than 300 playable characters from across the galaxy. There are also a range of character classes, including Jedi, Hero, Dark Side, Villain, Scavenger, Scoundrel, Bounty Hunter, Astromech Droid, and Protocol Droid. Kyber Bricks allow players to unlock new features and upgrade abilities. \"\n\nI get that making 422 characters is reallllly long even in 2022 (modeling, rigging, animation, vfx coding etc) + after that making a full character customization based on all those characters would take a f\\*cked tone of time and effort, but I do understand the disappointment. No idea if this could be something they add at a later date..?\n\nI talk about it here (it's in French tho \\^\\^ so if there's any baguette men/women out there here you go) : [https://youtu.be/qQrFNym2mnk](https://youtu.be/qQrFNym2mnk)",

{
"body": "Yeah, character customization is much more important than mumble mode (Especially given that mumble mode only swaps out the dialogue for mumbles rather than actually adjusting the cutscenes in any way). I’m a bit disappointed in the omission of customization. I’ll still get the game, but character customization will be sorely missed.",
"replies": [
{
"body": "I always kinda doubted that a mumble mode would please the mumble lovers, just because the cutscenes are clearly still going to be directed in a way that is built for spoken dialogue. They’re longer, and the humor is different, so just making the lines mumbles wouldn’t really make it feel like the old games.",

Legally they have no obligation to correct statements said in interviews, just to be clear, false advertising only applies to what's on the back of the box. An interview from 2 years ago is not sufficient for false advertising. Yes, they probably didn't confirm it sooner in a big public statement because why would you say something's NOT in the game when you don't have to. As far as I know most people have just been hoping for it and nothing else. Obviously they would wait until the last minute to answer this question, how can you possibly be mad about that?\n\nSecond, the developers for this game were unfortunately mistreated. They didn't just \"work hard,\" they had major crunch periods that were mandatory if they wanted to keep their job. Please actually research this. TT Games have a lot more to answer for than your missing character creator. I'd say, if you're not going to buy the game because of this then just don't buy it, no sense in crying over spilt milk."

Back in the 2000s TT didnt give a shit about turning lightsaber wielding custom characters into specifically animated models. You held a lightsaber in that game and youd have the animations of ben kenobi period. It doesnt need to include the parts of unusual figurines like babu frik or salacious crumb, just the ordinary ordinary legs torso head and maybe hats and capes. They even had kaminoan heads in the mix back in the complete saga. How hard compared to everything else can it be just to program a fucking mechanic that does that?! Its been in every fucking lego game since then and those characters did have inhuman amounts of variety animation and abilities mixed in. Doesnt take away from the core experience, but by GOD. Video game devs are struggling even after the pandemic to get these things done right and by the book and it just pisses me off. Its a goddamn part mixer, not a lighting engine",

The story characters are create but Lego Star Wars was about combining customisable features with the Star Wars universe. The hours I spent as a child playing as a Sith using black robes and a Jawa head in the complete saga. The features they have added are great but I would happily lose 50 of the insignificant characters they have added to have character creator back.if they add it later then fair enough but if that was a plan I feel like they would have left the door more open. Such a shame.",
