Can't find a decent online game with decent character creator

When I say online, it can be either MMO - Co-op - Multiplayer (PvP).

I've tried APB, but in the end I still find the game having huge problems like hit detection, and overrall lack of developpement because of a small and greedy team.

 

I tried Path of Exile which is a good game, but as you may know, you have 0 choices about your character (appearance).

 

Is there any game with decent graphics that let me create my character as I see fit? Diablo-esque game would be great but the majority just give you a standard character, often cliches and you're stuck with that. Hello blond paladin.

 

So far, I've tried :

Aion

APB

Age of Conan

The Secret World

Defiance

Dota2

League of Legends

Firefall

Path of Exile

Diablo 3

Saints Row 3/4.

Perfect World

Forsaken World

Champions Online

i would say Grand Theft Auto online but the creator is not the best, but plenty of options in terms of clothes, hair, tattoos etc

then theres the Ultimate character creator tho its technically not a game in the sense ur looking for, Second Life lol

Maybe give TERA a shot?

The only thing that sucks about its character creation, in my opinion, is the fact that you can't change the eye color...

 

I also think Rift has a decent character creation but I don't think it has the best gameplay in the world.

 

You certainly raised the bar with all those games you mentioned, specially Saints Row 3/4, Aion and APB, which have, in my opinion, a really good character customization.

They do have good character customization, but I found the gameplay boring after a short while (at least as far as APB is concerned), devs always come up with a new overpowered gun in the shop. So after I unfortunatly wasted a bit of money there, I'm just done lol.

 

In fact I just want to be able to create a character with dark skin + long black hair, but most games just go with the terrible cliches like blondies paladins and stuff.

 

I might try TERA, I've never really seen how the character creator really works nor the actual gameplay.

Just a heads up: you cannot customize the body shape but you can customize the skin tone.

 

P.S.: Totally forgot about Neverwinter. Although I don't like the game in general (pay to win, not truly open-world) and although it runs like s#it on my PC, it does have a good customization.

FF14 has a decent character creator and nice graphics but it's not all that fun to play in my opinion.

Try giving it a shot though, you might enjoy it.
I know a few people who do.

A Top 10 by FreeMMOStation:

haha I saw that video many times ^^

 

APB isn't good, unless you pay to win and gain up with many players against the other many pay to win many players.

Yea that's what I noticed after a while, when I bought a m4a1 rifle. Still, worst shop I've seen in every genre of game.

Have you tried Guild Wars 2?

Also, you could wait until Phantasy Star Online 2 becomes international.

 

Yes I have, even preordered a Deluxe edition, but I played as male Charr. Couldn't stand the invasion of blondes female humans/norns. I left last december because despite many threads about the lack of freedom on how you create your builds and how you are stuck with weapon skills presets, I just left. I hate to be forced to play something to be efficient. Game's really not good as Guild Wars 1. :(

 

The only MMO I'm waiting for may be Blade & Soul but even then I think they all don't bring anything new to the table, for the major part that is.

I LOVED apb back in "The Day" but now it's just a buy more guns cash shop game. I would also suggest TERA, it's a solid MMO and it has Elins!

You're right there, GW1's character editor may not be as good as GW2's same with its graphics but everything else is so much better.

 

I don't really have any recommendations for you other than Forsaken World.

Tera gameplay becomes stale after a while. For all it's flashy colors and twitch reflex based shit, it has the least depth I've ever seen in a game outside of CoD.

I want PSO 2 to come out already.... I played the Japanese version with an English patch for a while, but the english community was filled with not very fun people.

At least I learned some hiragana while I was at it.

Yep, GW1 is by far better than GW2. You can change the skills to what you want to play. And many other things, okey you can only wear one or a bit more/other weapons. But I still like to play GW1, because, if you finish something, then you know that you'll get a good reward for it like the whole  selection of the Elite armors or the legendary chests after some dungeons. Or the three different countries, men, that was as great as the underworld :P

 

Yes I play sometimes GW2, but only WvW or PvP, because I dont like the PvE's in that game and even the events cant hold me long. They're so boring. I hope it'll be better after the lvl 90 patch with new areas and lots of other new stuff.

They should release the Underworld, Elona and Cantha for GW2....

I think it lacks the incentive for the farming and finishing quests, because the reward is ever the same... nothing special. Its not worth to invest so much time in GW2

 

 

 

EDIT

Oh and did you tried Star Trek Online ? I know its old, but still good and the character creation there is really great. By far the best that I know.

And I tried more than other 30 MMO's.....

 

From Aion to Tera and further

I think I played almost every MMORPG

And lots of other games with an allegedly "good" character creation.

You could buy guns in APB? I thought you rented guns just like in every other mmo. Just paying real money meant you rented it longer by a few days. :P

 

 

Nail on the head.  APB is just another "pay-to-win" corporate greed machine. Yet the retarded masses still throw money at it. I gained great personal enjoyment from beating the hell out the pay-to-wins with their custom gear, while I used game money only. Then it got boring after a couple months of the same old cash-grinding. Being a lonely sniper is fun only for so long.

I'm not a fan of Star Trek but I'll check it out, it hasn't to be a MMO though, I'm especially looking for a "Diablo clone" without cartoony graphics like Torchlight 2. Yet, in the demo of Torchlight 2 you could change the skin/hair color of your character: it's exactly what I'm looking for but I can't get into it because it reminds me too much of WoW.. :(

I heard about Grim Dawn and devs saying they will add some hairstyles/faces/skin colors in a near future but it's the same thing for all Early Access games, promises and nothing more :P

Yea, I bought one and I regret it now. The game still has decent playerbase last time I checked but the business model is just trash.
