10 Best Character Creators In Video Games

Widely known as having “the best character creation system of all time", Black Desert Online is a Korean MMORPG with skills and combo-based combat, but in what is essentially a gigantic sandbox.

The game features 17 different playable classes, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. Some are gender-locked, for example, Ninjas are always male, and Valkyries are female. Once you have decided which class suits you best, with these gender limitations and individual class strengths in mind, then you move onto the fun part: Customising your character’s face.

While there may only be a few predefined faces and hair styles available, Black Desert Online has a heavy emphasis on facial modification. With individual sliders customising the tiniest of facial details. The eyes alone hold hundreds of possibilities, colour, shape, size of pupils, eyelashes, make-up.

Once you are happy with the face and hair looks, you can then define your character’s build, with sliders to use to altering the size and shape of certain body parts.

I know what you’re thinking, right, boys? Giant ankles.
