10 Most Useless Character Customisations Found In A Video Game
9. Dark Souls
Fans have often joked that Dark Souls' real first boss is actually the character creator, as everyone was rather painfully reminded of with the recent release of Dark Souls: Remastered.
A big part of the problem is that even in its shiny new version, none of the people you make in Dark Souls' character creator much resemble actual human beings.
The faces are, to be kind, hideous, largely due to the game's off-key lightning making it impossible to create an appealing-looking person.
And so, you're really better off leaning into the jank and creating the most stomach-churning abomination your imagination can conjure.
There are other issues, though: the sliders are fiddly and annoying to use, and the game's pathetic excuse for a beard option is nothing more than a faint speckling of light stubble.
All in all, you can spend way too long making a character that still looks like a dog's dinner. At least things got mildly better for the sequels...
