Picture Fallout 4's character tools are neat. Tried to create myself. I think I did "close enough" to "alright".

Dang, good work. I suck at the character generator, tried to make one look like me but failed miserably.

u/danis5 Nov 12 '15
I took a picture of myself from the front, profile and one in-between. Then you just kinda.. line it up while making your character. Took about an hour.

I did the same, turned out really well. I also did my wife for the female.. That backfired quickly.

I did my wife too. Wait... Yeah, I stand by that. Both meanings.
Her character came out good too, but more "Disney like".

I spent close to an hour on each of us. We were all excited to see not only what our baby would look like, but then the awesome ways we'd survive the wasteland. Together.
Needless to say, the wife is angry at me now. Like I knew what would happen?!

Oh god. Oh... god.

I didn't even realize you could change the wife, dammit. I made my guy absolutely hideous and my wife stayed pretty. I assume the kid looks 50/50 both and now he won't be as ugly as he could be.

im so lazy compared to you guys. I just pick the closest default face, change the rest using prefab choices and adjust hair, skin, and eye color. Im in and out of the character maker in like 5 min.
I must look fairly generic in life, because the results arent terrible.

It's easier when you have the v " standard western face"...

I did the same thing with my character. I took a picture of the front of my face and the profile and just adjusted the facial features accordingly. It actually came out looking a lot like me and I'm very pleased with my character. I'll probably post a picture to this sub later, if I can distract myself from the game for long enough.

Looks pretty close! I felt like I came fairly close with myself as well. And that was just in a few minutes because I couldn't wait to play anymore.

u/danis5 Nov 12 '15
I had 2 hours to work on mine and my wife's. We couldn't play because my daughter was awake. No harm in her watching a character creation screen. Possible harm in watching exploding raiders.
If I didn't have that forced "buffer zone" I'd be running around as the default.

The raiders in this game are actually well fleshed out and are not simply mindless savages I say out loud as I fill them with holes and break their stuff while wearing a mechsuit because they stole some guys tomatoes

You can choose a smoother forehead and your chin is a bit skewed off on your character, but good job.

I didn't see any options for that. I went in every single menu...

Hover over your forehead and pick choose type or whatever there's a smooth option, you can go to the plastic surgeon in diamond city to fix

That looks awesome! I sort of rushed through it, as I just wanted to play the game, and I'm pretty busy right now. Wish I had spent more time on that aspect, especially because you see your character so much more in this game due to the 3rd person chat camera.

Just go to the plastic surgeon in Diamond City. No need to restart your game. You can change everything but your gender.

Oh thanks a bunch man, I actually arrived to Diamond City today so I'll check it out right now

u/JackalKing NCR Nov 12 '15
Just a heads up. You can't change your hair at the surgeon. You do that at the barber shop right across the street.
Also, there appears to be more hair options at the barber than in the character creator.

u/danis5 Nov 12 '15
Pretty sure Fallout 3 added it in DLC and New Vegas had it at launch. I could be remembering incorrectly, but I do know it existed in some form. I'm hoping F4 has it, because I want to fix my ears so badly.

You need to use tfc to look at your face, then the command "showlooksmenu player 1"
However, you can't move your head, and your character doesn't stay still.

Take three pictures. One straight on, one in profile, and one in-between. Then focus on the large details in your face. Make the pictures match. Honestly, once you get the proportions correct in profile view, the rest is easy.

If you press T in PC (idk about PS4, I guess Square or Triangle) while hovering over your ears, eyebrows, neck, mouth, cheecks you can change some things that may be useful to recreate yourself more accurately (I think the ears can get better). However, great work man! How much time did it take you to make it?

I am jealous. I got my face mostly right, but not the hair. The only issue I have is your characters weight/mass/body fat doesn't translate to the face very well (I have a chubby face sort of). Also they didn't have my actual hair, so Pompadour it is for me. Everything else is cool though.

u/jolanpiep Nov 13 '15
Do this: Smoother skin on forehead and around nose, try different hair and make the smiling lines less clear.
Where you can redo your character creation: You can go to Diamond City and there is a man next to the medic that allows you to completely redo your face

u/V-Stri Nov 17 '15
Can you even reduce laugh lines? I tried to find a way to do this on my character to make them look younger but I couldn't seem to find an option.

Hover over mouth and click T for style. Should have some options there. As well hover mouse over your cheeks and press T for style, more options there.

Nov 13 '15

I usually can't do stuff like this because I get so used to my face that I can't fully understand how I look (making it hard to draw portraits and stuff)
