At the moment, based on the materials that were published by influencers and the development team itself, we have a fairly well-formed idea about the customization of our characters.
Currently, the system works as follows:
- Specific armor sets are tied to a character's class.
- Specific Chaos classes are tied to specific Traitor Legions.
- Parts of a Champion's armor pack do not apply to other classes and cannot be customized in any way.
- Personality (voice and face) are also tied to classes.
- There are currently no known armor sets for Chaos Space Marines similar to the Loyalists.
- Old armor marks are only available to Chaos Space Marines.
So this approach raises a number of questions. The most basic of them is - if you're trying to justify this with lore, then why can we play in the Traitor color scheme as someone who is lore-wise an Ultramarine?
In other words, if you're trying to give players fun, why limit that fun by imposing a lot of hardship? So there is fundamentally no reason not to give players more freedom and fun.
First of all, there are problems of this system, the solution to which lies on the surface. I propose the following:
- Make the class binding less obvious in terms of character customization. Using the Loyalist example, class progression should unlock similar armor skins for all classes, or at least for Heavy, Tactical, Assault, Bulwark.
- Chaos classes should not be tied to a legion, armor sets should be added, as well as a system for changing specific armor pieces.
- The champion pack, especially if it is paid content, should be distributed to all classes, or have the ability to customize other classes with parts of this armor.
Secondly, there are wishes that will give more freedom and fun. I suggest the following:
- Give the ability to create your own face and choose a voice option for your space marine. You can do something similar to the Darktide character editor.
- Add Firstborn armor (Mark 4, Mark 6, Mark 7, Mark 8). You can make a filter so that if one of these parts is equipped, then Primaris armor (Mark 10) and its parts become unavailable.
At the end, when I found out that my beloved 4th Company of Ultramarines, led by Uriel Ventris, was tied to a specific class (Heavy) that I was unlikely to play, it really upset me. Thus, I hope that the developers have plans to improve this customization system and my suggestions will be considered.
UPD 1
Missing features:
- There is no way to change the color of the lenses on the helmet.
- There is no tab or color scheme to change the color of the hands. At the very least, it would be nice to see a color scheme like this if the Crimson Fists are going to be added.
- No color fill for weapons.
