That's why good games give you the option to remove helmets during cutscenes, or just hide them altogether.

Seems like a logical fallacy to me.

ideally i'd want games to have NPCs react to if you're wearing a helmet or not, and a real risk of getting attacked when in populated areas, so you have a choice to make whether you want to keep your helmet on or take it off (and that should be a simple button press)

that way there's a bit of added flavour, and you have an actual reason to see your character without a helmet.

No. I want to see my cool helmet. Games that remove helmets and (all customization) during cutscenes annoy me.

Good work reading their comment

or just hide them altogether.

I read that as in they either remove the helmets during cutscenes or they give you an option for selecting if you want to do that. But sure, thanks for the compliment...

I usually rock the body armor + no helmet look, it's badass, unless the helmet has stats that are too good to pass up.

I liked when in WoW you could turn off helmets in settings.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

I feel targeted and attacked personally.

That's why you get sex mods.

But the helmet stays on.

I spend most of my time constantly customizing my character in Fallout 4 than actually playing the game I've noticed. I like to switch out her outfits, her hair, eye colour, etc. from time to time depending in what's happening in game. For example, if she's in Nuka World as a raider then I put on a post-apocalyptic outfit or if she's in the institute I dress her as a covert assassin.

Haha, hours spent making my Skyrim characters just the right shade of almost looking right...

I play exclusively in first person.

Just got fallout 4 the other day. Spent like an hour making the guy look like Geralt from the Witcher, then proceeded to play as the gal.

Such a shame that >!he died after like 10 minutes!<

I'm learning just now that you can even customize both of them. I never thought to do both, just whichever I feel like playing as for that playthrough.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Wait, am I just learning now that you can customize both parents and then choose which one to actually play later?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

You customize both but "later" is a stretch. You will never see the other after bout 10 minutes of gameplay. >!Spoilers!<. I think they use both of your looks to generate your child but honestly that side story is such shit - I'd rather not look for my son/daughter.

Nonsense. If you ever want to >!go back to the vault, you can see their frozen body slumped over next to your open cryopod.!< That's like a whole 12 minutes!
