And urgh, STILL don't like the look of my character once I get into the game.  I've deleted it 3 times now.  I just can't bring myself to play as some hideous deformed freak on horseback.

Uh I think I found a bug for female skin having wrinkles making her look old.i am doing a glitch that involves deleting my character over and over and the age tab is what corrects it by switching age back and forward

 

Like in this pic

Compare to this

So make that the last change for your character if you run into this problem :/

Yep, that's the one I ended up going with too.

I made a skinny 60 year old lady with grey tones to the hair, a lot of missing teeth, droopy ears and a crooked nose. She also has a scar across her left eye, a few moles and generally bad skin.

 

I love it how she contrasts with all the pretty boahs of the west. ☺️

I don't understand, my character during character creation looked decent, but once I got into the "breakout" mission, she looked ugly.   Not to mention, the picture you take right after looks way different looks way different than in game. Why can't Rockstar make a normal character creator? I came across some well created female characters in some online missions.

Do you maybe have issue with black circles around your eyes, like your character is seriously sick? I was trying to create my character for almost 5 hours now, without success.  Overall look is somewhat ok, but as soon as I start to play, suddenly black circles around his eyes become prominent and he definitely didn't look like that in creator.

I deleted the first "alien" I made and created another character. I'm not sure what do you mean.

Finally got a character design that I'm happy with.  Although I think the hat helps with the moody look.

 Sorry for the late reply. It isn't so much the black circles around the eyes in my case. It is more like in  the character creator my female looked like a freshly turned 18 year old. As soon as the first prison scene started and since then she looked like a old hag. I've seen other female characters that look amazing  in Red Dead Online , on the internet and above in this thread.

Did you make sure to readjust your age as the very last thing you did in the creator? So far it seems like the glitch is less likely to occur if you do that.

Yes, but at this point. I don't want to start over, I am at level 10,, not to mention the last wave of players have joined (people who played Red Dead 2 after Oct 27), It is bad enough dealing with people with auto aim. I won't start back over again now. I might if we get a "friendly server" like the first game.

Yeah its gtao all over again. Actually i think my character in rdo is uglier than in gtao. I spent about the same amount of time(10 minutes).

I'm glad it's not just me then :D
I deleted my first character because he looked like he'd risen from a bog, and then the game wouldn't let me past the Clay Brothers mission because it got confused between first and second characters, so I created a third character which I equally loathe. This game has been a pain!

 

And now I'm concerned about the 'beta' status and the lack of any statistics on the Rockstar Social Club for RDR2 online, as though progress could be wiped once Rockstar come out of 'beta'.

 

I get the feeling this game was not designed for online play from the ground up, but an unearthed single-player game with a pretty average online component tacked on. I am really demotivated about playing this game, not sure why? Maybe if my character had reasonable looks, lived in a house instead of a tent, and had some website stats that I could analyse!

Is it just me, or am I the only one that thinks this is a ridiculous assumption to make? R* has suggested that this game could be in “beta” for weeks if not months. Does anyone really think they would wipe everything everyone has worked for in that time? I’d never  touch a R* game again if it ever came to that.

I nailed the look of my character in 30 minutes. Sadly he looks baby faced without the mustache. but then again So do I in real life with no facial hair, so it's perfect.

I feel the same way. If Rockstar dumped my progress after weeks or months of gameplay I'd bin the game for good, but why no stats on the RSC? Nothing!

 

Tonight I will try my FOURTH character creation and if it goes wrong again I might just pull a hissy fit in the living room or, God forbid, shout loudly at the dog :D

There's something seriously broken with character creation. I created a character that looked pretty good and hit confirm and to have the photo taken. They didn't look quite right so I hit circle to go back and change them. When I got back to edit the character they looked totally different and some of the settings had reset. And even though I had written down all the setting, when I set them back exactly the same my character looked completely different. Surely they must have tested character creation and it's not that difficult to get right because it's done in complete isolation of the rest of the game. I think rockstar have been very lazy with this and haven't checked things anywhere near enough.

I did this, got the same options each time.

 

One thing to note, there is a customize option when choosing your cheeks, nose, mouth, jaw etc. which give the same fine-tuning options that gtao had (the grid withe 4 extremes that you move the dot in), which can really help make the characters look less meth-y.

 

After spending roughly an hour, I came up with this character. Not amazing, but also not a meth-head:

46922647_208327840086875_1018721227058970624_n.jpg?_nc_cat=100&_nc_ht=scontent.fymq2-1.fna&oh=5e1f2c4aa45a4a5bb6d3c3c080a0b752&oe=5C643045

That’s a damn fine result. Well done. I am happy that a character like that is as pretty as it gets. I like the personality it gives the game.

i'm banking on there being a mask update soon so i can use that as an excuse to cover up how fk ugly my character is. He looks like the dude with all the scars on his face from Battlestar Galactica but much less interesting.

"Head 3" is the one I wound up rolling with too.

 

I just hope my character never smiles in-game.

If I create a new character will I lose the deluxe edition horse/clothes that I’ve already claimed?

No, you will not lose them, they are good for as many characters as you want to make.

I never thought in a million years I'd get over the idea of Rockstar creating a worse creator than the one on GTAO for last gen

 

And I was right.

Head 3, 4, 9, 11 and 14 seem to be the friendliest ones. For female characters that is...

You are not wrong. I've had good characters by hitting Random and when trying to recreate them they look different. Also backing out resets some options.

 

EDIT: k, thing I got it. Apparently when you customize facial features using the sliders you have to do it in the right section, so you first select one of the normal options and then customize it. Pretty stupid I know, but its a beta...

It's all random. Even the heads people see. Every time you hit randomize, or go to the photo screen, it randomizrs all 17 heads that you're shown. You will never see the same face twice.

My guy wound up looking like a straight up neanderthal. Regret not taking the time to pick a good looking character.

My god, these characters are so hideous. Why do they limit skin-tone based on face presets instead of just letting us use all of them. The 3 heads I had to use to have the skintone I wanted are so ugly. :/

 

I'm gonna wear bandanas all the time

I started over 7 times already, but made 300 bucks and started a permanent posse (finally !)

Now if i decide to start over again because i still dont like how my character looks, do i lose that permanent posse ?

Does anyone know ?
