I’ve graduated to elite bracelets.

I fucking love BG3.

I've been gunning for La'ezel to like me (because I think she's underappreciated because shes a Mean Bitch(tm) and people hate Mean Bitches(tm)) and I got her to like me enough to wanna bang post-celebration.

The HILARIOUS thing, however, is that the scene for having sex with her isn't finished so you get THIS IMAGE and voice lines with a dialogue menu

and lemme tell you, when I saw this? I started wheezing and I could not see for how hard I was laughing.

Anyway, day after La’ezel said “Oh I thought I fucked you into the dirt. Amazing how you’re still standing. We should go again.” and Asterion said “I’m surprised you and her didn’t go at it like dying fish. Good for you, gimme the deets later.” and I cannot believe this game (affectionate).

Mecha Break (Beta) | Character Creator Chat

[Previous Post]              [First Post]              [Next Post] Contains: mild suggestive content(Think D.VA/Zero Suit Samus gear)

So I think giant robots are 'pretty cool', I'm not some Mecha super fan But I have seen a few gundam anime, and really Enjoyed G-witch I've played some mech games too, and really enjoy ones that let you design your own mech, and customize to your liking! But this is the first I've tried that offers pilot detailed pilot customization as well! So let's take a look at what they have to offer!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Just as a bit of a disclaimer: this is just really my (mostly uninformed) views on design and character creation, I'm mostly doing this 'for fun'! And will mostly just serve as a 'snapshot' of my current views and perspectives. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(This is still a beta, Aug3-13, so may be subject to change) Like usual, This is not a review of the game or character creator, I'm just going to try to recreate my style savvy avatar, and give my thoughts on the options on offer.

---- The starting outfits are about what you'd expect, You start in the typical 'bodysuit' style attire the genre's known for, i Featured in pretty everything from Metroid to overwatch.

They do a fair bit to "spice it up" with belts and lights, but I'm sure while reading this you already know how you feel about the style. So let's move on..

Alright, quite a few options right out of the gate! We can't change our outfit just yet, so let's look at the avatar options. First up is skin tone:

A pretty decent selection in my opinion, but I really think the tone jumps quite a bit in the last (darkest) tone. I think an extra inbetween would have really fit what I was looking for.

They also have an 'advanced' section for skin with a few skin textures Along with sliders to adjust the effect levels.

This is not really something I've thought much about, The smoothness slider seems less like your typical 'beauty filter' and more like a glossiness option. Roughness controls the skin texture. Already this is going to be a bit difficult, Style Savvy's art style changed quite a bit from entry to entry, but they stayed cartoon-y

But this is a beta anyway, so I'm sure my progress will be wiped, may as well just keep going. Next up is face shape:

6 Face presets, and a tone of sliders in advanced mode:

Honestly, it's a little overwhelming, I often get lost in a sea of sliders and tweaks and end up making an alien if I so much as touch them. So I'll leave these a lone and stick with vanilla 'face 4'. Next up eyes:

8 presets, but they only effect the eye shape, any tweaks to lids or brows requires digging into the super dense 'advance menu':

Because of this, I started touching the sliders, and now I'm trapped here, help! Next Up is nose options:

A few good presets, Less advanced options this time. But this time they're not broken up into tabs, so scrolling is required Also, I'm not a huge fan of how the face morphs with each change:

It honestly makes every choice look a little weird... Ok, I'm about halfway to the Tumblr image limit, so let's speed this up. The last 'face option' is for the mouth:

And this is why I generally just try to recreate my style savvy avatar, I literally never know what to do with these options sometimes! What makes a good nose or mouth? I like creating characters, But I can get a little self-conscious when there are too many options. Next up is “personality” as I understand it, this is just your default facial expression:

4 presets, they all look very similar, (and of course now they don't have advanced options, haha) I picked the 4th, I think it looks a little more mature and confident.

Next up makeup, Here's where we get 'advanced' settings for colors

We have quite a few options here, Contouring, Facial markings, Blush, Eyebrow (trim), Eyelashes, Eye shadow, eyeliner, iris style, and lip makeup. Ok, so I simply have to select the default iris style and change it to green, right? Well...

Nope, no color presets. You need to set 5 individual color settings, Each with full hue, brightness and saturation settings. Again, I love that the people who want to, can tweak every small detail, But the trade-off is that smaller changes take a ton of work for us casuals. I really feel like the advanced options should be just that, “optional” Not required to change basic features of your character. Hair is handled in a much more manageable way:

Base color is really all you need to set, and the rest compliment it, and are easy to set. Next up are 'body' settings... I was a bit disappointed to see the four presets are pretty much just a simple butt/breast slider, (with very minor height differences.)

I'm glad advanced options give you more gradual control. But again, a wider range of presets would have been nice. Also, most the games I've tried don't even feature a “butt slider” But somehow this game has four? (Size, height, width, and uplift) When switching presets, it becomes very notable why, As the game features jiggle 'psychics' for both the chest and rear.

(This is just the 'main body' tab) It's a bit of an odd choice, as you'll never actually see the character in battle, But I'm going to assume upon release there will be A LOT of cosmetics! We still can't change our outfit, but we do get to adjust the colors a bit. 8 color channels, (4 base, 4 accent) and we have 8 paint cans to work with, each with their own attributes

But you can't change how the outfit looks, so unfortunately if you're not really comfortable with the skin-tight look, they don't offer any compromises until later in the game, (and you can only turn down the sliders so far) After that we get the option to choose our voice, and we're ready to get started!

So I can confirm, there is actually gameplay! It's very fast-paced, and frantic, however this boss from the prologue you see the rest of this game is currently PVP only. A bit sad to hear, I though the boss fight was pretty cool! Oh well, maybe they'll have co-op vs ai fights with more bosses in the future. ...Anyways after you finish two pvp practice fights, (as part of this beta), they dumped a TON of credits on me, so let's see what outfit options we have!

I'm not really a fan of any of them, but I'm sure more will be added. You could argue they were going for a racing/mechanic theme. But I really think there should be more variety in starting outfits, let along these 'premium' options. Here are the male outfits for comparison:

You can also buy ear rings, glasses and hats in the shop, and annoyingly, hats currently come with a forced hairstyle:

So final thoughts I guess, This game has one of the most detailed character creators I've ever seen. But at the same time, I find it very cumbersome to use. They offer the player a ton of choice in some areas, but little to none in others. And it feels like Fanservice was much more important than player freedom. As mentioned in the past, I'm not against fan service in games, But when you offer the player like 5 different sliders just to tweak the breasts, but zero to tweak the hairstyle. (length, volume, etc) It feels a bit unbalanced. I'm 100% for allowing people being able to create their character how they see fit, so I'm not even arguing that some of these features or “psychics” need to be removed. Maybe just make some of it optional Maybe just put 10% of that crazy “advanced mode” energy into adding more variety and sliders in other areas too. Also, the presets and starting outfits, really need more options as well. But at the end of the day, I had fun messing around in the character creator. Here's my final comparison: (got a bit lost in translation)

And here are two alt colors I made for the costumes:

(Currently there is no way to save color presets) Next CCC: Animal Crossing ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks for reading! I had a lot of fun making this, so I hope you had fun reading it as well!

As always, all comments, questions, and suggestions are welcome! (I'm also looking for feedback on this new style, how's the formatting)

You literally can't bother me, (unless you go out of your way to be a jerk), so post whatever you need to say!

aug3 • proverbs 3:1-35

Don’t rely on your own understanding because it could get you into trouble. Instead, rely on God’s understanding because He knows all things. You can put your trust in Him and not fear anymore. Don’t withhold good from people when you are able to do it. Don’t envy the opressor or follow any of their ways.

Tis all for the day!! Have a grandiose one!!!!
