New Mod Offers Character Creation Options
One of the major criticisms of Crimson Desert since its launch has been the lack of character customization. Players are restricted to controlling Kliff, whose personality has also faced scrutiny. Fortunately, the modding community has stepped in to fill this gap.
The Character Creator - Female mod, created by Khione95, allows players to design their own female characters using the game's barber function. It features 98 face presets and 159 hair styles, giving players a chance to inject some individuality into their experience. A male version of this mod is expected to launch soon.
This mod enables players to engage with Crimson Desert in a more personalized way, utilizing the female human preset. Many armors have been adjusted to fit the new character model, and future updates promise even more customization options, including additional races like orcs and goblins, along with a complete set of female animations.
Players can also use Ev3n5taR’s Kliff Female Voice mod alongside the character creator. This voice mod utilizes AI to convert Kliff's original dialogue into a female voice. While the results are somewhat rough, modders are known for their ability to improve their creations over time.
Reaction to this mod has generally been favorable, with some fans expressing confusion over why Pearl Abyss did not incorporate a character creator from the outset. One player remarked, “The story just wasn't strong enough to justify not using BDO’s unbelievable character creator.” Another summed up the sentiment with, “I’m still beyond confused why they didn't go the Cyberpunk route.”
