Character Creation & Classes

[Trenix]

Honestly, I personally believe that using singleplayer characters for multiplayer was a bad move. These characters have random traits and were great to keep singleplayer interesting, but in multiplayer most people are just using the best characters or the ones that provide the most for cooperative play. So here's my suggestion...

Allow us to make our own custom characters where we could pick their gender, body type, face, eyes, ect. In addition allow us to pick a class which will improve us in an area that can benefit ourselves and our team in a particular way. Depending on the gender you pick, you should also get some benefits as well.

Here are some gender traits examples, these are just some ideas you can obviously add whatever benefits or disadvantages that you want.

Male

• Able to grow a beard.
• Do 15% more damage.

Female

• Have a faster movement speed.
• Attack 15% faster.

Here are some class examples, these are just some ideas you can obviously add whatever classes, benefits, or disadvantages that you want.

Gatherer

• Can gather up to 50 basic resources, such as twigs, sticks, ect, in a stack rather than 40.

Woodcutter

• Obtains more wood per tree.

Cook

• Food made by a cook will provide +5 more hunger.

And so on...

I think that would a good idea for those who don't really want to use the actual game characters

 

Currently Klei is working on character skins but it does well nicely for differ appearances but not overall stats and all

 

Plus this would be really nice for those who don't really use mods
