Edit: did not take that long, roughly 1 hour of downloading and getting things to run. Here are some screenshots, I think it looks pretty solid.

Pheew, downloading manually 120 mods for Fallout: New Vegas, gonna take some time, but it's going to look awesome!🙂

I should replay Fallout: New Vegas one of these days. Or maybe I should replay Fallout 3 first. Or maybe try out Fallout: London...

@dxchase I noticed you mentioned the Gothic 1 remake in some earlier posts, so this might be of interest:

I played Gothic 2 and liked it a lot (after I lowered the difficulty down to easy - that game was HARD). I always meant to go back and play G1, but now I'm glad I didn't.

Maker of POE offers suggestions

I figured the expansion would add more game, not just features and 1 new character class.

25 years wait to get one character... yay

Not sure why he said the new character might have balancing issues

looks normal to me

Anyone trying it out?

Interestingly enough, it seems some people are complaining about the character creator making men look like women or not being able to make men look like men. Personally, I'm fine with a good mix of adjustments, as long as you CAN adjust to either side or somewhere in between. It seems to be the safe area to land at as long as the game is not pushing boundaries because of the theme of the game or just for making puns overall, like in the Saints Row universe, etc.

It looks fine to me

Spoiler: Boris my fighter

Actually, I'm getting ready to launch the game now and will report back...

@Frindis The problem is twofold.

They initially ask you to pick your character's face. At this stage, all the faces are somewhat feminine.

However:

If you go to the next section, assuming that you see it and understand what you are supposed to do, you have the option of opening up a sort of genealogy page. When you go there, you choose 3 faces. This list of faces is much bigger and has some masculine-looking faces available. None of them are "Geralt" levels of manly, but you can also adjust them a little. Each face goes on one corner of a triangle, and you move the cursor around in that triangle, and it combines the three heads in different ways as you go.

Frankly, it's a dumb system and difficult to get what you want, but you can definitely make male characters.

Here's the guy I just made:

It was harder not to make him Asian.

It was harder not to make him Asian.

So, if you were to make a really masculine character, what would it look like if you took into consideration the 14th Triple Crown Champion and 7th Grand Slam Champion, Edge?
