First up you’ll choose from 30 basic templates, with almost every gamer around the world able to create a character that looks like them. Avalanche Software has clearly taken the time to make sure each default template looks good, likely knowing that many casual gamers will quickly flick through these options to get the game started. It should be n...
Once you’ve chosen your basic template, you move onto “Facewear,” and there are 15 variations on individual faces for each body type. Some are minor tweaks to the default model, but some can be wildly different in appearance.

You have 50 distinct hairstyles to choose from here, and it should be noted that these are not locked behind your character’s external gender presentation. Want to create a beefy guy with flowing glossy locks and killer bangs? A petite girl with a shaved head? Go for it. Hairstyles run the gamut of styles, including a wide variety of Afro-textured ...
Next up is “Complexion.” This lets you pick from 10 looks for your face.

You can then pick from 10 styles of “Freckles and Moles,” though you can’t place moles where you see fit. The Wizardi...
You have 25 different eye colors to choose from, covering just about all-natural shades (and some more striking ones). Then it’s onto eyebrows, where you have 20 different options and 32 colors to choose from. Most of these look very similar to one another, though we’ll give a shout-out to the unibrow option if you want to go with a caveman vibe.
In another nod to Hogwarts Legacytrying its best to move past the Rowling transphobia thing, the two character voices aren’t “male” and “female,” but simply “Voice One” (masculine sounding) and “Voice Two” (feminine sounding). You can then choose between five pitches, which sound quite nicely modulated. Even at the higher and lower ends of the spec...
Now you’re ready to go. It’s worth mentioning that once you exit the character creator, your face and body type is locked in for the game, though you can visit the barber in Hogsmeade (accessible early in the game) and change your hair color and style whenever you wish. Given the magical possibilities of the world (um, polyjuice potion?) it’s a lit...
