Prkl8r Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 For me, I love being able to change my soldiers to people I know. This was such a small thing in the new XCOM games that added a lot of enjoyment for me. So in addition to just allowing changing our soldiers names, I'd love to be able to change appearance, gender, and nationality on top of the existing name change, to match people I know. I know this isn't the most pressing thing and I'm not saying this should come before major features, but I still think this is a small thing that would add a lot to the game and should be done at some point. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cman1983 Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 And also add codenames to the soldiers 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raffik Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 (edited) perhaps also havin different body types (male / female) instead of havin male body for all your soldiers and only change the face. Very apparent with the stalker armour in case of female soldiers... Edited July 25, 2023 by Raffik addition 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alienkiller Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 (edited) That won´t be possible about the Copyright from the Crowfounders / Betatesters and Developers, which created the Soldiers as a Portrait from them. And that´s Fact. If you wan´t an Soldier for yourself you can do it later on. All others ingame are Copyright-Secured and Hardcoded.

You can already change the names, I'm not saying we should change the existing faces, just let us select from the ones available and select the soldiers gender and nationality. Nothing you said would prevent us from just being able to select from the available options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alienkiller Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 (edited) A lot, about the fact, that we Founders and the Developers created their own Soldiers (Copyright-Safety) and wanna be asked first, before someone is making an 08/15-Scrap-Change to them, if that Soldiers aren´t hardcoded implemented. If not we get very angry and that nobody whish. Edited July 25, 2023 by Alienkiller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubleskulls Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Being able to pick the image you want from the current library of images would be fine though? Are you even opposed to people uploading completely new images they'd created themselves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not asking to be able to change the existing faces, just to be able to select the one you want for your soldier from the ones that already do exist. There is no "08/15-Scrap-Change" to the faces, just saying "oh, I want to select one of the other faces for this character." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there's some language barrier, but his ramblings are almost always about as useful as dick flavored lollipop.

Do you write your posts in your native language and copy and paste it in a translator afterwards to get English? I'm not a native speaker myself so I feel your pain, but what you are doing is clearly not working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alienkiller Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 (edited) If they create complete new ones with the Soldier-Designer or wanna change the not hardcoded fictive-Soldiers they can implement / change what they want. That is meant. Existing personaly Soldiers which get done personaly in hard work from Founders / Beta-Testers / Developers (like the Soldier from Emily_F, Developer Chris other Developers etc.) are property. That are your own Chars in the Game and an Change to them from strangers are an private intervention. And that nobody wanna have, so they have to be hardcoded.

You do know you can already change the name of any soldier in the game already right? So in that sense, none of the soldiers are hardcoded. Being able to change the name but not the appearance is kinda silly because if the purpose is forcing these people to be in peoples games, that's already undercut by allowing name changing.
