The creator humorously documents their struggle to design an unconventional “old lady” character in Star Citizen, highlighting the game’s limited customization options and lack of diverse representation. Despite frustrations with the interface and features, they successfully craft a quirky, vibrant character that reflects their satirical take on the game’s player base and customization system.
In this video, the creator discusses their previous ban from the game Star Citizen, attributing it to their unique sense of humor, and announces their plan to create an “ultimate simpy sloppy” character to avoid another ban. They express dissatisfaction with the game’s character customization options, particularly the lack of diversity and representation that resonates with them. The creator humorously emphasizes their desire to make an unconventional character, specifically an old lady, reflecting their tongue-in-cheek view that the game is mostly played by elderly grandmothers.
As they navigate the character creation interface, the creator encounters several frustrations. They struggle to find features that align with their vision, such as old lady characteristics, appropriate eye colors, and skin details like freckles. Despite these challenges, they manage to approximate the look they want, joking about the character starting to resemble an “old cat lady.” The process highlights the limitations and quirks of the game’s customization system, which sometimes fails to respond as expected.
The creator continues experimenting with hair color and style, aiming for something vibrant and unique like green or pink hair. They poke fun at the concept of cultural appropriation while playfully justifying their choices by referencing the game’s English studio origins. The character’s eccentric appearance evolves, with the creator noting that the character could almost be mistaken for an employee of the game’s developer, Cloud Imperium Games (CIG).
Further complications arise when the creator attempts to customize facial hair and its color. They express frustration with the confusing controls and the game’s inability to fully support their desired look, especially regarding beard color and dye options. Despite these hurdles, the creator perseveres, experimenting with different settings and styles to achieve a look that feels “crazy enough” and representative of their intended character concept.
In conclusion, the creator feels satisfied with the progress made in building their unconventional character, describing it as a good start. They humorously critique the game’s customization system for its shortcomings but remain optimistic about moving forward to actually play the game with their new creation. The video blends satire and genuine commentary on character customization limitations, diversity, and player representation within Star Citizen.
