class="article_body_content"> <p>All I really know about <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220503203705/https://rockpapershotgun.com/games/black-desert-online">Black Desert Online</a> is that it has an amazing character creator, and that's why I instantly claimed a free copy when I heard that the makers are giving it away right now. I've since read that the fantasy MMORPG is a pretty fun game too? But in all honesty, I'm downloading it mostly to make pretty/weird/monstrous wizards.</p>  <p>First of all, the character creator is enough of a feature that the Korean YouTube has a running series giving characters makeovers. Observe, the many tweaks revamping this lad:</p> <div class="blue_billywig"> <figure class="video_wrapper bluebillywig"> <script async data-cookies-src="https://gamernetwork.bbvms.com/p/rock_paper_shotgun_autoplay/c/4730701.js" data-lazyload="true" data-nocookies-src="https://gamernetwork.bbvms.com/p/rock_paper_shotgun_no_cookies/c/4730701.js"></script> </figure> <a class="button" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220503203705/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30Zx1s4o0mI" rel="noopener" target="_blank"> Watch on YouTube </a> </div> <p>It is a very good character creator. It has the same face-tweaking settings as many other games you'll have played, all lots of sliders and colours and options and things, but get this: the end result can actually look good, rather than inspiring some sort of Uncanny Valley dread. And those sliders and bits are extra good, even offering options to rearrange a preset hairstyle by dragging locks around.</p> <figure class="right"> <a data-lightbox="true" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220503203705/https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/black-desert-online-character-creator-a.jpg/BROK/resize/1920x1920%3E/format/jpg/quality/80/black-desert-online-character-creator-a.jpg" target="_blank"> <img alt="A fancy lady in Black Desert Online's character creator." class="content_image" height="388" loading="lazy" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20220503203705im_/https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/black-desert-online-character-creator-a.jpg/BROK/resize/690%3E/format/jpg/quality/80/black-desert-online-character-creator-a.jpg" srcset="https://web.archive.org/web/20220503203705im_/https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/black-desert-online-character-creator-a.jpg/BROK/resize/690%3E/format/jpg/quality/80/black-desert-online-character-creator-a.jpg 1x, https://web.archive.org/web/20220503203705im_/https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/black-desert-online-character-creator-a.jpg/BROK/resize/1380%3E/format/jpg/quality/80/black-desert-online-character-creator-a.jpg 2x" width="690"></a> <figcaption>A more typical Black Desert character.</figcaption> </figure> <p>Or if you can't be fussed with faff, the creator has a button to browse through <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220503203705/https://www.naeu.playblackdesert.com/en-US/BeautyAlbum/Home/Rank">a gallery of characters</a> made by other players. With a simple click you can load their look, and usually are free to further edit them yourself. While there's a pretty defined aesthetic to the most popular skins, lots of pouting porcelain dolls, sometimes you will inexplicably stumble across a character like her ↑ up top to remind you that oh goodness yes you can make monstrous characters too.</p> <p>Our Graham also <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220503203705/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/black-desert-closed-beta">had fun with horrors</a> way back in beta.</p> <p>Oh, right, and there's a game attached to this character creator too? Our <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220503203705/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/black-desert-online-review">Black Desert Online review</a> in 2016 called it "a truly memorable MMORPG", and it's grown a lot since then. The latest word from us is that it's one of the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220503203705/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/best-mmos-mmorpgs">best MMORPGs</a> still.</p> <p>You <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220503203705/https://www.naeu.playblackdesert.com/en-US/News/Detail?groupContentNo=2931&countryType=en-US">have until Wednesday the 13th</a> to claim a copy of the base game free for keepsies.
