Saints Row the Third has a weird thing (at least for me) where the face of female characters never comes out in the actual game cut scenes looking how I actually designed them in the character creator...attempting prominent cheekbones results in 'cadaver'...trying to give a bit of a cute overbite causes my characters to look like Cletus the Slack Jawed Yokel...and attempting to figure out how to get what I actually intended is basically very expensive trial and error at Image As Designed. (Oddly, my one male character actually came out looking pretty much exactly how I wanted him, the bastard.)

And a particularly annoying issue I have with character generators that give large palates for skin colour (rather than 'here's a selection of realistic skin colours, and maybe a few oddball ones if you want an alien or something')...attempting to make a dark skinned character generally results in 'ashy grey' instead of the colour I was trying for. (I once managed to get a Soul Cal III character who looked like an actual black person, but forgot to note what I'd chosen for her skin-tone before deleting her and haven't managed the feat since.)

I bet you it's the 3/4th turn thing. Do they allow you to turn the head that way? Because they don't in the ME Creators. So you end up not knowing how a slider will affect a certain angle unless you toggle the head back and forth constantly or you wait until there's a 3/4th shot in game.

Aw, damn, maybe there's a place on the internet that can help?

In SRIII? Yeah, you can do a full rotation, get them full front, full profile, 1/4, 3/4, whatever. And I rotate a lot for the jaw, chin, and nose...still comes out looking wrong pretty much every time. (With my main Boss, I just gave up and went with what I got after the third or fourth attempt...and decided I liked it. Wasn't what I was going for, but she looks good.)

Edit: Ah, since I can't resist a 'look at me' moment, a couple SR screenies... Main Boss (who I call Lydia). Wasn't intended to be so angular, but she grew on me pretty quick.

Male Boss (who I call Wayne Kerr, because I'm 12 and chose the Cockney voice for him), on the other hand, is almost exactly how I wanted him to look.

Oh, huh, that is so weird. I wonder why it does that then.

Both of your characters look really cool! I like 'em.

Thanks. I'm pleased with them too.
