   One thing I’ve noticed about the different character creation systems in games is that they really aren’t optimized for black people. I find it hard to make a character that doesn’t look like a white person with a bad burn, or the hair doesn’t look right. Often what looks good in the character creator looks terrible once you’re playing in the games normal lighting.

      @brainblasted yeah. Even the most progressive games are terrible at this.
      
      Sometimes the skin tones are way off or you have to toggle lips and noses for hours. My biggest issue is natural hair bc even if they have the option (which is a very big IF), there's only like 2 hairstyles and they look messy and half-assed.
      
      Also, it would be super easy to just randomize the character creator screen but they always start with a white char as a default ://
