Once I managed to pry myself away from customizing my ranger, I hopped into the game itself – and happily, the experience stayed largely positive. An odd move for a sandbox MMO, but not exactly a joy-killer. The only downside to the editor – and to the character creation process in general – is that the game’s 12 classes are locked by gender and race. The fact that it’s also available as a free download is a bold move on the part of developer Pearl Abyss, but it seems to have done its job of building interest in the game itself. It really is a sight to behold, allowing for customization down to the length of arms, thighs, wrists and more. Protip: don’t stand where the massive ogre-beasts swing their clubs.įirst and foremost, “Oh wow, that character creator is amazing!” will sum up most people’s first impressions of Black Desert Online – and it’s probably the most detailed editor available since the heyday of City of Heroes.
