How to be handsome?

Post » Thu May 10, 2012 4:51 pm

Is it even possible to create a handsome character(male only) in Skyrim?
I managed to create very handsome male characters in Dragon Age and Mass Effect 2 but here I'm having no luck at all, I'm very unhappy with this.

I would like my character to look similar to this-

or this-

I was so disappointed that Bethesda didn't implement codes for copy/pasting like in Mass Effect 2. Do you know if there are any guides or indirect converters like from ME1 to ME2?

Kaiden is hot! I know why you want to make a character like him. I made a handsome mage, of course. I would pick a Breton or an Imperial to start with. I picked one of the last "preset" images for male Bretons as a good baseline, he had medium length gray hair if that helps, with a strapping goatee. Then, just tweak it a little with the sliders.

My mage gets hit on by both sixes now, which is fine with me. Good luck!

Have you managed to make him look younger, they all look like in their 40ies. when I got to the first trader I heard some NPC say "what a strapping young lad!", and I thought "[censored] I am"..

I made mine pretty handsome. Took about 25 minutes in the CC but I didn't make him fratboy pretty like you seem to want. This is Skyrim.

Also, lolKaiden.

Make you you slide the "age" slider all the way to the left. I forget the name of the actual sider, but, all the wrinkles go away.

As far as age, youngest you can get in the CC is about 35. But, that's a hot age, I look great and I'm almost there myself. :rock:

Did you use Nord, Imperial or Breton, I only used Breton because of the inherent bonus but if Nord has better faces I might sacrifice that..

Btw, Bretons have spellcrafting bonus but I can't find that stat anywhere..

There's not much point since you won't be seeing much of that face. Most characters tend to look a lot more rough and gritty in Skyrim, even with the 'Dirt' slider turned way down.

Berton, as I said. I'm a mage and they work well, and look much BETTER than the high elves. Haha.

Here are the Breton racial bonuses:

■+10 Conjuration
■+5 Alchemy
■+5 Alteration
■+5 Illusion
■+5 Restoration
■+5 Speech

They also get a summon familiar spell and an absorb 50% magica once-per-day spell.

From where did you get that information, I want to look at other races too...especially Imperials, the whole thing is very consolized and dumbed down.

My High Elves and Nords are man-gorgeous, but some races are just perpetually hideous. (Dunmer)
