Bringing this over to Livejournal - Stick of Truth

[formerdinosaur]

Lots of new images from the game!What do you guys think? My main take away, which I may have just missed in previous press releases/images, is that there seems to have been an actual crisis in the town and the kids are using public buildings that are half-wrecked to wage their pretend war. Also

Has there been any word about how customisable your character can be?

I haven't read a description of it, but it's possible I missed it. I was just wondering, while writing the comment below, if you're allowed to make the character a girl? Since girls are an opposing force in this, I think? (like hippies and goth kids) I wonder how that will play out. I haven't seen any screen shots of Wendy or the other regulars - have I? Maybe I'm forgetting a random Bebe moment or something.

The game informer story from 2011 says you can customize "you gender, name, skin color, hair, and facial features." I've been envisioning something like the avatar creator from the sp studios website, who knows how far off from that it will be. Who knows how accurate anything from that article is anymore. Who knows anything about anything anymore.

Looks like that's no longer the case: http://www.joystiq.com/2013/06/04/south-park-the-stick-of-truth-e3-2013-preview/#continued

And though there are plenty of ladies to team up with and battle in the game, South Park: The Stick of Truth only allows players to create a male hero. Probably not a bad thing.

"Probably not a bad thing."

lol what does this even mean?

I figured it would be male-only because of the boys vs. girls dynamic of kids that age. I hope I can make a cross dressing boy, but I'm doubtful.

I think they mean because it could be awkward in some sort of boys vs girls thing like you said, but it kind of comes off as some guy not caring that male-only player customisable characters suck for a lot of people. To be honest it makes me wish that you could just play as one of the main boys.

I kind of wish you could just play as one of the main boys, too. I've never been into the whole avatar creator element of SP. Also, I want to play as Stan and use Healing Touch on Kyle nonstop.

This also makes me wonder if you can do a boy in a dress, like Kenny!
