A Starfield Player's Remarkable Feat: Crafting Arthur Morgan from Red Dead Redemption 2
With the highly-anticipated RPG Starfield making its way to current-generation Xbox consoles and PC on September 6, gamers who purchased higher-tier editions have enjoyed early access since September 1. While many players eagerly embarked on their space-faring adventures, some decided to take their time in the game's character creator, and Reddit user ShhMyLegsAreSleeping is one of them. They embarked on an extraordinary journey to recreate Arthur Morgan from Red Dead Redemption 2 within the expansive universe of Starfield.
Opting for Arthur's iconic clean-shaven appearance, a look achievable in RDR2 after a specific mission in Chapter 4, the end result of their efforts is truly remarkable, bearing a striking resemblance to Rockstar's beloved protagonist.
Delving into the details of this impressive feat, the creator explained that they began with the third Starfield face preset as their foundation and meticulously shaped every facet of the character's visage until they achieved the desired likeness. This task was no walk in the park, mainly because Starfield's character creator lacks the user-friendliness found in other games. Most facial features, including the forehead, eyes, nose, and chin, are shaped using a multitude of sliders labeled as "shape blends," with minimal additional guidance.
This approach demands a fair amount of trial and error for newcomers, but the character creator's potential rivals even that of Fallout 4, promising the patient a canvas to craft in-game versions of themselves or anyone else. Furthermore, PC players can anticipate modders to offer a more intuitive character creation interface in the future, enhancing the overall experience.
This remarkable rendition of Arthur Morgan is just one example of the gaming community harnessing Starfield's character creator to bring iconic characters from other media franchises into the intergalactic realm. During the RPG's early access period, another player ventured into Starfield's universe as Tony Soprano, showcasing the creative possibilities that await in this expansive, spacefaring adventure.
