Considering which side of our characters we look at the most, it bewilders me how little customization that MMO designers give to the back of our toons. Where are the neck hair sliders? The options to have a hunchback or jutting shoulder blades? And why can’t I give every hero I’ve played a buttocks big enough to deflect intercontinental missiles?
At least Guy is having fun playing from the back: “I’ve attached a really mint screenie from Neverwinter’s new Undermountain zone. The story is, I logged out on this cliff edge in a hurry, and when I logged back in the next day the camera was in just the right position to make me see this fantastic view!”
Meanwhile over in Star Citizen, your hundreds of millions of dollars are being put to good use by creating SPACE FASHION. MurderHobo is looking tops ‘n’ tails today!
“A bit late to the party, but here goes,” he posted. “This is what the fashionable Space Captain MurderHobo of means is wearing this season in the Verse.”
More readers continued to strut onto our virtual catwalk in last week’s One Shots, including Bereman. Is it hard to take a bad screenshot in Final Fantasy XIV, I ask you? I mean, you’d really have to try.
“Simple and a bit elegant, and a frequent favorite spot for screenshots in FFXIV,” Bereman posted. “Here’s my latest outfit my currently being leveled class, White Mage.”
Hugmonster’s sleek outfit from Warframe disturbed a lot of readers — presumably in a good way. Kind of reminds me of a poisonous spider or that one geek who spent a few hundred dollars too much on last year’s Halloween party costume and ended up shaming everyone else out of the house.
“No fashion show, not even pretty nebulae shots or planetary vistas from me this week,” said Ryuen. “I will however share a moment on my travels in Elite: Dangerous this week that made me pause and reflect: the moment I visited a memorial for a fellow CMDR.”
For this week’s screenshot challenge, let’s have some weird fun with character creators! Log in to your favorite game and make the most off-putting, disturbing, and ugly character that you can — and then post it for us! Bonus points if you actually play that character for any length of time!
Every week, One Shots shines a spotlight on the best community screenshots from your MMO adventures. If you have a great pic to share, email it to justin@massivelyop.com with the subject “One Shots.” Make sure that the picture is over 880px wide and comes with a description or story!
