Starfield character customisation: All your options explained

radiotimes.com:

Starfield character customisation offers many different options and design choices to help make your astronaut stand out among the numerous humanoids found across the galaxy.

Bethesda games like Fallout and the Elder Scrolls are known for their extensive options when it comes to character creation, and Starfield only builds on that further.

Everything from your body to your background to your Biometric ID can be customised. That's a lot to break down. And a lot of time that can easily get lost designing your character.

To help make this a little bit simpler, we've interrogated all of Starfield's character customisation options, including the main differences and how this can affect gameplay.

If you do fancy a bit more time to get your character customisation in order, it might be worth jumping in ASAP via Starfield early access. Anyone who does can start playing from 1st September 2023. Now then, onto the question at hand.

One of the earliest decisions in Starfield surrounds your character's customisation. Should I have short hair? Should I have long hair? How about a purple beard? These are the choices that are thrust upon you in the opening hour.

There are five character customisation options: Biometric ID, Body, Face, Background and Traits.

The good news is that Starfield doesn't force you to stick with your character design for the entirety of the game, if you don't want to.

There are several Enhance stores located across the Settled Systems, with one even found on New Atlantis on Jemison — near to where you first land.

It costs 500 credits and lets you redo your appearance altogether, except for your Background and Traits. Those two directly impact gameplay and cannot be changed once selected at the start.
