Half-Orc avatars? But what about the character?

    Does anyone know if it's possible to change the "character" of the Half-Orc? I mean...his avatar really is of a Half-Orc! But in the gameplay he's just another Human. It's terrible to see your "beatiful" Half-Orc Berserker all armored and stuffed at the Record screen being represented by a Human at the game...can it be changed?

    The only thing you could change it to would be either the Orc or Orog avatar, but neither would give you a paperdoll in your inventory or change your gamescreen avatar when you equip armor. It would probably crash your game, actually. Sorry, you're stuck with a plain old stinky unattractive human. :(

    At least you can change the skin and hair color to match as best you can. There are some helmets and armors that look particularly...well, Orcy. Just be creative.

    Yeah!! I thought it couldn't have a solution for this. I really can't understand why Bioware haven't thought about it...it's very boring to play with a Half-Orc and use a Human instead. Anyway..thanks for the answer!!

    What are the differences? They look identical to me. I know in Shadowkeeper the avatar is assigned "Fighter Half Orc" or whatever, but I didn't think the in-game avatar was any different.

    Thanks, I knew that. What I believe 8people was saying was that the in-game character in the play screen (also known as the 'avatar') was slightly different from the human one, though they look identical to me. I am aware that the inventory screen version (also known as the 'paperdoll') was that of a buffed-out, freaky, dreadlock-sportin', snout havin' half-orc. Get it?
