@trelia said in To Pick a Hero Profile Pic:
@mewmew. I even agree this is low priority compared to working on the game.
I am very much a visual learner and having a picture that has only one link, human, to my idea of who my hero is, creates a slight dissonance with the ideas of who my hero is in my head. Being able to pick the gender, having two pictures to chose from is my suggestion to lessen this. Having more pictures than that is just a wishful thinking.
@Dybuk, That is a good idea. Being able to use the forum avatar would work. Or, if we were able to link a picture hosted elsewhere.
I get what you're saying and all even though my own thoughts on the matter differ. We can't all be expected to have the same feelings towards it
Again I feel it's just a racial representation for seeing what the race sort of looks like so we can get a general idea of what they look like when choosing, and it's not actually supposed to be our hero at all. That said, a single sketch of the opposite gender for each wouldn't be a terribly difficult or unreasonable thing to ask for despite my feelings on the matter.
It's even possible someone in the community would want to draw them up for them. They could even do it as a little contest, having players sketch up the opposite gender for them and giving away prizes to the top people. Of course you'd need to hope that people who are good at that sort of thing see it and enter the contest, but it's a consideration at least.
Letting us use our own picture there sort of defeats the purpose of it showing off what the race looks like. We could put up any sort of fantastical thing that takes you outside of the world and game there. While that's fine for the forums, I don't feel it fits as well for the Foundry. I'm not super against allowing it, but am leaning up against it a bit haha. I wouldn't fight to stop it if they did want to allow it or anything but am sort of hmm, 60/40 against doing that there.
