The Surge 2 doesn't have the robust customization tools that many RPGs have, but it still allows players to create a fairly interesting and unique persona to play through the game. Seemingly the only question is regarding the The Surge 2 character creation system is, then, if it's possible to change your character's appearance after the game?
Alternatively, does any part of the Surge 2 character creator make any difference to the game itself? When you're choosing a background to your characters, does that change things during the game at some point? We'll do our best to answer.
Can you use The Surge 2 character creation after the start and change your appearance?
The biggest question is whether you can alter your character's appearance and change outfits after the beginning of the game. Sadly, at the moment the answer is a resounding 'no'. While many RPGs give you an option to customise your character later, that's not the case in The Surge 2. Once you've chosen your character's default appearance it stays that until the end of the game, unless it gets patched in later. Sorry.
The Surge 2 character creation - what are the backgrounds and are they important?
When customising your character at the start, there are the following backgrounds to choose from:
- Mining Wars Veteran
- Search and Rescue Officer
- CREO-Certified Heavy Operator
- CREO-certified Field Technician
- Former Arms Smuggler
- Corporate Middle Manager
</ul>
Since your character isn't really a distinct character, in the way you are in most RPGs, these character backgrounds mean very little in the grand scheme of things. It's possible some NPCs in the world may make note of it, but mostly these backgrounds seem to just add a bit of colour.
