Customization[edit | edit source]

After one chooses the gender and race of their character, they will be able to customize them. The player is presented with a number of options for the body, head, and face of the Fugitive. There are a number of preset facial features, such as hairstyles and eye shapes that the player can choose from, as well as face markings. Finishing the customization completes the character creation.
