In case no one caught it during the recent dev live stream, they briefly discussed the possibility of adding in a character creation and customization aspect into the game if we, the community, supported the idea enough. I am all for it as it allows us to have our own individual characters and looks that we wanted.
Now, I personally don't care to have a super in depth and highly detailed character creation system, nothing near the level of something like baldurs gate, fallout or other similar games. But! It at least should have the basics like gender, skin tone, facial features. Hair styles and facial hair.
As for the customization, I'm mainly talking about clothing and camo. The devs could have fun with it by having NRG brand camo patterns, inspired by IRL patterns like mossy oak bottom lands, Sitka first lite, real tree, etc etc. that way there's no stress of needing to go through a partnership or licensing to use IRL branded products. And it can be as simple as selecting via hat, shirt/jacket/pants/boots/gloves.
Again, this is just a rough idea. One that, with your guys brainstorming and suggestions, could definitely be brought into the game.

I know they're not traditional camo patterns but I really like Kryptek.

I would appreciate the ability to have some character customization beyond clothing - wouldn't need to be super in depth - a few different presets with different genders/skin tones would be more than adequate for a game like this.

Something like Medieval Dynasty character creation. Maybe even a bit more basic than that shouldn’t be too difficult/resource heavy. We just don’t want to see the same person in everyone’s trophy pictures.

I'd be satisfied with just a simple male/female model with just a few different clothing options.

I agree I hate playing a game where I cannot be my gender which is a woman
