I've been tinkiering with the appearance of the arisen, god some are scary looking, all I want is a decent looking character, I prefer to play as Women, cause looking at a guy's backside as he runs just doesn't apeal to me.
And wow those cut scenes make you look like Mr. Bill....

Anyone have the presets for a decent looking Arisen?

What's "decent looking" to me might be butt-ugly to you and vice-versa. Need more information.

anything that doesn't look like a mutant, I'm willing to try the recomendations at least once, if I don't like it I just won't use it.

Still not enough information, so I'm just going to leave you with this:

You're never going to overcome that, no matter how awesome looking you make your character. It's down to the animation system, not how the character looks static. They all do that. ALL of them.

I will refer to how I made my female pawn since my main character is based on myself (I have no problems with seeing his bum- I simply don`t notice and he wears armour and usually a huge cape). Would`ve been nice if there was a 1st person view though.

1st off, take your time, there are many, many options. Have an idea what you want in your mind. But if you can`t do that get a picture of a pretty girl and have it in front of you as you choose head shape, eyes, etc. It will take you up to 2 hours if you really care to do it right, even longer if you really, really try.

The only thing that can`t really be much changed are her boobs if you want something a bit larger. You can make what looks like a 10 year old flatchested girl but you can`t do a full boobed woman?? Weird.

Also the game has one bad flaw in that once you make the character perfectly, it looks not quite the same in game so you have to go back. I find making the proportions thinner in character creation makes them look better in game. Also there`s a mod that lets you re-edited your character on the fly so it`s best to install that. It`ll let you change the look of your character without restaring the game every time. I`ll see if I can find it.

I`m an artist so I love customising my game characters squeezing every bit out. Good luck.
