Okay, here’s my attempt at a blog post, channeling my inner grizzled, experienced gamer, sharing my process:
Alright, so I’ve been diving deep into Cyberpunk 2077 again, and this time, I had a mission: create a character that would make John Wick himself proud. I’m a simple man. I wanted to recreate someone look like my hero, so I decide to give it a shot.
Getting Started: The Basics
First things first, I fired up the game and, of course, started a new playthrough. You gotta choose your Lifepath, right? Now, I went with Streetkid. Feels right for someone who’s gonna be a lone wolf, gunning down anyone in their path. But honestly, any Lifepath works, it’s mostly about the backstory, and that’s my own taste.
Face Sculpting: It’s All in the Details
Then came the real work: character creation. I spent a good chunk of time in this menu. I do not have any experience for this, just pick the ones I thought look good.
- Skin Tone: I picked the second option from the first row. Looks… appropriately pale, I guess.
- Skin Type: 04, the details look the same.
- Hairstyle: * took me sometimes to consider the hairstyle, finally, I found this one. Gotta get that slicked-back look.
- Eyes: 01. I just want a cold-blood killer’s eye.
- Eyebrows: 01, keep them dark and understated.
- Nose: 05. I just wanted a nose looks normal.
- Mouth: 13. I choose a mouth looks thin and firm.
- Jaw: 14. Strong, defined. That’s the key.
- Ears: * special.
- Cyberware: 01.I’m not quite sure if it works, but I decide to turn it off.
- Facial Scars: Off. Because John is a beauty before being a killer.
- Facial Tattoos: *’s unnecessary for our character.
- Piercings: Off. Also unnecessary.
- Teeth: 00. Default teeth are just fine.
- Eye Makeup: Off.
- Lip Makeup: Off.
- Cheek Makeup: Off.
- Blemishes: Off.
I tweaked and adjusted, and slowly, a familiar face started emerging. My John Wick, I think I’m going to enjoy it.
Body Mods: Less is More
For the body, I kept it simple. Male, obviously. I didn’t go crazy with muscle definition, but I didn’t make him scrawny either. John Wick is fit, but he’s not a bodybuilder. I skipped all the extra stuff like tattoos and scars. Let the gameplay do the talking on that front. And well, that is all for my settings.
Wrapping Up
After finalizing all the details, I stepped back and admired my creation. It wasn’t a perfect replica, but it definitely captured the essence of John Wick. And that’s what mattered.
Now, time to unleash this digital boogeyman upon Night City. Wish me luck, choombas! And I think I will stick to play this character a little longer, see if I can play like John Wick.
