Customizing

Customizing

The amount of options to customize your character, clothes, cars, and gangs is just plain sick! This is not a small set of selectable choices, it is an immense system for creating countless combinations.

This takes the notion of “play it your way” and jams it full of easy tools to give the game a personalized feel that each player is in complete control of. As an added incentive to experiment with different options, anything you purchase for customization earns you a small amount of respect that is used to boost your rank.

Character

The character creation system enables you to make a completely unique virtual representation in the game world. The options are dizzying and your imagination is pretty much the only restriction. You can craft a very good likeness of yourself, a celebrity, or any of your favorite characters.

The best part is that after your initial makeover, you can go to the shop Image by Design and completely rework your character at any time.

Not only can you determine how your character looks, you can also change their personality, including their voice. There are seven different voices to play around with and each one has its own style and unique lines of dialogue.

If you’re up for something out of the norm, try the zombie voice for hilarious groaning responses. There is even a feature to upload and download your character to the community site. This chart illustrates just the top-level options at your disposal for customizing you character.

Clothes

It seems like a tragedy to throw clothes on that finely crafted body you just made, but once you check out the options it hard to resist playing dress-up with some of the crazy combinations.

There are tons of choices to cover your character from head to toe, including accessories like piercings and jewelry. Yet, there is no requirement to wear anything, so you can stroll around fully decked-out or stripped down naked. Most of the clothing shops are Planet Saints that were inspired by your gang and feature hip gangster clothing.

However, there are three speciality shops—Nobody Loves Me, Let’s Pretend, and Leather and Lace—that offer some unique apparel. Here is a sample of the various options for styling your character.

Vehicles

You can’t expect the Saints to roll around in a standard, off-the-lot car. This gang is oozing with style and you need to pimp their rides to match.

Pull into any Rim Jobs or use your garage feature at your crib to put some cool and useful mods on your vehicles. Not all vehicles can be modified, and there are different tweaks for bikes and cars. Also, different classes of car even have different customization options.

Gang

There are three options for customizing your gang sign, and vehicles. The sign options are the same for your character and members of your gang. These are taunts that your gang members will pull off when they feel cocky.

As you complete the Campaign and Activities you can unlock styles to increase your list of choices for each of the four style slots. Also, as you take over Strongholds you will be able to customize your followers to look like the rival gangs. Vehicles has three slots for you to pick the specific cars you want your crew to drive around the city.

Tattoos

One final touch to make your character your own is to add some ink. Stop by any of the Rusty’s Needle tattoo shops to pick some art for your head, neck, back, chest, arms, and legs. Getting a tattoo isn’t a serious commitment, as tats can be removed as easily as they are added. This allows you to experiment with different combinations and continue to alter your character with no regrets.
