Captain's Face in the Mirror?
 
I realize it was just a movie (intro?) but it got me thinking. Since it's gonna be a true FPS kind of interface this time around, are we going to have a an actual body with a face for our avatar that we can see our face in a mirror? If so, then will there be a vanity mode ala Oblivion/Fallout 3 where we can go to third person? And furthermore, is face customization something that's possible.\? I realize these things are probably not in the game and it's too late implement them but it does open up possibilities immersion-wise for these types of games.

If custimizing weren't an option, id love to see a progression of fatigue in the face.

For instance in your first patrol your clean shaven and full of life, a few months later, you have beard and have that tired look in your eyes.

I think that was just for looks...:yep:

Your probably right. Anyway, provided they give us the proper features missing from SH3, I'll be pleased as punch with just a full 3d boat and a handfull of soundbites from the crew.

Still, it would be awesome if we could create a captain as our character, in much the same way as it is done with RPGs

Well, how the captain appears, is the least of my worries with SHV.
personally i think a 3rd person camera would be a nightmare in the confined space of a WW2 submarine.

I agree but I would at the very least like to see my captain (me) on the bridge when I go into free camera mode.

True. You could incorporate a few stats too, such as coolness under pressure, presence, charisma - and these could develop as you go along in your career. Perhaps if your "Coolness Under Pressure" stat was low, under a prolonged depth charge attack, the orders could be delayed, or the camera could become distorted as your Captain started to panic.

The same with Charisma and Presence. High ratings in these mean you can keep better control over your crew when under attack or in tense situations.

He was looking at the mirror at an angle. How was it he was in the mirror?
