Your face will most likely be obscured by a helmet anyway, so it’s an option many people just ignore. Overall, Dark Souls really isn’t about the character you create, but mostly the build you create with the character. After you collect a few weapons and start leveling up, you’ll most likely be in a different build than your original class. Whichever class you choose, it will help you through the beginning stages of the game. There are other class options such as Deprived, which are for the most hardcore players and speedrunners. You have an option to choose a burial gift which has the potential to make your playthrough much easier if you choose the correct items. There is a class system at the beginning of the game, though your build will most likely change during the course of your playthrough. Granted you’ll spend the majority of the time looking undead, but as a human, you don’t look much better than that I’ll be quite blunt here: Dark Souls characters look hideous. You can choose from a few different character models, and customize some of their features, but that’s about it. Dark Souls character customization is pretty bare bones.
