The developers have given the option to create your own character based on your likes but the character customization process isn’t in-depth like Cyberpunk 2077. Nevertheless, you can add elements that you like and create your own identity in the game. In this Character Creation Guide, we will take a look at how to customize character in Valheim.<\/p>\n<h2>Valheim Character Creation &amp; Customization<\/h2>\n<p>When you are ready to create a new Character, you have to press on NEW. This option will be present at the bottom of the screen in the right side.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Choose whether you want your Character to have a<strong> Male or Female<\/strong> body<\/li>\n<li>Select the <strong>Skin tone<\/strong> that you want your Viking to have. Use the slider to pick the tone you want.<\/li>\n<li>The <strong>Hair<\/strong> selection gives you various <strong>Hairstyles<\/strong> to choose from.<\/li>\n<li>Pick a <strong>Beard<\/strong> style that you think is appropriate for your Viking.<\/li>\n<li>There’s also the<strong> Hair Tone<\/strong> slider and <strong>Blondness<\/strong> that you can adjust as per your liking.<\/li>\n<li>Lastly, you can pick your <strong>character’s name<\/strong> before they head out on this adventure.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-57121\" src=\"https:\/\/gamertweak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/valheim-character-customization-guide-tips.jpg\" alt=\"Valheim Character Customization\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gamertweak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/valheim-character-customization-guide-tips.jpg 800w, https:\/\/gamertweak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/valheim-character-customization-guide-tips-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gamertweak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/valheim-character-customization-guide-tips-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Rotate your character<\/strong> to see if you are happy with what you have chosen.
