All character creation options in Enshrouded

To begin with, Enshrouded’s character creation system lets you pick from a range of male and female body presets. Once done, you can choose a hairstyle, hair color, beard style and color, and voice type. You can also give your character a name of your choice. Here’s a clip showcasing all the available character creation options:

For my character, I chose the following options:

Note that I didn’t choose a beard type or color for my character, but there’s no restriction to which hairstyle, beard type, or colors you can choose for a preset. While there are multiple styles, it might not seem enough for those looking for more intricate options. If you’re wondering, it’s unknown whether Keen Games plans to add more character creation options to the game.
