The Initiation Station
Thinking about Saints Row 2 reminded me that I’d tried out the Initiation Station too..
The Initiation Station is the character creation suite for Saints Row: The Third, available to all, regardless of whether you’ve got a pre-order in for the game or not. I played around with this rather a lot, with tears running down my face at some of the options, before settling on a normal-looking character to upload..
Purple overload? Of course! I have a great excuse for this game too, because purple is the Saints’ colour 😀
The Initiation Station has improved a great deal on the customisation available in Saints Row 2, with more individual sliders rather than categories for body size and shape.. including the “sex-appeal” setting which basically just enlarges boobs or crotch. There are loads of hair colours and styles, make-up, tattoos, and of course clothes.. including some weird-looking bondage gear, furry and superhero outfits.. and the option to go without clothes if you should wish.. though things will be blurred 😉
Unlike in Saints Row 2, you start off with your choice of clothes rather than the prison jumpsuit.. as in Saints Row: The Third, your character and the Saints have the run of the city.. you start at the top. I better get there first, and complete Saints Row 2!
