Can we please change our guardians' appearance after creation?

I know this isn't really a serious issue for the game right now and there's a very plain workaround for a lack of re-customisation if you're not sentimental (though I think many players are), but not having the ability to change a character's race/gender/facial features after creation has been a long-standing nagging pain point throughout this whole franchise's lifespan. Having to vault everything, manually delete a character, and start over from scratch is an irritating inconvenience and an oddly long way to have to go just to change a character's appearance. It's like trying to use a massive cinder block just to hammer a single nail. The desire for this feature got even stronger following the launch of Beyond Light when character facial features were altered slightly as a side effect of the updated coding behind facial customisation. I imagine there's a ton of players out there, myself included, who are dissatisfied with their guardians' updated 'new' looks following these game engine changes and want to be able to tweak things without deleting characters we've invested hundreds of hours into. Personally I think this is a feature that should've been in the first Destiny AND Destiny 2 from launch, and I've always been holding out hope that [b]*some day*[/b] this might actually be implemented.

  • I would really appreciate a editable character screen after the initial creation. Especially seeing as Bungie is going in the direction of your sublass being locked behind hours of sidequests, expansion story levels, and all that(as evident by BL). Before Beyond Light, yeah sure it was nothing to vault stuff delete and restart cause you have all your subclass stuff right away upon creation. But now, if I were to redo my Hunter I'd have to replay the Beyond Light campaign, and redo all the side steps to get my aspects back. I really don't want to do that. Just no. So if Bungie continues with the aspects/fragments way of doing things then yeah I really think we need a recustomizable character option. Saves so much time waisted on replaying stuff just to get the characters back to where they were.
