Cheers! It's really nice to know some folks are still finding this and enjoying it so long after it was posted! :-)

@RedArmyRockstar
Ditto
Best CP. Great depth and bios.

Hi, sorry to say but this no longer works for me. Skin colour and race screw up fairly regularly and some parts straight up don't get used. I've tried a reinstall, game cache verify, delete and re-download, everything I can think of. Any suggestions?

[h1]Hey WoodMan![/h1]

:sectoid: I love to make and customize characters, and your pool is awesome!

I'm playing with it enabled, and as expected, I'm customizing the ones I like the most to better fit my playstyle, integration with my own characters, my aesthetic choices, my own lore/bio changes, etc. I'm thinking about eventually uploading my Character Pool to the workshop, but since it will contain many characters that are customized versions of yours, I came to ask for your permission to do this (or not - then I'll have to filter which ones you created so I'd only upload the ones that are 100% my own :steamsad: ).

So, what do you say? :cozybethesda:

Is this compatible with more backstories mod? Cause I only have my characters in the character pool.

This is no BS the greatest Character pool for XCOM2.
So much depth and detail in every character. This is literally the only CP where i just imported the whole thing because it's just, incredible. almost 2 years after the fact, Bravo.

I always wondered when it comes to character packs like this, what happens when they change armor? Do their clothes get randomized like normal characters, or do they have a set outfit already selected so they keep their good looks over into the next armor sets?

Liking the pool, but it seems there's a tendency to put females in the medic/tech roles.

I wish there was more diversity in the pool with a lot more females in the other classes.

I don't have it installed right now either, so I can't check. I recall that I did have everything from the modlist installed and ocassionally a character would have a missing piece. Its an amazing character pool by the way. Really well done.
WoodMan  [author] 16 Sep, 2018 @ 9:18am 
@Mana: That particular arm relies on a mod from the mod list, perhaps it is missing? I don't have the game installed right now to test it I'm afraid.

@nelVlesis: Thanks very much for the kind words! I'm glad you enjoy them :-)

I must commend you on how creative yet lore-friendly and plausible each character bio is. You're a talented writer and this character pool is a must.
Mana 5 Aug, 2018 @ 3:09am 
I've noticed that "The Professor" is showing up with her left arm invisible.
WoodMan  [author] 15 May, 2018 @ 8:16am 
Thanks James! I had a few ideas down for new characters, but right now I'm playing other games. I might come back and expand it in the future, especially if the rumours of a new expansion turn out to be true.
CyberMagpie 15 May, 2018 @ 7:40am 
Love the pool, I use it all the time. Will it be expanded or another one created? Or will this be it?
WoodMan  [author] 10 Apr, 2018 @ 10:35am 
Cheers Randy!

I spend way more time customizing characters looks than I do actually killing alians. I love this pool, I still change some things on most of them but the characters are very well done.
WoodMan  [author] 22 Feb, 2018 @ 7:28am 
@Scrap - Thx very much, glad you enjoyed it. The SPARKs are some of my favourites too!
@Deck - Cheers, enjoy!
Jess 18 Feb, 2018 @ 2:05pm 
Alright, also, I'd like to say I enjoy pretty much every one of these characters, some are pretty funny.
Ironically I think some of the SPARKs have more character than the human soldiers.
Deckape964 17 Feb, 2018 @ 12:25pm 
Great Man thx ill start a new run and give the entire collection a try !
WoodMan  [author] 17 Feb, 2018 @ 8:59am 
Thanks! @Scrap, Killerkitty & DetroitJones!

@Scrap I'll be sure to make a note of it on the mod description page when I get around to updating it! Cheers!
Jess 15 Feb, 2018 @ 10:39pm 
On first inspection, it seems this mod works in vanilla, the resistance factions seem to just be removed from the ability to import.
Killerkitty641 15 Feb, 2018 @ 11:13am 
Brilliant work WoodMan!
Swords 15 Feb, 2018 @ 6:25am 
This is a great CP, congrats on getting it out there!
WoodMan  [author] 14 Feb, 2018 @ 4:40am 
@Joe & Wulf: Cheers guys! Enjoy your second playthrough, I've yet to complete it yet! Got the first game done on Classic Ironman, always found this one harder!
Silly Serpent 12 Feb, 2018 @ 1:18pm 
This is perfect for my upcoming new campaign for my 2nd playthrough of WOTC. I also happened to have subscribed to almost all of the mods in the collection you recommended :D Looking forward to using these for sure!
Joe 12 Feb, 2018 @ 9:30am 
This is a really nice character pool. Great job!
WoodMan  [author] 12 Feb, 2018 @ 6:40am 
Thanks guys! Glad you are enjoying it!
花兔 12 Feb, 2018 @ 1:37am 
thx
Aegelweard 12 Feb, 2018 @ 12:05am 
Thank you for the mod, sir! I love having pre-set characters.
Kazraan 11 Feb, 2018 @ 8:01pm 
Always love lore friendly troops!

Thanks
Wet Dog Squad 11 Feb, 2018 @ 7:59pm 
I have to say that this has some of the most inspired character designs and backgrounds I've seen in a character pack for this game. Huge kudos, I wish I could pull off half of the effort that obviously went into this!
dotvhs 11 Feb, 2018 @ 5:03pm 
Amazing work. I literally was searching for something like this yesterday. Thank you!
