I spent 30 minutes alone deciding what skin color, eye color, and tattoos I should have for my tiefling lmao

I usually take a long time in character creation, but it doesn't get multiple hours long even if I'm particularly bored with The Sims and trying to kill time.

Baldur's Gate took me just over two entire irl hours because there were very few bad options for me to narrow it down with. I've never seen a game with a bunch of tattoos that actually had good tattoos, and I was trapped between three eye colors that all worked but all had a subtly different feel.

Thankfully, I'm very attached and I absolutely adore what I came up with by the end of it (elf druid leaning into a pleasant nature look), but that was the best kind of hell.
