Starfield S Character Creator Seems To Be Inspired By Genetic Engineering
So the sliders in Starfield’s character creator screens are based on a technique called gel electrophoresis. It’s used by molecular biologists to separate differently-sized large complex molecules such as DNA and proteins, by putting them in a gel and running an electric current across it. Here’s an explainer that does a much better, in-depth job than I can. The results make a very distinctive pattern and Bethesda have made use of that in Starfield, to indicate changes to things like hair colour, head shapes, eyes and skin tone....
