11-Beta testers noted the customization was "pretty lacking" compared to expectations, particularly the narrow skin tone range. HoYoverse's post-beta DevTalk confirmed expanded options are coming: additional appearances, clothing, accessories, and other customizable features.

2020 How Attributes Affect Gameplay

2222 Attributes primarily gate dialogue options. An NPC interaction might offer a Strength-based response that forces a door open, a Charisma response that talks a guard around, or an Intelligence response that spots a hidden mechanism. Higher attribute values unlock more options, giving players different approaches to the same situations.
