FH3 FAQ: Character Personalization

Can I choose or customize my driver?
In this E3 video interview Ralph Fulton mentions 14 different avatar types who are diverse in terms of ethnicity and gender. There is no customization such as clothing or appearance. The “Character Select” tile is located on the Settings tab of the Main Menu. See discussion thread. There is also a tile for “Name Select” which is used by ANNA to refer to you. See discussion thread.

We and Playground looked into deeper character customization, and also conducted surveys to find out how important people thought it would be in a driving game. Turns out tinkering with how their driver character looks was not important to most. However being able to select gender and ethnicity was very important. It’s also a massive investment to make current gen character customization - we felt that was better spent on new car customization options (body kits for example), Auction House, Storefront, Co-Op and a bunch of other things more critical to the experience.

But we definitely wanted to make sure players had some agency in deciding which driver character would represent them in the game (which you can change at any time if you want), so there’s a range of driver characters to choose from that we hope players appreciate.
