The Division character creation video has so many neck tattoos

Now that The Division's servers are live, players are creating agents by the hundreds and dropping into Ubisoft's ambitious post-epidemic shooter. But if you (like me) are jealously waiting for your copy of the game to unlock at midnight EST, then you can at least let the early risers take you through a tour of all the character customization options. You might notice a distinct lack of sliders...

It may sound disappointing if you were hoping for minute creative control over your character's appearance. I'm ok with it, but I barely ever futz with sliders these days. You're going to spend a lot of your time with a beanie and gas mask on anyway, so maybe it's better not to get too invested in your agent's visage.

I got a BA in journalism from Central Michigan University - though the best education I received there was from CM Life, its student-run newspaper. Long before that, I started pursuing my degree in video games by bugging my older brother to let me play Zelda on the Super Nintendo. I've previously been a news intern for GameSpot, a news writer for CVG, and was formerly a staff writer at GamesRadar.
