I have been diagnosed with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and I spent a disproportionate amount of time creating my lieutenant; even though the system is for large part purely cosmetic. In experimenting with the jormsviking system I created my hulking barbaric jormsviking covered in tattoos and with a beard to bring fear to the gods. It was of great surprise to me hours later when I noticed that my jormsviking had changed to a different gender and appearance.
I could not stomach it because the feature seemed so permanent so I replayed the 2 1/2 hours I had spent playing since crafting the character, because it would otherwise color my experience of the game every time I interacted with the feature. It was monotonous but I thought well worth it so it didn't constantly weigh on my mind every time I went raiding or interacted with that portion of the game.
Then it happened AGAIN - this time something like 14 hours in. I sincerely do not want to replay that much of the game for this ostensibly "minor" portion of it, but it constantly weighs on my mind "This isn't your character-this isn't your character- this isn't your character..." and is made worse do to the fact that it is due to no error of mine but of the oft-maligned issues with the autosave system or some other technical issue that has gotten less attention. I was very aware that the game made clear you could not change your jormsviking once created due to my knowledge of my own mental issues and was very careful because of it.
I bring this up because in river raiding, customizing my settlement, and generally returning to camp I am faced with this creation that is not mine, and although I try I cannot seem to move past it. I obsess over the fact that this lieutenant character which is supposed to be uniquely mine has nothing to do with me, and it is terribly distracting from the experience of an otherwise enjoyable game.
I do not want special treatment where I can change my jormsviking lieutenant whenever I want, all I want is the original character I created so I can enjoy the game without the constant distraction of feeling like i should start over at the initial barracks 14 hours ago so I can get the jormsviking I had designed back.
I know it seems small and insignificant for anyone who has never been diagnosed with OCD but it is a real and constant problem for me.
I only ask that I be allowed to revert to my original jormsviking design technology permitting, or if not to be allowed a single redesign (hell even though to me it is clearly a save game issue I would gladly pay money for the privilege [So long as this issue doesn't happen AGAIN] ).
I know VERY well that not being allowed to change the gender/appearance of your jormsviking is a feature not a bug, however it seems my avatar's gender/appearance was changed without my desire or consent. Please help me resolve this issue so I can enjoy the game without a constant mental distraction due to a very personal character appearance being taken out of my control.
Thank you in advance for a fun game and a quick response.
