Funcom's Enhanced edition overhaul for Conan Exiles arrived this week with a visual upgrade that caught players' attention for one specific reason. the studio expanded the game's character customization slider for male genitalia, letting players dial up anatomical proportions beyond previous limits.
The decision reflects Funcom's philosophy on player agency in its survival sandbox. The studio prioritizes letting players shape their characters however they want, including exaggerated or absurd options. The endowment slider generated considerable buzz online, but Funcom views this as no different from any other customization feature. Players engage with character creation tools to express themselves, whether that means towering physiques, unusual proportions, or in this case, comedic anatomy sliders.
The Enhanced edition represents a broader visual refresh for the 2018 survival game. Unreal Engine improvements drive sharper graphics, better lighting, and performance enhancements across PC and consoles. Conan Exiles has maintained a dedicated playerbase since launch, and Funcom continues supporting the game with meaningful updates rather than abandoning it for newer projects.
This update positions Conan Exiles as a game unafraid of its own absurdist humor. The series has always leaned into Conan's pulpy sword-and-sorcery aesthetic, complete with lingerie armor and over-the-top character designs. The enhanced slider simply extends that philosophy into character creation itself.
The free upgrade ensures existing players gain visual improvements at no cost, while the Enhanced edition serves as the entry point for new players on all platforms. Funcom's willingness to include the expanded anatomical customization without censoring it demonstrates confidence in its audience. The feature won't sway purchase decisions for most players, but it signals the studio's commitment to creative freedom in character expression.
