Fantasy game art from Tradewinds Odyssey . There are only a few types of ships, but each is carefully illustrated with colourful and ornate fantasy art.

Fantasy game art from Tradewinds Odyssey . As in Tradewinds 2 and Tradewinds Legends , Odyssey has a random character portrait generator for both characters encountered in-game and "open play" (no-story gameplay) characters (for which the generator can also make a name by putting together name elements from a database). The character portrait generator works by starting with the basic variables of Gender, Nationality, and Body Type. Different combinations of these have different access to additional Features--Dress, Lips, Hair, Eyes, Nose, Beard, Decoration.

Tradewinds Legends uses a portrait randomizer to create fantasy-style portraits for non-playable characters encountered in-game, as well as for characters for its "open play" mode (where you play the game without following any particular storyline). The random character generator creates characters by choosing facial features from a database of artwork. The variables are Class, Gender, Nationality ( African , Arabian , Chinese , Indian , and Magical ), and Career, and these constrain the availability of various elements. At a glance it may seem that the game can crunch out an infinite variety of random character portraits. But while you can generally keep clicking the "New Character" button until something appears that appeals to you, sometimes, the randomizer just wasn't given enough content for a particular combination of Gender, Class, Nationality, and Career.
