Do You Always Create Yourself In Games?

I just learned about it today. What is wrong with people?

Usually you see this in the anime/JRPG community a lot when with the choice of male or female avatar they more commonly choose the female. Even tho the character is meant for self insert. Granted if you have cases like Fire Emblem where the male and female from a gameplay aspect in terms of classes, which technically could offer a different experience. Or the case you get a different voice actor and see how they do in emotional scenes.

Tho admittly to me its more weird here since you can fully customize the character. Especially if your character that you make is basically a self insert mute essentially where the only difference is you romance a guy if you play as female. That's kinda

Personally I just rock with the male avatar or just make it like me because that's the whole point from a gameplay design.

Nah I gives a fukk about character creation. I choose the preset that looks the best imo and move on.

Yea most of the time. It's only recently I started making fictional/random people. When games started marketing their character creator in magazines the object was putting yourself I the game so I've more or less followed that ideology since

That’s usually the excuse gamers come up with when they wanna play virtual Barbie

Tried a few times but I'd give up and try to make someone that looks cool/unique or I'm trying to make it look better than the default character model.

While my canon playthroughs are according to my morals and personality I don't try to put myself into these characters on some weird isekai shyt.

[daze23]

nope. too frustrating and time consuming trying to get it right in the character creator. for most recent RPG's I make a punk rock girl

 

[Gizmo_Duck]

This is like the 2nd thread trying to shyt on people for roleplaying in roleplaying games

 

[SupaHotIce]

are you one of dudes that always creates female characters because "if i'm gonna be staring at an ass for hours it might as well be a woman's" you know the type

Thats me.

Unless it's a RPG and I think it's going to have romance options

 

[Marci-Senpai]

I be mad when games don’t have options to create a fat person lol

 

[feelosofer]

It depends on the game. But I'll make someone that deviates from me here or there.

 

[voltronblack]

Yeah I do manly because it's nice seeing a black man be the hero of the story
