Character name, face, voice, etc

Weapon/Armor degradation?

That may be a topic we should talk about in another thread
I think its not good to have a set name, too
cause I wanna come up with my own creative name in a rpg
and I’m not sure if you can alter the face of your character, but I would be happy if you can do so

Maybe I am mistaken but from what I read so far you are mistaking this game for something it’s not. I could be wrong of course.

Anyways here is some more “cool” armor.

You make me feel old. I thought this when I was a kid.
You may realize later in life that having options is not always good thing (at the very least it is scientifically proven that too many options make your head hurt). The thing is that I can completely accept not having an option from start, but I can’t justify skipping an option if I have it.

I also feel that you fail to see that you aren’t robbed of option, but you are given different set of options. You are given something that may guide you to have much more complicated and three dimensional character than traditional rpg character creation does. Most of characters I see people create in such games are either flat, partly a copy of themselves and in part just plain crazy. There is nothing wrong with this, but the games with set main character often encourage people to think more about the individual decisions later in game (Halo, Mass Effect, Witcher). I also feel that the character creation can sometimes interrupt the game-flow early and during times where the fluidity of game experience is most important. Another good reason for set character is that letting player set a name may lead to the NPCs having difficulty to address the player character. In Czech it is extremely painful as my answer to “what is your name” and the way other people address me is different, when a game attempts this it can be even immersion breaking and poses significant problems to voice acting.

Did you have to make a new thread with just quotes? Maybe you should give an introduction on the issue in this thread.

Yeah, I kind of messed that up. I posted a comment I realized would better serve as the opening to a new thread, when I deleted the original and tried to post it here, it told me my comment “was to close” to something you have recently posted, so I re commented it on the other thing, and now this thread is pointless:P

and now this thread is pointless

So then I’ll close it. We have no space for pointless threads… I guess… Please comment the existing thread and if you have issues with commenting on threads (e.g. unable to reply) you can ask @TobiTobsen for help, if needed.

I’m closing the thread now.
