How do you approach character creation? >self insert. >ideal self insert (you but chad or troon etc...)
bald white skinhead named hitler
I was extremely pissed when the outer worlds, a single fricking player game, didn't let me do it
im not even white
mailru games banned nicks containing "Lenin" for some reason
but "Slayer of Yids" was suddently fine
there are 109+ names for the g-d chosen tribe, бpaтaн, they can't ban them all
me but black and muscular so i guess option 2
white dude, max height, max weight, old, bald, grey stache
Last character I made was in Aliens Fireteam Elite and it was some black guy with bleached hair. It felt appropriate for the setting.
Hairstyle
There is a serious lack of games that don't have dreadlocks and the ones that do don't have my length and thickness
So alternatively I just make a female character and name them Snowbunny
are you that fiend who posts bbc here? lmao
only when provoked
so this is the power of inceldom...
i've actually learned a fair bit about incels through posting bmwf couples here
>it's fun and games until it happens to you
>sex and relationships don't exist apparently
>posting wmbf is okay but god forbid vice-versa
>concession via "you can have her"
one anon once rationalised "she's fricked more whites than Black folk" because virtue only means something when it's based on race
it's actually hilarious the mental gynastics you lot perform to sleep at night
Depends on the game and the class. I just make a dude who I feel would fit the setting and my idea of the character. Sometimes I end up making vaguely self-insterty looking characters, sometimes they look nothing like me.
Either an idealized self insert or my ultimate waifu. It depends on how good the character creator is. If both fail I just go with "decent looking guy".
>me with fancier hairstyle
>funny lizard man if available
don't need much else
Self insert first time, well to a point it feels right for the game.
Second time a complete different like female or wacky character, after that I make unusual builds with characters that fit the build.
>cute/sexy girl
or
>cool old guy
Whatever the character creator is better at, if neither then just edgy dude
I just press random once and act like its canon
No you don't.
Self-insert is peak npc behaviour.
Ideal self insert. I do the same thing in my writing.
I always make someone fat as frick
Hit random until I get something vaguely human looking. Remove degeneracy like tattoos, piercings, neon hair or makeup.
It's been so long since I cared about character creation, but I typically just pick the skinniest/slimmest guy that's agile and fast and cool.
And then try to model my face (always fail) in which case I'll make a femboy if I can, and sometimes games will have all the male character only be allowed to be buff or chunky, so I'm then forced to pick a female character which is awkward, but atleast her body type is closer to mine. I then proceed to try and make her as boyish as possible.
That's typically how it goes for moi
This is my Dragons Dogma character when I actually somewhat cared about character creation: (picrel)
Roleplay as a character that fits into the world.
>other
how is making a fitting character "other"? that should be the default
In an RPG with dialogue choices and shit I always make an idealized self-insert.
In any other game with a character creator I just make sexy women.
option 2, troon
Preset 1
>first playthrough
Self insert appearance
>second playthrough
Hawt girl from fiction/i would marry
I create my ideal looking gf. So I can stare at her ass(ets) all playthrough.
I either make a sexy girl or a monster, however 90% of the time it's a girl because most games don't let me play as monstrous races
First playthrough I make me, subsequent playthroughs it's a random toss-up between some character I made up, a character from some other work, some eye candy, or the ugliest sack of shit the character creator will let me make.
Usually I just play around with it a bit until I find something I feel like sticking to. If there's classes involved I'll usually try to make something that fits them.
I make characters from games and movies and try lightly roleplay as them
When I was young I made my ideal. Nowadays I just try to make something hot and cute. I don't even fap to it, I just like to see something that makes me feel.
First time playing: mostly myself
Second time: absolute psycho sexy female
>male
>Fighter
>Sword and shield
>main fur color white
>secondary fur color black
yep it's gaming time
>Default white guy
>Biggest beard
Gaming time
I make what feels setting appropriate and change as few sliders as I can while still departing from the default character look. Often I do this with hairstyles. I pick a preset, change the hair, maybe add a scar or tattoo, and run with that.
>Does the game have a girl worth romancing?
Self-insert
>No romance or all the girls are shit and ugly?
Make a waifu
I try make an old male chad for first playthrough, and if I think the game has skimpy sexy clothing for females my ideal waifu for second playthrough
I only play brown twinks.
I pick a character I think who would be interesting to see go through the game and roleplay thay character to the best of my ability. Like playing a ttrpg.
Mage elf, I always go for the mage elf looks. If they don't have an elf race in their game, I would role the equivalent of that aka thin smart boy.
>Other
I design a character that I feel either fits the supposed world or the type of personality I want to give it should the game allow me a choice there. I can immerse myself in a game but self-inserting to the point where you believe you're that character is weird to me.
For example when I played FFXIV I made a female at the start because I wanted to heal, didn't think too hard about it at the time so thought a girl would fit the whole white mage shit. Once I got tired of that and wanted to focus on tanking or DPS I changed to a guy.
I try to make a character that matches the tone of the game. Serious character for serious games, goofy character for goofy games, sexy character for sexy games.
In multiplayer games I try to go for either over-the-top goofy or subtly cool so I guess that’s my true revealed preference.
press randomizer x times until see decent looking one, then change to white dude if needed.
don't care about character creation at all
