Can we accept that Cameron terrible in this role now?

[Syn]

Honestly the game premise is again entirely ruined by not having character creation.
Please don't come at me with "iT's cANoN" either. It's not like they've done anything with it. Nor should they. This is a game, not an advertisement for the oversaturated Star Wars EU.

[HopefulToad]

No.

If he was terrible then they wouldn't have used him.

But, it's a sequel of a journey of the last jedi who survived the purge...

Yes because the games industry, EA and Disney have *never* made bad decisions. :)

And? We need two games focused on the same guy why exactly?
Did no others survive the purge? Are we fresh out of ideas that we have to get Kyle Katarn but infinitely more boring?

It's about Cal, not some randomly created character.
Not every game is going to be Skyrim/Fallout/whatever.
Accept that some game's stories are based off a specific character created by the writers.

Just because you can only enjoy the pleasures life has to offer from behind some prescribed anime avatar doesn't mean that everyone else is so limited.

I strongly prefer main characters with distinct personalities rather than generic create-a-characters with no personality.

If this game had a generic character creation instead of Cal, I would have been considerably less interested in it.

Yes yes, it's about Cal because it's about Cal. Nice tautology dude.

Yeah cause we're so saturated with those.
When was the last time we had a game like that again?

Yes and that specific character just always has to be exactly one-note doesn't it?
Hell this doesn't even get into human diversity. How about an alien for once?
Star Wars is a vast, VAST universe full of potential but in the end we fall back to the same archetype every time in these games.

He is an incredibly overrated actor. He's bad for the role and to be frank, he looks creepy.

I mean if I had it my way. I would of like to seen someone who isn't as famous as Cameron. He's not a bad actor at all so I understand why they went with him but knowing that I've seen him in a bunch of other stuff doesn't really make it that immersive for me. George Lucas was right about using no name actors to give more immersion.

Created characters can have personality. See for instance Commander Shepard.
On the flipside, set characters can have zero personality. See for instance Gordon Freeman.

It's not an either / or and I'm sick and tired of this myth.

Sounds to me like you want a different game you should go to the EA forums and give them ideas cause I don't think you can do much about this one now its already a story that is written and being told.

Obviously I can't do anything about this one.
All I can do is express my disappointment and point out that Jedi Academy did it right all those years ago.

As an aside, Jaden Korr had 1000 times more personality than Cal Kestis. Just saying.
