What does the MC do in this game?

[no_idea_for_a_name]

Can the MC be a member of the attack party or is he/she just a manager of the guild?

Officially no hes just the manager of the guild but there is nothing stopping you from scouting an adventure at the tavern for 2k gold and make an adventurer to self insert or play as the "Guild Master" to facilitate that.

If you give an adventurer the same name as your guildmaster there's nothing stopping you from saying its the same character.

Yeah, but it's not the same. It means that there's no recognition, in the game, of the fact that the MC has done something after combat. This is such a letdown! Why not create a Character focused RPG, where the MC goes from a nobody just entering into a guild and then slowly getting higher ranks, until he/she becomes the guildmaster and then the game keeps going allowing you to actually manage the guild, but also be the party leader during fights?!
By the way, when I say "character focused", I don't mean that it has to be heavy on the narrative side (I would prefer it that way, but it's not strictly necessary), but, at least, if there's an active MC, it'd actually feel like an RPG, instead of just a strategy game, which seems to be what this game actually is.

Your main character is actually quite active in the story though. And they are recognized for all the guild's accomplishments. So if you did what I suggested, it would feel like what you're asking for.

yeah super lame that you cant do it. you can later create one but thats just not the same. wasted potential right there

Because that's not what the game's trying to do

There's a billion "ragtag adventurer becomes strong" stories, there's a sore lack of "adventurer guild manager" games that are actually good

this is true, been looking for this kind of game for years, closest thing I find is that unfinished game Guild of Delenar.

I agree. The whole main character is a super hero thing is boring and cliche. I prefer the way this game approaches the main character. And they feel very critical to the story.

There is recognition in the story of the main character doing things in their role. It just that their role is leader not, not manual laborer.

How fragile and needy are people's egos these days? Self-inserts are the most overdone form of pandering in videogames.
