character creation?

[gamester5]

will there be any character creation or gender selection in the game or just a premade character?

[Sparhawk122]

Premade character. This allows for more personal and better story telling. Just like Bioshock, Control, Dishonoured etc...

[StoneyWoney]

Just a premade character? JUST?
premade > customized

Sorry. Set protagonist.

[gamester5]

well that is a bit sad, though the game does look interesting. just hope one day a game with bioshock like weapons and abilities along with character selection or creation will come out.

Oh ?

Does Bioshock, Control and Dishonored (in the second game you can choose to play a female character) have more personal (whatever it even mean) and better story telling than Prey, Cyberpunk 2077, Deus Ex, Unavowed, Fallout New Vegas, Jedi Knight - Jedi Academy, Mass Effect, and almost any CRPG ? Not in my opinion.

I mean, there are mods to play Deus Ex or Breath of the Wild with female characters and those mods doesn't change the story at all.

Does the story telling change if you allow players to change the facial feature such as lip thickness or eye colors or the hair cut and color of the playable character ? I don't think so.

What are you on about?

Do you whinge about Tomb Raider, Control, Horizon: Zero Dawn, Hall Blade etc not having a male character option?

[Vechernyaya]

I'm not whinging, I'm proving that your argument about storytelling and premade protagonists is a fallacy

♥♥♥♥ the premade sh1t, wont buy.

Couldn't even work a simple character creator, disappointing.

This game doesn't have a 3rd person view, why do you care what gender is the main protagonist?

Yes, there is, during cinematics, the game switch to 3rd person view.
There is also body awarness and voiceover, and possibly mirrors and reflections and maybe drones or camera system that can film you. And NPC will address you with masculine pronouns.

Messaggio originale di Jillas ⁧⁧🐰:

The character is your avatar. In a movie you watch characters do things while in a video game, you do things with the character you control, you are not passive and the character is the extension of yourself in the game's world.

Nah. Absolutely not the case for me. The character is part of the story I enter. I walk the path of the character, not the other way around. I imagine myself being someone else. That's what games are about for me. When I want to be me, I can just stay in the real world.

And when I have choices in a game, I choose those most fitting for that character, not what the real me would do. Even in the most sandboxy games I take on a persona that I want to play.
