Hello escapists
I was thinking about character customisation the other day, and wondered what people thought about making ugly/funny characters. Usually I don't bother because I find it ruins a games immersion, and at the end of the day if I make a stupid character, it may be funny for a while, but I will enjoy the game more if I find the main character cool.
Whenever I play with friends we always have to make the most hideous character possible, because my friends always find that funny. But customisation is one of my favourite things in gaming, and left to my own devices I will spend over an hour making the best looking character possible. I will make stupid looking characters, but only after I have finished the game. I have never finished a game as one of these guys though, because I lack the immersion I require to want to finish the game with something stupid.
The only exception is my Dark souls guy, and that was mostly due to the character creation being crap in dark souls. He also had a helmet on for most of the time, and even without it he was usually hollowed so he sort of looked like a walking raison. When human he looked like a pretty average guy, but he looked a bit surprised and had a pretty thin head, with a sharp chin and nose.
What are your thoughts on character customisation? Also please post your best monstrosities, I would do some of mine but they are all on xbox so I cant be bothered sorry. So here's a good one from bioware social......
