[Souplex]

What aboot games like fallout where you can switch to third person? Also; what aboot multiplayer?

 

[Worgen]

in most fps games its pretty worthless altho I am guilty of having some fun playing around with armor in halo3 even tho I dont play it online

 

[Valate_v1legacy]

I like character customization... It's essential to my happyness.

hmm...

well yeah
thats cool of Fallout 3

 

[Sassafrass]

Yay!

Gives you something to make your own.

Or to turn into a lonely, friendless freak of nature.

 

[FallenJellyDoughnut]

If you can't see yourself then whats the point?

everyone ends up in telsa armor with a plasma rifle anyway

I like customizing character even if I don't really get to see them. I play Oblivion in first-person view, and I spent hours creating my characters.
My vote is "Yay, certainly."

 

[Monkfish Acc.]

Yay, of course.
I am a whore for character customisation.

 

[jebus4you]

player customization ftw baby!

 

[L3m0n_L1m3]

Definite yay, I love having defining features rather than just being another soldier model.

 

[TheFacelessOne]

I would say yes, but if you don't see yourself, at all, it's pointless.

If you can see yourself in cutscenes, then yay!

I never wear it. And I don't use Energy weapons.

I'm going with a Nay on this one. No that I don't like character customization I just think that I'd rather have the developer focus their time on bullet effects, collision detection, and overall pacing in an FPS. Plus since you don't really see yourself 99% of the time it's kind of of silly. I'd almost rather customize how the weapons look.

Yeah, but did anyone actually use the 3rd person in Fallout 3? I mean, the camera was so clunky and it barely did shit indoors, making scavenging a chore in trigonometry.

 

[300lb. Samoan]

as much as i dig custom models, they add more problems than they do incentive. i prefer a good set character collection like CS or TF2, where the developer can spend more time focusing on gameplay and engine mechanics.

O RLY? what you got?

Customisation in multiplayer FPS is underused. I know in battlefield and counterstrike you can choose different skins and kits, but I'd like something a bit more personalised than that. Something where you can create your own textures to fit a few blank models.

How big is the overlap between the character customisation fans who play MMOs and have deviantart accounts, and the FPS fans who drink rockstar and shout at their monitors?

EDIT: In Fallout 3 I wore a dustcoat and a hockey mask and I went everywhere with a sawed off shotgun. I died all the time, but I LOOKED AWESOME!
