I try to create a character like me on the 1st playthrough, then subsequent playthroughs random or specialized characters
When you create a character...
- Thread starter gbemery
- Start date
I usually try to make one that's decent looking, especially if I have to see the character very often when I play.
I always do one of two things.
A)Base the character on a pre-existing character from a book, movie, comic, game, or anime if the design option makes it plausible. Most commonly, I will use Lina Inverse from Slayers.
B)If the game allows you to pick options of being heroic or bastardly, I make a sexy girl who is a total *****, or an effeminately sexy guy who's a goodie-goodie.
(I'm a girl & pretty much only play RTSRPGs & combat city builders).

OT: I usually try to make a character that looks about like me.
i usually look at the character styles and options and then go with whatever of my roleplaying characters i feel like being at the time. This also applies to how i play as the character. good vs evil and whatnot.
*deep breath* I usually try to make the goddamn prettiest character I can, down to the reasonable hint of red/blue hair. So I basically Mary Sue-ise my character. There, I said it.
But I figure, hey you know what, I'm gonna spend 100+ hours staring at a character('s behind), so I might as well make them eye candy.

I try and make myself and failing that Joseph Stalin. The funniest/ugliest character I ever helped create was when I kept giving my friend bad advice when he was making his Saints Row 2 character. He ended up with a white dude in black face who talked all street that he promptly dubbed night n*****. Running around with gangsters dressed as pimps and ho?s who had the jig as the gang sign never stopped being funny.
I tend to create completely ridiculous and ugly characters as well. I'm certainly not going to model them after myself, that would be just awkward (although Mii's are still abstract enough to make this not bother me).
So when the Emperor said "I've seen you in my dreams" he really meant nightmares, right? Poor guy... XDDiablini said:
It's actually possible to make a good looking character in Olivion. My sister tweaked and messed around a lot with the options until she got a pretty blond chick. It sure took a hell of a long time, but it's possible. If you've got a monstrous amount of patience, that is...
Well, first I ask myself why I'm making the character- what do I intend to do with it? What kind of experience do I want to come away with, after playing it?
From there, I discern what character concepts/archetypes would apply. And then I level/advance the character according to the concept.
Although, sometimes I'll change the character's specialization halfway through. Sometimes the interesting bits aren't immediately apparent.

I stopped farting about with the character editor after Saint's Row 2. At least I put effort into it...tried to make my dude look cool. He pulled off the black and neon purple cornrow topknot pretty well, imo. Topped off with that pseudo-British-Whateverthefuck accent and a whole wardrobe of nothing but black, purple and gold, he was pretty awesome imo. Too bad my laptop has pathetic RAM.
The only other game I messed around with was Oblivion, and then I would try to make the ugliest character possible. Made a lizard look like a murloc. Fun times.
And playing Fallout 3 on a console made fiddling with the sliders a long and boring process, so I just picked a face, hair, and rolled with it.
