  I think every game should have a customizable player character.

    You’re getting downvoted but I agree, to an extent. If it’s an RPG telling a grand story, and not an individual piece dedicated to a unique individual, then yes.

    Same. Dunno why the downvotes.

      I didn’t downvote but I disagree. It is nice to be able to roleplay your own character but I also like having well written established characters

        They don’t have to be mutually exclusive. Mass Effect worked.

      If we’re following rediquette, (if such a thing still exists or can even be applied to Lemmy) downvotes shouldn’t be used on things you disagree with.

        Over time the concept of the downvote lost its meaning, even on Reddit (and that happened a while ago).

        Sadly most people just downvote when they don’t like what you’ve said, not if it’s factually incorrect or misinformation etc.

    Every game feels a bit broad. Even if just for the sake of development, I’m okay with story-focused games having pre-built characters. Especially if we’re not actually meant to like or agree with the character we’re playing as, such as Martin Walker in Spec-Ops: The Line.

      Give me one good reason I shouldn’t be able to have a customizable PC in Tetris.
