Character Creation and Choice in RPGs

People love character creation in videogames. Often a person will spend up to about an hour creating their character in youtube videos, talking about hy thy’re putting points into this stat or that, but this character creation screen is usually a one time thing. Some players can also even rush through it. Because of this, there’s a lot of different approaches to it in gaming. You would think by now here would be one type of character creation which is the best, most standardised way to do it; but the approaches can still be very different. In The Elder Scrolls Oblivion for example, a character will be suggested to you by the way you conduct yourself during the opening dungeon, or in Fallout 3 there is the G.O.A.T test where you answer a multiple choice questionnaire . These are ways the developers have tried to make the character creation aspect of RPGs understandable to players. JRPGs will often forgo it this entirely, giving you pre-set types of classes with personalities. Or they will offer a job system, where classes can be changed on the fly. The Dark Souls games are interesting because they don't explain to you what each stat does or what the best items are to travel with on your journey, there can be a lot of trial and error, and this is part of the experience. <a href="https://medium.com/backrooms-gaming/character-creation-and-choice-in-rpgs-689ca1e996fa">Click Here</a>
