Character Creation and Choice in RPGs

<p>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&rsquo;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&rsquo;s a lot of different approaches to it in gaming.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>In The&nbsp;<em>Elder Scrolls Oblivion</em>&nbsp;for example, a character will be suggested to you by the way you conduct yourself during the opening dungeon, or in&nbsp;<em>Fallout 3</em>&nbsp;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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>The<em>&nbsp;Dark Souls</em>&nbsp;games are interesting because they don&#39;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.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/backrooms-gaming/character-creation-and-choice-in-rpgs-689ca1e996fa"><strong>Click Here</strong></a></p>
