Many players want to be able to identify with their character in MMOs. A comprehensive character editor is a great help in designing their avatar to their liking. We want to know from you, who do you actually create?
The character creator plays a particularly important role for many fans of MMORPGs. After all, you plan to spend some time in the game of your choice. Thus, your avatar should meet your personal taste – Because it personifies our gaming self.
In our comments or even in the editorial office, the topic of which type you prefer to create in the character editor often comes up.
- For example, there are men who prefer to play as women because they are attracted to the aesthetic of the female body.
- Delicate women suddenly play massive, brutal ogres and become the absolute opposite of their real self.
- Then there are gamers who let their imagination run wild in the game and simply want to create what isn’t possible in real life.
- Likewise, there are those who create their character in their own image, so they can find themselves in their game.
We want to know: Who or what will YOU become in the game?
Since this topic comes up repeatedly, we wanted to turn it into a small reader survey. Who do you become in games?
Feel free to let us know in the comments what is important to you when creating a character!
I’ll start: I particularly enjoy it when a character creator is extensive and diverse. It’s not so important to me where the eyes or nose are positioned in minute detail.
If the game has different races, I would never play a human. I can already be human enough in real life. I’d rather become a half-dragon or an alien with tentacles. However, I tend to give my characters at least a piece of myself. I prefer to play as female characters and usually give them long, dark hair – just like I have in reality.
I would claim that I unconsciously create myself, but tailored to the respective universe. This way, I can immerse myself fully in the worlds.
What about you?
By the way, Monster Hunter World is supposed to get a particularly extensive character creator – Here you can even create your buddy cat in detail.
