I don’t know about you, but I love a great character creation segment before getting into any RPG or MMORPG. Don’t rush me; let me soak in options, debate choices, and carefully craft a character that will ultimately step out into this exciting fictional world!
I think both Guild Wars 2 and Villagers & Heroes have absolutely terrific character creators in this regard, going above and beyond merely asking for name, class, and looks. I actually got to know my characters’ backgrounds, learned about their preferences, and made a few choices that would have an impact in the game itself. That’s how it should be, in my opinion.
Have there been any MMO character creators that really impressed you? Which game has the best one?
Every morning, the Massively Overpowered writers team up with mascot Mo to ask MMORPG players pointed questions about the massively multiplayer online roleplaying genre. Grab a mug of your preferred beverage and take a stab at answering the question posed in today’s Daily Grind!
