You might enjoy this as well, even if the basic background for Arthur is obviously non-negotiable. RDR2 has an extremely robust wardrobe system that allows you to inhabit a variety of archetypes for Arthur. Sticking with the same gear from the very beginning removes a lot from these games that I would say most people really like. But, like, an essential mechanic to these kinds of video games are discovering and upgrading your equipment. I guess I could see texture editors being used to create armor or shields with your own designs on them. But I just don't really see how a game could, in an interesting way, allow you to write your own main character and represent those details on screen. You're then meant to imagine your own backstory as you see fit (a royal who avoided execution in Latria, the lone survivor of a slaughtered fishing village, etc). I can't really envision the system that would be required for the game to fully codify your D&D character sheet or OC.Дemon's Souls and Bloodborne both give you character classes that give you basic prompts of who your character was before the story began. I can't say I connect with or even fully understand your request here. Nothing crazy, just want to feel more involved with my character than being a black knight cosplayer who slayed a dragon.

'So, what does the priestess boar seek here?' 'Ah, you are the lone lion from beyond the fog' An extra few lines of line reading is all I'm asking for. Whether the game provides you with a custom 'sticker' layer system or has you choose between a dozen or so crests and maybe how you align with that symbol (high born, exiled, lone survivor, knight, etc) and you'll be greeted as such by certain npcs upon seeing your mark. My suggestion: Create some type of marking unique to you. Status quo: Choose a class, create your character, start in rags, find armor sets throughout the game, and never feel 100% unique. Unique armor only found in chests at the end of dungeons are still cool though. Have me start in rags, but let me eventually get my own custom armor that is unique to me and not a dead guy that looked cool. It seems like such a kick in the face that your hero is just doing cosplay of whatever look you fancy.Д¬an I get a game that let's you create your own legend and look? A previous thread I made of this topic had folks telling me I should look into character action games but that isn't it. You typically start in some rags and collect gear from fallen foes that look cool and ultimately buy the kits of bosses you defeat from merchants. I've longed to be my OWN hero on these quests. I'll admit, I'm not sure what's in store there but I can probably guess based on past titles. With the Elden Ring gameplay vid out, I've once again gone back to what bugs me about these types or games.
