How important is character creation and customisation?

MWEB GameZone Writes: "Creating and customizing a character is a key aspect to some gamers while others have minimal interest in spending a hour or two on their avatar's cosmetic look.

Having the option to create and customize a character brings out individuality, strengthens diversity in a game and gives flavor to MMO worlds, which is of the utmost importance. How important is character creation and customization to you?"

Very important for me, but im not going to spend hours on it, unlike my wife who is very willing to spend 4+ hours making a character to only play it for a hour or two :)

Sillicur4220d ago

Hahaha i have done that too sometimes. Once made a character in guildwars, walked around for a hour. Saw another starting character that looked cooler.

So I felt bad about mine and remade!!! :)

* It's important in that it adds a ton of replay value.

Dev's never seem to understand this or get it's importance, but it DOES matter, at least for a lot of people.

* More options = more ways to customize how I want to play.

* They end up focusing 30% of the game on some dumb feature they spent money on, when they could have just spent that time giving us hundreds and thousands of options of customization.

* Customization is sometimes the reason people are playing a game years down the road.

The only game i don't create is Mass Effect.Standard shepard with a scar to toughen him up is how i role.

It depends on the game. Certain games need custom builds, others are central to certain characters only.

I like to see patterns, colors and unique things in my items and characters. Feels good during certain time.

Also, call me impressed for the last video available in the peace, it's a very detailed editor, including the models.

Sillicur4220d ago

That video looks super impressive hey. I wonder how difficult it will be to achieve the vision of a character someone has in mind.

It's one of the most enjoyable features in an RPG/MMORPG. Also, one of the most important. I can't wait to see how character customization will look in Inquisition

Sillicur4220d ago

Agreed, very enjoyable feature. Which game did you enjoy the character customization the most?

contradictory4220d ago

depends on the game really..
in MMORPG'S and just MMO's in general it's pretty must have feature IMHO

i've been looking for an MMORPG recently actually and i'm torn between FF XIV and Guild Wars 2

Sillicur4220d ago

Hmmm for me personally i would choose Guild Wars 2, just because of the game constantly evolving the way it is and being buy-to-play :)

skydragoonity4220d ago

Very important for me also, I wish every game gave you the opportunity to use the stock character or to create yours
