Make Your Own Character

I don’t know how viable this would be, just sounded like a kind of cool option. Kind of like KOTOR, or perhaps SWTOR, you can pick your race/faction/gender/appearance/class, all with a bunch of preset options, and you can choose what sort of abilities you would want to level up from certain ability trees or something. Like if you wanted to be a buffer you could invest in certain buffs, or a dps/tank/cleanser/healer/debuffer. Probably would never happen, but it’s fun to dream.

  • so either the options to customize will be so poor that no one will use this feature... or that the options are so great that the game balance goes straight out the window (probably w p2w options)..... so yeah... unlikely.
  • I really like this idea. The possibilities are endless. Each account gets one character with choice of gender, species,etc... On the back end, gear sets are determined by role. Each one gets a basic special or two and a unique. They could be pre determined or perhaps there's an a la carte option. Lots of potential here.

    I know it would be hard to plan out something like this, and those are two extremes that would be really hard to balance. But, idk, if they ever could figure it out, it would be fun.

    I know! If I remember correctly, I heard a dev interview one time on youtube, and I think it was Carrie, who said she'd worked on RPG's in the past. I wouldn't be surprised if more devs have worked on RPG's as well. And what's the most fun part of playing an RPG? Making and designing your own character.
  • I can see it now. Thousands of OMG I fat-fingered the wrong thing, my phone lagged...so many ways to explain away bonehead decisions and beg EA/CG to fix it for u.

    90% of these would be posted in General Discussion, they would be moved and more crying would ensue.

    Not like it would be any worse than :

    I am too lazy, plz look at my toons and make a team for me.

    Or...

    Am I strong enuf to get whoever.

    Whatever happened to trial and error or personal creativity anyways ?

  • I would put Ezra's head on Gammroean Guard's body, Sion's arms and NS Zombie's legs. Nightmare indeed.
