Wutobliteration 10/15/19 4:47:09 AM #1:	just to be clear, I'm not racist or anything but I suppose I'm too affected by how much I can relate to an MC when I'm playing. Like I just cant as play Geralt in Witcher given he's kind of look and background but I'm ok playing Skyrim if i can design my own character. Wish I really could just put myself to it.

Wetterdew 10/15/19 6:45:15 AM #12:	I've never rejected a game for feeling unable to relate to the protagonist's design. However I do think character design matters.

Alucard188 10/15/19 8:47:33 AM #16:	Am I only one that refuses to play a game depending on the MC I play as? I'm sure you aren't, but I think you're silly for this. It amazes me that people won't play games like GTA San Andreas because they can't relate to the character they play as. Proofpyros posted... But I am a HUGE sucker for custom characters Same. I typically create female characters. When I was younger, it was because if I'm going to spend all this time watching another character, I might as well enjoy what I'm looking at. Nowadays, that's evolved into female characters having better customization options and me craving content with strong female characters in it.
