Arthur Morgan, Geralt of Rivia, Ellie Williams (bet you didn't know that was her name, eh?) can't be created by us because their portrayal and finer details are key to what their games want to say. I love character creators but the industry is moving away from them as it strives to tell stories driven by human nature. I don't like to go in for hyperbole, especially when the game isn't fully out and we can't see the characters in action, but the bar isn't really that high. It's worth noting that the version I played wasn't fully complete - the only hairstyles I could access seemed to be the default head options, and there are significantly more clothing options in the full game - but this already feels like it could be my favourite character creator ever. Related: Saints Row's Character Creator Needs To Be Backed Up By A Transgender Worldīoss Factory feels exactly like the character creators of The Third and 4, but also like a considerable upgrade. For some reason, it was advertised by two women who both worked for a sex chat line calling each other to discuss how there were too many straight white men in games, but despite (or more likely, because of) this, it piqued my attention.
Way back when, my first taste of the series was Saints Row: The Third, which also had a character creator available for free beforehand.
This brings me full circle on Saints Row.
