Posts from Characters

Many games offer some degree of character customization. I think many people (including myself) would be interested in seeing other users' characters. Here are some examples whose screenshots have been preserved:

Characters from Perfect World:
Archer Sooyoung and mage Leang

To be honest, I am satisfied with my own characters in this game. The archer turned out surprisingly beautiful. In the game itself, however, I often encountered very unattractive female characters created by other players, mainly due to the excessive amount of "eyeshadow" or an unappealing skin tone (supposedly tanned). Also, it was very common to see identical characters with the same shop-bought hairstyles.

Baldur's Gate:
Tianzi Wuzhou
I started playing just a couple of days ago (since this is my first time playing, I must say that I really like the game), initially intending to play as a mage and using a character portrait from Perfect World :D. However, while browsing through two hundred portraits in the game, one particularly caught my eye, and for some reason, I really wanted to create that kind of character – a kensai with katanas (the only two katanas I had before recently broke, and there are no others anywhere, so now I have to use this one). Arandor said that this portrait wasn't originally in the game and was likely added by some mod.


Fallout Tactics:
Sunny
As you can see, everything should be clear here. A nimble seventeen-year-old girl with an automatic shotgun and eleven AP. The skills aren't distributed very well, but it doesn't matter much.


The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
This was a long time ago, and I don't even remember her name. All I remember is that she used an enchanted "two-handed katana" or something similar + magic.


Mass Effect
The character didn't turn out very attractive, but I still like him more than the default Shepard (by the way, the same situation applies to Hawke in Dragon Age 2).


Dragon Age: Origins
I named him Tangeiser, lol, and his last name was standard (it couldn't be changed), Kusland, if I'm not mistaken. He's a shaved, resolute, unwavering prince consort of Ferelden.


Dragon Age 2
Here, I used one of the standard heads, only slightly modifying it. Compared to the previous character, he differs perhaps in some kind of kindness. In other words, the character from the first part never takes risks and eliminates the problem at the first opportunity, while this one tries to find a compromise, etc.

Ugh, I don't like black characters in games, racist!11
Especially in fantasy.
And I don't have any characters. Well, I did create them in different games, but I don't have any screenshots and there's nothing to say about them.

Fallout Tactics... Oh man, that was a long time ago...

And in Fallout 3, I had a cool seventy-two-year-old girl with glasses, hehe. Too bad I didn't think to take a screenshot.

racist!

Something's up with these hairy racists. Or have you already had time to shave?

Tianzi Wuzhou

You're just trolling me.
And you're playing the trilogy, you pathetic newbie, not enjoying the asceticism of the original, where there were no kensai, duals, or katana.

What's with all these hairy racists lately? Or have you already managed to shave?

I'm not hairy. I can't even style my tail properly. Also, are all racists supposed to be clean-shaven?
And besides, I'm not a racist, I just don't like brown skin. Although black people are better than pale white people.
And in fantasy games, black people just don't fit. Like in Gothic, there are all sorts of people walking around. Where do they come from? Why are there black and white people mixed together? It would be better if they didn't include any black people.

Skin color doesn't matter. What's inside a person is what's important. And you know best how games should be made, right?

Although black people are better than just well-tanned white people.

At first, it seemed that way.

And you're playing the trilogy, you pathetic newbie, not enjoying the austerity of the original, where there were no kensai, duals, or katana.

You know what you're talking about. Anyway, I downloaded the most popular version, and since I hadn't played it before, I couldn't notice any differences.

Skin color doesn't matter. What's inside a person is what's important.

I agree. But there are beautiful and unattractive people. Some people like your face, others don't. It's the same thing – a purely "cosmetic" difference; I don't like this color, but that doesn't mean the people themselves are bad or anything.

And you know better how games should be made, right?

No, I'm just expressing my opinion. You can express yours, and we can start a discussion.

What a bunch of morons, flooding the thread again and again.

what's inside a person

Nothing interesting. Intestines, kidneys, liver, stomach...

And I will answer on topic. I've played many games, but I don't have any screenshots saved. Most often, I don't bother and try to create a character that looks like me. I don't play as female characters at all, I wouldn't be able to role-play them, and while I don't approach role-playing with fanaticism, it's still quite important to me. Unfortunately, the characters I created that I liked the most are no longer available, because one was in Aion (by the way, that was the best character I ever made, I didn't even tell my friends the name, they immediately understood it was me when they saw it), and Aion is no longer active and has been deleted because I didn't like the game, and the second was in Perfect World, the game didn't appeal to me either, and I'm too lazy to download 14 GB. So, I rummaged around and am posting what I have now. I won't post screenshots from Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale, because the portraits are either standard or added manually, but that's not interesting, I didn't draw them myself. By the way, yes, Reinhard, you have a portrait added by that damned Trilogy. It's the most popular release, but not always the best.
In general, I'll say that I usually play either a paladin (CAR-SO-MIR!), but not really because of that (and not just because of Cera Sumat or Pale Justice), but I just generally like paladins, paladins were in all the old D&D games (in ToEE there was just a warrior and in Neverwinter 2, it wasn't a paladin either), in Diablo 2, in Ragnarok Online and many other games. Or I play as agile fighters, but not assassins or other backstabbers, but specifically fighters, all sorts of duelists (Neverwinter 2, yeah), swordsmen, berserkers... I like simple swords in games, but it's not practical to use one-handed weapons in most games, so I usually use a sword and shield, or katar (berserkers, yeah), less often a two-handed weapon or two swords. And yes, I'm a human in 99% of games.

Now, the characters:
1. Dragon Age - Origins. The character's name is, surprisingly, OMEGA.
Rogue (the translation, of course, is terrible), because I liked Alistair and Morrigan among the NPCs, and I needed a thief to pick locks for them. I plan to become a duelist, but I haven't found a teacher yet. An agile warrior, about whom I already mentioned. In terms of appearance, the only thing I didn't like was the hairstyles with a ponytail, so the face looks like me, and the hairstyle is just approximate.

2. Everquest 2. The character's name is, you won't believe it, Omega.
Paladin, tank. This is basically my classic character in 90% of games. Hairstyles with ponytails and beards, like mine, don't appeal to me at all, so I improvised something that vaguely resembles me. In general, it turned out quite well.

3. Mythos. The character's name, unexpectedly, is OMEGA.
Blood Knight, there are no paladins, unfortunately. The game is honestly recognized by the developers as a clone of Diablo, with three classes from classic Diablo 1, but instead of a thief, mage, and warrior, there's an engineer, pyromancer, and blood knight. In reality, it's all the same, only they added talents like in D2. In general, again a tank. I didn't get lucky with the ponytail again, but the beard is similar (and yet, in DAO, the face looks more like me).

4. Cabal online. Can you guess his name? You guessed wrong, OMEGA was taken, so, meet the unsurpassed noob-witcher (Force Blader in the original) - Sanjuro.
What can I say, the character editing options in the game are very limited. 4 faces, 4 hairstyles, 4 hair colors, and that's it. But, for once, there's a normal ponytail (although it doesn't look like mine). The class was chosen because, for once, there's an agile warrior character who runs around with one sword (in this case, a katana) and doesn't lose anything (in the second hand, he holds a crystal for magic, there it is, on the glove, but the sword is one and one-handed).


I like long posts. I'll digress from my characters, because I'm worried that you'll say something like that, and I'll say in conclusion that among all the games, the hairstyle that looks most like mine is this one:


5. Star Wars KOTOR 2. And this is a bonus for those who read to the end. This is the only game where I played as a girl because the male faces were very ugly. So, meet Leksa Nerano.
The only screenshot that was saved was taken by accident. Something distracted me, and I decided to ignore the dialogue and just click through it blindly. The screen goes dark, and suddenly I see my avatar looking like that! As it turned out later, I agreed to dance for a Hutt to gain access to him.


That's all, I'm done. But if I find anything interesting, I will definitely post it.

Do you have the same hairstyle as Frederick?

No, it's just his hairstyle, like mine :) Back then, when I was growing out my hair, I grew it out in a standard way. Then summer came, and it got really hot with my hair, and I didn't want to cut it, so I came up with the idea of only growing out the hair on the back of my head, and cutting the hair on the top and sides. That's how the hairstyle came about, and then I discovered Guilty Gear :) And my ponytail isn't that long either.

Heh, yeah, wearing long hair in the summer is tough. Even if you tie it in a ponytail.
