Trash game, but I gotta give it to Fallout 4, mainly because I like some of the presets. It’s first-person so you don’t look at your character all that much, and just picking a preset I really like is an important feature. If all the presets are trash and I gotta work, that’s keeping me from the game.
We joke about Skyrim giving you too many choices and people spending hours in character creation. That’s not a good thing. I’m all for choices, but give me a few good presets to choose from and give me the option to change it later. Cyberpunk and Animal Crossing are two (vastly different!) games that let you remake your character at any point, short of changing your gender (and in AC, your name). So you don’t have to stress about it too much at first, you can get into the game, and then change it up later. (Cyberpunk lets you do it at any mirror. So does Animal Crossing, but you’ll have to buy one first — or move in a neighbor who has one in their default house, like I think Kidd does (and regarding his name, yes, he is a goat)).
With games like Cyberpunk with full character voice acting, I wish they’d tell you about the voice actor. Like, in Cyberpunk, “This is Cherami Leigh, she works out of Los Angeles, and she voices Asuna from Sword Art Online and (list a few other notable roles).” Or “This is Gavin Drea, he’s from Ireland, and list some of his credits (he hasn’t been anyone major in anything major).” Rather than just listen to the voices. Not specifically because I think voice actors should get more credit (I do, and they should, and you already know Keanu Reeves and Idris Elba are in it and who they are, so why the hell not) but because I think it’s more information about the voice than just listening to a sample they recorded that probably isn’t even in the main game.
