Whenever I play role-playing games, I don’t usually customize my character’s name and appearance. I like using the game’s default settings for two reasons:
- Characters are made that way for a reason. A group of designers and writers agreed on a specific look and name that fits the characters whom their stories revolve around on.
- I like to be able to talk about the characters with other players. If I gave my character a custom name, say like “Bob” or “Brittney”, there will be a time when I’ll slip and say my custom names – which can be both humiliating and confusing. The conversation will most probably be like:
You: So, what builds are you using in Final Fantasy 12?
Me: My Brittney is a Sentinel while my Bob is a Ravager.
You: Say what?!
Given this behavior, it really annoys me that the lead character of Dragon Age II, the game that I’m currently playing, looks a lot like Manny Pacquiao.
Its a good thing that he carries a weapon and not throw punches during battle.
