This comment in the GoW thread got me thinking:
As a disclaimer, I love RPGs, especially ones where you can select your own character. And if there's an option to be something else than what I am IRL, I'll take it gladly. Because to me, games are a form of escapism - I don't want to be reminded of my regular life when I'm doing something much more awesome than what my mundane life entails. Which is why I almost gave up on TLoU after the intro - as a father of a young daughter it just hit too hard. But the above comment got me thinking, there may be people that want to be themselves in a virtual setting?
Not dismissing such opinion at all, I'm just curious. Vote away, it'll be interesting to see the results.
Edit: just as a clarification, I don't necessarily mean picking a character of another gender (or species). Just trying to make your character look like you and acting like you would. Relating more to your character because of that pesky real life.
Dad of War is perfect for me, Artreus actually looks exactly like my nephew too so I'm RPing the hell out of that angle.
