Poll: Do you model your character after yourself?

[Ymbirtt]

I just see how far into the realms of inhumanity i can stretch the character by sliding the sliders to ridiclous locations.

Congratulations, you have the greatest Shepard I have ever seen in my life. Did this cause issues with facial animations? I can see serious problems with that face clipping into itself.

Hm, should probably include my own Shepard [http://h.imagehost.org/0480/shepard.png] for completeness. I always like to make myself scrawney, bald, pale, bearded and ginger for no good reason. Mass Effect irritated me with its choice of beards, it really did.

In games with better world building, the more robust decisions that the game offers and more character building choices to pick from the more I will play a character than try to put myself into the game. How can you make an interesting character in a world with only generic good or evil choices?

 

[notsoaveragejoe]

I tend to take RPG's as an excuse to explore a different person's perspective on the world. For example my Fallout 3 character had a green Mohawk and killed anyone so long as the price was right. Not really much like me at all

 

[Hiphophippo]

Take what you will from this, but when I'm given free reign over my character's appearance I tend to make him/her into a ridiculous Mexican parody. If possible a Luchador.

I just love Mexican culture, I guess.

 

[Shovel]

I do for looks, just because I'm too lazy to make something up, decisions I just go with what I find best to the game.

Oh the hilarity

OT: Sometimes I do (not so much looks, but decisions), but usually.... no

 

[Chancie]

Not as far as looks go. I don't make the character look anything like me, actually, but the decisions are all the choice that I would personally make.

 

[TheIr0nMike]

For the most part, otherwise I just make a random one up.

 

[Purplefood1]

Looks no i try to make my character as freaky looking as possible.
In desicions, sort of i just go with what i think will be funny which is generally being an evil guy but hey go figure

 

[Talvrae]

Sometimes, not always

 

[Evertw]

I sometimes do but not always, and mostly for looks.

 

[TehAudioSurfer]

I try but fail...badly that being said I just make someone with awesome eyes everything else is a wildcard.

Decision wise I do what I'd do in everyday land.

 

[Randomeaninglessword]

I usually do. But, on the second play-through I make them look however I want and make the opposite choices.

I want to watch the world burn

That is very disturbing sir. You have won on that accord, if such was your intention.

OT: On decisions, yes. Looks no. I generally play female characters, as to create masturbation material not have to be a man for once in video games. The voice tends to be not as great either, and I don't really want to have to look at man butt the entire time I'm playing a game.

Decision wise, yes. Looks wise, no.

Ugly shepard approves your post (this is his happy face.)

Oh my god, I just died from laughing. It's funny because the standard shepard voice, totally does not fit that guys looks. Ugly Shepard.... fucking awesome.

OT: I try... but it kind of take alot of patience and actually some real skill. Everytime I do I usually end up with something that looks like either

A- my retarded love child.

B- My dream image of me, you know the most perfect looking versions of our real self that we all ahve.

I can't really explain the last one... it just sort of... happens. Maybe I need to talk to someone about it.
