How much time spent on character creating?

JusApee · Apr 14, 2016

How much time did you spend on creating your character? I usually take my time while doing it and creating this character lasted for around 40 minutes. I have a hard time choosing characters' names and details like scars or face aspect. How much did you guys spend on creating your character?

I decide the name and back story before starting a new game. I have a whole word document where I jot down ideas for characters I'd like to start on in future. I only give them a scar if I've decided that at one point the character got injured in his backstory, and they might have a suitable nickname like Ghosteye or something. So I don't spend too long in character creation because most of the work has already been done before I start playing.

I usually spend awhile. I made Gordon Ramsay once, spending a great deal of time to make him look just so, as much like the real Gordon Ramsay as possible. Due to the nature of Skyrim's character creation, it wasn't possible to get it exact, but I actually did fairly well. Now on Dark Souls and Demon's Souls where you can tweak the details to a much finer degree, I can spend an hour. :beermug:

I spend quite a lot of time on the character creation, mostly because I have trouble deciding what I like and will edit several races at once as I work out what type of character to play.

Depends on if it's just a random playthrough or a RP. If its random I go through it as quickly as I can just to start the game. On the other hand on a role play character, I can take 30 minutes to a hour going over the details.

My main character took a while to setup. It depends on why I'm creating the character. If it's just a throwaway character I want to create, it will take a short amount of time.

That's awesome! Although I think Dark Souls' character creation, while offering finer detail, is actuallypretty sucky. In fact, every Japanese game I can think of with charactear creation leavs much to be desired.

To be on topic, I always spend unreasonable amounts of time in character creation. In Skyrim I believe it took me some 2 or 3 hours.

Honestly, I'm so bad at the micro-details of character creation that I force myself to make a character I'm generally happy with and then move on - if I made a character I was perfectly happy with I'd have no time to actually play the game. It works out alright though, as over time my characters generally grow on me and I end up happy with them.

I don't usually spend a lot of time in the editor choosing my appearance but I do obsessively and I mean OBSESSIVELY spend hours debating builds and pondering setups and trying to decide on the best way to play. It's actually a terrible affliction.

I've always loved the character creation process. I'd say on average, I spend about an hour. Maybe more if I'm dreaming up the back story, etc.

You know I would actually spend more time on a character if I could actually see the character more in the game. Looking at his back end all the time kind of negates the point of a lot of time spent on his face! Sure you can look at him when you are completely stopped etc, but it would be kind of cool to be able to see his front more often.
