BG3 devs complained because they “put so much work into character creation” and people kept picking “bland builds”. The simple fact is people will either pick entirely off min-maxing or what they find most aesthetically pleasing. Character creation is also lazier than a static character as it wipes out most the need for a backstory (again see bg3) for the character which makes them feel empty.
By 'bland builds' they meant 'Why do people keep making characters that are white and male?'
And being the bubble-drowning, coom-brained retards that they are, the obvious answer of 'Because people want to play as themselves, you stupid fuck' never occurred to them.
Or that, gee, the majority of their customer base are white men with alot of spare income on hand.
Having said all that, I don't mind character creation, as it atleast gives me the option of roleplay and self-imposed custom game modes.
'Because people want to play as themselves, you stupid fuck'
Actually, this isn't even true, IMO. I don't think I'm that unique in not caring much about what I'm playing as as long as it's a game that I like. I've played countless games with main characters that are people, animals, aliens, gods, vehicles, objects, plants, robots, whatever. I don't care.
But if a game has a character creator, I'm just going to make myself. I'm not that interested in "being" someone/something else.
