Why did the Devs make the main character one that could not be customized?
For a serious RPG player being able to customize your character is a large part of the game. Not only that but most of us take the time to create our characters reason for being i.e, give them a past, some history and a reason for doing what they do. We also like to have them look the part.In The Witcher, players aren't given the opportunity to make the main character THEIR character. The Devs have already defined the looks and general appearance, including the gender, for you. There is no option for ethnicity, gender preference or even aging. Some like to play with a more mature character or others a younger one. It depends on what type of character the player wishes to role play. There aren't even basic options. You can't change eye color. In a game that is so fluid, the main character is static.Today, when so many more women play games as do others in different parts of the world, this seems a huge oversight, unless there was a reason. I am just wondering what that reason was. Opinions?EDIT - Someone just told me that it was because of the cut scenes, but I say it isn't necessary to show the face of the character in these.
