Although many of my favorite games have this (Dragon Age: Inquisition, Dragon’s Dogma, etc.) I really don’t like it. I love it when I have a character (love it even more when I can create a character) who’s just there to help and ends up being the hero. Also, extra point for a choice between good & evil. Always a good playthrough as human male. Then evil playthrough as random race female. |
I don't mind it though I agree that it's refreshing when you just happen to become the hero instead of following fate/destiny/whatever. The original Fallout nailed this since you just happen to be the one guy the leader of the vault sends outside. Ironically enough, they changed this with Fallout 2 where your character is literally called "Chosen One" lol.
