What do you guys prefer when playing a character in an RPG?
The chosen one whose destiny has been intertwined with the fate of the world who wields power he's had since being born, OR the random guy who saves everyone with sheer willpower alone?
Think OoT Link VS WW Link.
Personally, I like the random guy approach more. They have always been my more favorite characters, I think because it makes it more relatable. Playing Skyrim without actually being dragonborn is awesome.
Destiny characters can still be cool though, like Aang from ATLA, but it wouldn't be nearly as good of a show if literally all his friends (except Zuko I suppose, technically) weren't just regular people in comparison (especially Sokka).
@beardalaxy I prefer the more JRPG style of putting me into the role of a character they made than the WRPG where they go half and half on having freedom and an actual story and getting a lot of friction between them
Playing Dragon's Dogma as a loli has been the most fun I've had purely from the main character
