Is a style. Neither are better. Playing a premade character let the artist write a good backstory for it. While if you create your character, you play more or less a blank slate.

That's true, but the problem is that the trailer implied the dude narrating it was the protagonist, but he isn't because you get to make your own character.

Yeah, I liked Geralt a lot and I don't at all mind a set main character. In fact, I kind of prefer it these days. It can be a risk, because you do still want the player to be invested in the character and it's always possible to make a set main character who just sucks too much to get invested in, but if done well I think it provides a better anchor for roleplaying than a blank slate.

That said, maybe CDPR can do the blank slate well. I hope so, at least. And I hope they give us a lot of options for having cool cyberware that makes our characters look unique.

If there is, there won't be much (or anything) new to show. The hidden text in yesterday's trailer suggests CDPR still isn't ready to show gameplay or anything like that.

Sony most likely

On the character discussion I much prefer a fallout/elder scrolls create a character of you have the writing to make whatever the play want to be work. I mean Fallout 4 was far worse for the experience with the MAH FAMILY poo poo shoved down your throat.

I could never get into the witcher because I didnt like how pre defined geralt was.

They've said on Twitter there's more to come at this E3, but whether that'll just be interviews, idk.

If they somehow have actual gameplay to show I'll be thrilled. Shocked, but thrilled.

Maybe it'll just be interviews, concept art, maybe a discussion with a little more detail about what kind of game it's going to be, that sort of thing.

I told you so...
I'm reservedly optimistic about DMC5. On one hand, it looks very much inspired by DMC4, which I think is my favourite DMC, but on the other, the more "present day" aesthetics remind me of DMC2 and DmC:DmC, which... aren't.

Also, J-pop?

Well, there's also DMC3, which at least started in a modern city, and the DMC5 trailer showed off some ancient ruins and cathedrals and stuff.

Yeah, that's how I've felt about the Tomb Raider reboot too. I want more tomb raiding, puzzle, and survival stuff and less "isn't Lara such a brutal killer" stuff

But, but, you can tell she's getting close to BECOMING THE TOMB RAIDER though, because she's got the gray sleeveless tunic she wore in the original 90's Tomb Raider games.
