Is the MC a self insert for the player? Been trying to find a good game in this genre for sometime where that's the case, being able to name the MC and maybe being able customize the character before the game starts, alot of the games I see are you play as insert name here instead of you as in the player, hope I am not being confusing, I do hear a lot of good things about this game, so will give it a try sometime.
Well the story is literally about him not having much control so I wouldn't really say he's a self insert, he's a character that exists that you just happen to be able to name.
If you project yourself onto him, that going to SUCK for you in some of these main story quests, but I mean I don't care, its a story you can interperet it in anyway you like I can't stop you.
Well it is what it is, if that is the case I don't see the point of giving an option to name the character just give your character a name is my thought, well I will continue looking for a game in this genre that is what I am looking for and I wish you the best with making the rest of the game, while not what I am looking for it was good for what I have played of it today, I know not wanting to continue do to the mc not being us the player but a given character who we are controlling to see there story you are writing is stupid, do please forgive me about that, I would indeed recommend this game to people who like these types of games as it is well done and effort that is put into it is great as well, well hope you and everyone has a great day!
