I know Black Desert is hailed as the character creator to end all character creators, but the game itself leaves a lot to be desired, at least in my opinion.
Mass Effect would be the opposite for me. Only FemShep has good customization options, and they're just that - good, at best. Not fantastic. MaleShep ends up looking like a default space marine or a neanderthal. The games, on the other hand, more than make up for this.
I guess the best fusion of the two for me would be Dragon Age: Inquisition, especially for its time. It was one of the first PS4 games I played, and I was blown away by the character creator at the time, and how seamlessly my beloved creation blended into cutscenes and felt like a real, breathing, living character in that world. I loved it so much I played it twice just to see another one of my creations romp through the world (and because of how differently the story can play out based on your choices). The game isn't my favorite RPG of all time, but it was pretty good, enough for me to see it through more than once.
What are some of your examples? Any characters you'd like to share?
