I’ve always found it very interesting when some players say they don’t care what their characters look like, “they just want a good game.” 🧐
This video is part commentary, part confession, and yes, part celebration of pretty characters, in pretty games. We’re talking about why character design matters more than most people admit, and how beauty (when done right) actually helps tell (and sell) the story!
✨ Topics include:
Why we’re wired to care about beauty (and that’s okay)
When a design hits (Stellar Blade, Baldur’s Gate 3, Red Dead 2)
When it misses (Concord, Starfield, Intergalactic)
Fandoms, anime cosplays, VTuber vibes
And yes… why I bought the Faye Valentine skin in Fortnite without blinking
Let me know:
→ Who is a character you fell in love with at first sight?
→ What game made you live in the character creator for a lonnggg amount of time?
