i personally find it hard to insert myself or even create my own character for choices stories, just because i feel that all the MCs are already written by pixelberry with a certain personality in mind, and it almost feels wrong for me to interfere with that, if that makes sense? lol.

for example, i’m a pretty socially awkward person irl, so it would be odd for me to insert myself into an MC that’s super charismatic and always says the right thing (or at least has the option to), just because i know that that’s not me. i like the separation of knowing i’m me, they’re them, and that i live in a separate world from these fictional characters. it keeps me grounded, i guess? and it feels like i’m being more honest with myself rather than pretending i’m someone i’m not, as chessy or weird as that sounds.

even saying that i ‘create’ a new character to be my MC feels weird, because even if i do make decisions for them in the game, most of their dialogue and actions aren’t written by me, y’know? so they never really feel like ‘mine’ - but that doesn’t necessarily mean that i can’t feel attached or invested in them. it’s almost like having a friend, and caring about them, feeling invested in their personal life, and occasionally giving them advice/making decisions for them in a way that shapes the way their life goes, but ultimately they’re their own person and their life can only go one way or another that’s out of your control.

How do you play choices?

I’m so curious. Do you self-insert (MC has your name, resembles as closely as possible to you/who you want to look like) OR do you create characters?

And even further if you wanna, what makes doing that so enjoyable? What part of that aspect draws you to the game?

And I might as well ask, if you play as yourself, do you make choices based on what you’d choose presently in your personality, or do you choose based on who you would like to be?

And ok, last one, I HOPE. If you create characters, what is your process? Do you create them as you go, or do you plan them?

I’m so intrigued with this! If you want to answer, reblog/reply with your response OR you can message me! I’d love to read about it!

is it an unpopular oppie (cute way of saying opinion) to think that stories with only 1 or 2 gender customisable LIs is kind of the way to go moving forward for choices 🧍

like the main issue ppl have been having seems to be the quality of the books n their subject matter, n the quantity of LIs won't fix that? back when it WAS the norm to have 3+ LIs per book every non-whiteman LI would get sidelined and treated like shit by the plot. at least now when the plot railroads you into spending more time w one LI u can choose their gender/appearance, and it's easier to split screentime equally between 2 LIs compared to for example 4

plus limiting it to less LIs allows the story more time to flesh out characters n ur relationships w them. it's easier to incoprorate LIs into the plot n make them important + impactful when there's less of them

OBVIOUSLY none of this is ideal and their whole business model is a bit garbáge, these are simply my thoughts !

what she says: i'm fine

what she thinks: you'll trust them. one day you'll trust them more than you trust yourself. you think what you're starting to feel for them is loyalty, but does it feel the same as it does when you think of the rest of those you are bonded to? you should be careful. a bond like the one you two will share--one that will last an eternity. if the coming darkness makes you break... they may willingly break with you.
