Re: What video game mechanics do you love?

[(Anonymous)]

I love customizing my own character in most games. Unless the protagonist is better off just being a defined character with a defined personality because a lot of the drama is cast-based, then I find it a little obnoxious. (Like... Dragon Age 2, which I loved, I always kept the default male or female Hawke because it just made more sense. but Dragon Age 1, it was more fun to design my own character).

I theoretically love serious choices where you have to choose between, say, one character dying or the other - but in reality, I hate that because as a gamer, I like to play the perfect run. On that note, as a gamer, I honestly prefer being able to do everything in one playthrough because I don't anticipate having the time to replay most games and hate missing things - though again, in theory, the idea of personalized runs in games with lots of replay value is super cool. But c'mon, in an epic RPG you're already committing 40, 50+ hours. Much more if it's an open world game like Skyrim or something. I don't want to have to replay six times in order to see everything, especially if the bulk of the game is more or less identical.

I love romance options. Namely, same-sex romance options. I also want my male characters to be beautiful bishounen, not hulky macho dudes, and I want to dress them in beautiful skimpy silks. Does that count as a mechanic?

One of my few complaints with Fallout: New Vegas is the sudden swap of this in the Lonesome Road DLC...

Throughout the main game and other DLCs, the Courier is a total blank slate, their only defined trait being having been a courier, and the only set story starting when they picked up the chip.

Then LR comes along and inserts a bit of backstory where they're responsible for hundreds of deaths years earlier. I ended up having to headcanon that Ulysses was off his nut in order to keep it consistent with how I was mentally picturing the Courier. (And I kept up that assumption for most subsequent playthroughs.)
