Read moreHow much time do you typically spend on character creation?
Depends on the depth of the options. I recall spending about an hour on BDO per character, but I can easily pick a "good enough" option on games like WoW that have much simpler systems.
What are the tools you like to have available when you’re building your character?
This might be a hot take for the MMORPG community, but I don't really care what "tools" I have, as long as my tools feel fair. I feel more pressured to make the "right" character in complex systems, and I'll honestly spend more time on these systems out of obligation to have a respectable-looking character than I will out of the passion of creating something unique. I am totally fine with "good enough" systems; I'll be more invested in my armor than my face, anyway.
...Do you focus on race/class synergy, looking good, or something else entirely?
I'll be more invested in my armor than my face, anyway.
This was an interesting tangent that came up elsewhere as well! Some folks noted that if they like to get heavily detailed in the character creator, they also tend to like to have their helmet toggled off to show off their hard work - whereas others preferred for their armor to look coolest, so they seemed to care less about their face.
Sounds like you're more on team armor vs. team face?

We're not evil, we just...came down with a little case of corruption 😈
I think powerful monster patrols are an easy way to make questing more dynamic. Old MMOs used to do this. If you accidentally aggro'd a patrol while fighting something, it could mean certain death.
On that topic, I just really hope they make the open world dangerous in general. It seems like every game now is a total face roll, where it is impossible to lose. I played the New World beta recently, and that game had the same problem. Not once was I challenged during solo PvE. Quite boring.
What are some of your other favorite ways to feel "danger" in the open world? Whether it be mobs, other players, environmental factors, or something else entirely?
Just beautiful I can’t wait !
Glad to hear you're digging this peak peek into Dünir life! ❤ ⛏
