Things that ruin games.

[Teedgee]

This might be an unpopular opinion. This doesn't really ruin a game for me, but I've never been a fan when a series that starts out with defined characters switches to having you create a custom character. The designs often feel more generic to me, and the dialogue for such characters is usually pretty generic as well. I think you should only have a character creator if the game really benefits from it, such as life-sims or rpgs that really focus on being able to create different builds.

modern fire emblem is literally that, like sometimes it works, but it's been done so many times now, and it's even getting more restrictive (can't even design the characters yourself anymore), i never liked it there and i can only imagine other such games are like that too
