Since the beginning of my latest RPG project I have been quite sure not to use humanoid avatars for the PC and NPcs (mostly due to artistic inabilities of mine).
It didn’t stop me though to make the inventory and equipment screen use a humanoid figure and all the typical slots for humanoids (head, torso, belt, legs, gloves, boots …)
Not only I can trash the screen now, I also must go back to start and actually think about what equipment slots the players should/will have … which finally means I need to even go back one step further and decide abou the “race” for players and NPCs, which I still couldn’t make up my mind.
I wonder how many players would actually notice if I keep the screen with the humanoid figure and display something else as PC avatar on the map :persecutioncomplex:
