I gave her Ray-Bans at the start, and once I’d done enough gigs and looted the corpses of enough gangbangers to bankroll a shopping spree at the Buckaroo Leggin’s clothing store, I outfitted her with a tan leather duster, denim shorts, roper boots, a cowboy hat with floral embroidery, and a tacky turquoise bangle. This isn’t the most sophisticated character creator I’ve encountered in recent years, but it was good enough to let me design a protagonist with a decent resemblance to Amy Schumer. The first few menus let you select from eight voice actors for your character I went with Erica Lindbeck, who also plays the spunky sidekick Jessie Rasberry in Final Fantasy VII Remake.
But historically Saints Row swears by the comic relief in its customization, and I wanted to create a character who can hang. I played Cyberpunk 2077 for more than 100 hours and can’t even remember how I styled V apart from selecting her gender.
Typically I’d spend as little time as possible fussing with the character creator in a modern role-playing game.
