I presume you have never played Skyrim.

As I've said in posts below, games with character creators don't count in this, due to the nature of the character creator.

@Fangirlsarah1996: Fair enough but what about Assassins creed, Grand theft auto, Final Fantasy etc...I'm not trying to be an a.hole, I'm just saying...:-)

@Wraithorn: Assassin's Creed is one of the few games that bothers to have good gameplay, with good characters and a fun open world to explore...the only problem is everyone hates Ubisoft for "reasons" Uh...sorry rant over...um...

Well...GTA 4 had Niko...who fits this profile very well...GTA 5 has three protagonists...so it gets awkward to try and have a "profile" there.

Final Fantasy is a series developed mostly in Japan...most games that come out of there have a different profile...this profile usually applies to "western world" games...so to speak...
