discussion What factors do you think are important when it comes to liking a character?

[Kal2628]

The character must be attractive. Her physical curves must be harmonious and believable.
And of course, the sexier she is, the better.

Glasses, plain and simple. Such an underrated part of a design that can sell something very strongly if done well.

 

[potatomanproto]

Well written dialogue is #1 for me. Just can't get behind a character if they are the same bland personality that most writers put into their girls. Tits are cool too i guess

 

[G35p3n5t]

Likable and fleshed out personality rather than just being a generic vagina? Cuteness. A distinctive personal style, perhaps?

 

[goals]

Not being the generic "I'll fuck anyone" -type, there's no challenge.

 

[G35p3n5t]

Oh, and not getting randomly raped or dying horribly for cheap shock value. Though that's more of a writing problem than a character trait.

 

[Renewed6105]

That they're cute.

I mean, in this space....

For me, it's appearance, personality, and body type, in that order.
However, if this is an adult game, the order will be body type, appearance, and personality.
I think the important elements change depending on whether you're enjoying the story or not.

like you listed, the looks are very important, and of course I'm not particularly fond of certain personalities, like if a character is a raging bitch. but I also feel an often overlooked aspect is their "past" (assuming the dev chooses to get into it), as certain parts of that could majorly turn me away from a character, such as being the town bicycle.

Conviction and Consistency. I love seeing a character live their vision out even if that leads them to a bad end. So if a character says they are are good person I don't want the story to make a left and all of a sudden they are justifying torturing people and raping women. Conversely I don't like seeing evil characters 'realize' that what they were doing was wrong and try to turn back.

A full-blown story, not thrown together and inconsistent. The characters have to be cute and geniune.

I agree, so do i

 

[LockHF]

For me, besides being loli or shota, the character needs to fulfill the established personality well, sometimes they seem like a soulless mannequin that is too moldable.

Any good character in an adult game should be relatable and believable... and hot as fuck, of course.

 

[Kenjiro]

a decent pair of jugs?

 

[forthed]

i like characters that are faulty, so they feel human

 

[naughtyones]

I just want them to be interesting, weather I like or dislike there actions or background.
I pretty render can only get you so far at some point they have something that wants you to keep reading instead of fast forwarding to the naughty bits as generic MC Clone #179 Rails Generic girl #9726

I think having a good sense of humor goes a long way for likeability.
