In general, in games with character customization do you make a variant, or avatar, of yourself?
Or even in games where all you decide is the name of a character that looks a certain way (and may be an established/known character with a name), do you give them yours, leave it as the default, or name them after your go to female personality?
Yes, always. I try to make my characters look as similar to my real life appearance as possible and use my name when the option is offered. Every copy of SVR I've owned has had a CAW designed to look/act like me. It's fun seeing a virtual me immersed in a whole new world; it makes the whole experience feel a little more personal.
