Grab a seat in our badly-lit tavern and please ignore the goblin puke.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>What&#8217;s better? An RPG that gives you a pre-defined character with an immutable history and set-in-stone personality traits, or one that lets you just create whatever kind of hero (or villain) you fancy? It&#8217;s like comparing apples and oranges\u2014by which I mean there&#8217;s absolutely a correct answer. Clearly apples are the superior choice. <\/p>\n<p>OK, maybe it&#8217;s a trickier question than I&#8217;m making it out to be. When I initially decided I wanted you lot to tell me what you prefer, my own answer seemed to be clear. I want blank slates. I&#8217;m an old-school roleplayer, so I like my RPGs to give me the freedom and flexibility of a tabletop game, crafting my adventurer instead of stepping into a pre-existing character&#8217;s shoes. <\/p>\n<p>These RPGs tend to be the ones with the most extensive roleplaying options and build potential, and they&#8217;re usually more fun to replay. I&#8217;m talking Baldur&#8217;s Gate, Icewind Dale, Dragon Age (to a degree), Fallout and Skyrim. Easy, then! That&#8217;s my choice. Blank slates are apples. <\/p>\n<p>Except, when I actually thought about the RPGs I love the most, with the stories I can&#8217;t get out of my head, they were just as often the ones with more defined protagonists. Mass Effect, The Witcher, Disco Elysium, Planescape Torment\u2014all games I&#8217;m absolutely smitten with. <\/p>\n<div style=\"min-height: 250px;\">\n<div class=\"kwizly-quiz kwizly-ONKrjX\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <script src=\"https:\/\/kwizly.com\/embed\/ONKrjX.js\" async><\/script><\/p>\n<p>What these games typically lack in buildcrafting fun, they tend to make up for with more resonant stories and evocative writing. And it&#8217;s not like we cede control when we play these games. Of the bunch, The Witcher&#8217;s Geralt is probably the most clearly defined, but the series is known for its gut-punching choices\u2014your Geralt is probably a lot like my Geralt, but the adventures we have with him will still deviate quite a bit. <\/p>\n<p>In Disco and Planescape, it&#8217;s even more pronounced. Harry and The Nameless One have an established history and relationships, but the moment we take control we&#8217;re given a great deal of freedom. Playing Disco as a hardcore communist with a side gig in paranormal investigations is a completely different experience from a fascist Judge Dredd-style playthrough. <\/p>\n<p>Do I actually prefer oranges? My whole world has been turned upside down. But wait, Baldur&#8217;s Gate 3 is probably the greatest RPG ever made, and it achieves so much, and is so full of character, even when you&#8217;re playing as a blank slate. Oh no, maybe I&#8217;m a fruit salad guy? I guess I&#8217;ll need to make a third option for the poll. <\/p>\n<p>Anyway! While I try to figure out where I stand, exactly, you should start pondering this yourself. Let us know which side you land on in the poll above, and then hit up the comments for a friendly debate. <\/p>\n<div class=\"product\"><a data-dimension112=\"fb871e03-1018-4ca9-b45f-b62fa46fae05\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2026 games\" data-dimension48=\"2026 games\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:661px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:98.94%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"6offQUY4CXebir2TC27dMd\" name=\"kingdom come 2 square\" caption=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/the-great-rpg-debate-defined-playable-characters-or-blank-slates.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"661\" height=\"654\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" credit=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/new-pc-games-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-dimension112=\"fb871e03-1018-4ca9-b45f-b62fa46fae05\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2026 games\" data-dimension48=\"2026 games\" data-dimension25=\"\"><strong>2026 games<\/strong><\/a>: All the upcoming games<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Our all-time favorites<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-50-best-free-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Free PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Freebie fest<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-fps-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best FPS games<\/strong><\/a>: Finest gunplay<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-rpgs-of-all-time\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best RPGs<\/strong><\/a>: Grand adventures<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-co-op-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best co-op games<\/strong><\/a>: Better together<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/rpg\/the-great-rpg-debate-defined-playable-characters-or-blank-slates\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dungeon Master Welcome to Dungeon Master, PC Gamer&#8217;s regular RPG column, where Online Editor Fraser Brown (and guests) delves into PC gaming&#8217;s most beloved and enduring genre.
