In Watch Dogs 2 the initial hackerspace is in the basement of a game store in the lower Haight in San Francisco, which smacks smartly of Gamescape on Divisadero Street between Oak and Fell. It’s still there according to Google, even though everything around it was gentrified out of existence, including the cheap flat I lived in.
I’m pretty sure my years as a Gamescape regular inspired the character Josh Sauchak. I lived with the woman who probably inspired Sitara Dhawan, and we are pretty sure of the identity of the guy who inspired Wrench.
What ! seriously ? but who wrote these characters, did they meet you all ?
I don’t know who wrote the characters. Some developers in Ubisoft in the early 2010s, I presume. Looking at the extensive credits, I never found a name that I recognized.
It could all be coincidence, but there’s a significant amount of similarity.
The Nameless One, Planescape: Torment.
Although I haven’t fully tested the immortality part.
Stanley from the Stanley parable. My life is a mundane existential nightmare that I have little control over.

It’s only 10¢, but still, it’s weird that it happened twice.
100%. Bandit Heeler is my guide to being a parent.
Any video game that gives you a blank slate character to build and give your own personality to is me. At least when I play them.😌
I dont think I have identified with anyone more than Leonard from Big Bang Theory. He is basically the one character on the show that is very much like a real person when all the rest are exaggerated stereotypes.

I apologize for the stupid question, but you once created characters like this?:

Only the one that I made after having been stung by a bee on my face.
Oh,
Honestly? None.
I don’t know if it’s funny, but here’s my answer to you:

Your answer is Zed from Zardos?
I feel like we have done this exact interaction before…
Your answer is Zed from Zardos?
yeah.
I feel like we have done this exact interaction before…
hmm…
Perhaps it’s because you commute via giant flying head?
Perhaps, but not only that, this character seems to show the superiority of nature over man.
I’m even thinking of cosplaying this character once.
yeah, same. i don’t understand how people ‘identify’ with fiction characters at all. especially when those characters are often so one dimensional.
I’ve had a lot of people, women especially, lecture me about what ‘character’ i am from a book or movie I am, and when I investigate the reference it’s makes no sense to me because it’s always totally different characters, again usually just one dimensional, really more caricatures really. And it tells me a lot about how they see the world that they judge other people as caricatures, especially when you first meet them.
personally I’ve noticed people who heavily identify with fictional characters have a tenuous grasp on reality and exaggerated emotional reactions to mundane things, like minor inconveniences or miscommunications are distorted into grudges or day/week ruining events. also a proclivity to believe if destiny/fate/mystic forces, rather than people’s choices.

I remembered how at the age of 12, after watching a videos on YouTube, I took tests on the Internet, what kind of character I am, by some similarities with him or something like that, I am so ashamed.

Here you are practically right, I am not sure if this is really so, but perhaps in most cases it is.
Oh, that is such a Hermione Grainger answer!

Brain the size of a planet… :)
A combination of Homer Simpson, Peter Griffin, whatever the name of the character Jon Goodman played in Roseanne… and… Donkey Kong.

This guy took my answer.
Velma from Scooby Doo. She was the first fictional girl character I not only identified with but also had a crush on before I recognized that I was bisexual.
I’m very easy to identify with characters in stories since it doesn’t have to be everything, I resonate with parts of Elphaba from the Wicked musical, parts of Amity Blight from The Owl House,
Probably Dr. Nefario from Despicable Me, because I’m an old fart puttering around a lab making stupid shit.
Weirdo answer, but Geralt from the Witcher games.
I can relate to the somewhat outcast with a specialized skillset that people need but also loathe to pay for.
What is your particular set of skills ?
Weirdo answer, but Geralt from the Witcher games.
Well, I think my answer is stranger. And the fact that you like the Herald is a reason to be proud, in my humble opinion.
Gojo Wakana from my dress up darling and Komi Shouko from Komi can’t communicate. It’s best if I’m just left alone
My fallout 4 character and also a bit of unikitty from the Lego movie
