Say what you will about Crimson Desert protagonist Kliff, he is—by all accounts—present. Unfortunately, he isn't much else. Guy's got less personality than a tax office cubicle. Our man Kliff's so much of a blank slate that it's hard not to wonder whether Pearl Abyss might have been better off giving players the ability to make their own adventurer.
As is so often the case, a modder has provided where a developer hasn't. On Nexus Mods, modder Khione95 has released their Character Creator - Female mod for Crimson Desert, letting players replace Kliff with a heroine of their own making.
