There's no better feeling than being able to dress up your videogame character like a little Barbie doll and parade it around a fake world, forming some strange sense of attachment to a bundle of pixels. It's something I wasn't actually expecting in Diablo 4, with its customisation being a pleasant surprise to me. For some background: I'm a total newbie to Blizzard's dark and dreary ARPG series. My knowledge is sparse, mostly limited to snippets of conversations my friends have had about the games over the years.
I went into Diablo 4 knowing next to nothing, so immediately I was grateful for some semblance of character creation. It's a little limited, sure, but I was able to whip up a female Barbarian I loved pretty fast. In a way, I appreciated that I didn't have to spend hours tweaking nose bridge width and neck length for a character I'll be spending most of the time viewing from the top down.
