Wim's character rating explained

Appearance or Art & Design

  • This is to rate if the character looks good.
  • This is also for CGs or cinematic that happened in the character’s route or quest.
  • It’s a very opinionated rating.

Storyline

  • It is what it is. This is to rate the character’s story.
  • Was it interesting?
  • Did it make sense about 75% of the time?
  • How did the character and the player’s character interact?

Personality

  • You may wonder why this is separate to Storyline. It’s because a character’s personality can be gold but their route’s script writing is so damaging that their personality didn’t get to shine through.
  • Their personality will be rated from the perspective of a whole game not their route.
  • I find every game has a character who is wonderful in every other route but their route.
