@MollyNoise that's a great point, I've been playing video games since #HammurabisCode in say 1977 and fleshing out the main character in terms of family has never been a focus. "The Player" in #SidMeiersPirates rescues his family members but they only generate information and change the ending, anonymous Avatar in #UltimaUnderworld, orphaned child of a wizard in #BaldursGate , Duke in #DukeNukem who may also be an avatar of violence.
A damn good point that!
