As people that own Dragon's Dogma have come to discover the character creator is incredibly detailed, from the simple to the extremely complex you can work on your character for hours on end moulding and shaping them down to the most specific details. While creating your character I can't help to wonder, what is your character's back story, now before I go on I know some people may be raising their hands exclaiming it's the same for everybody, you start off in Cassardis ... protected Quina from ridicule during your childhood ... and blah dee blah dee blah. When I say your back story I mean what inspiration do you think about during your character creation process.

My character's back story is somewhat detailed, the Arisen's parents had set out from Gran Soren to Cassardis to seek aid from the medicine woman in Cassardis. (Those who have played for a few hours know this to be "Gran" from Witchwood.) They sought her out due to their child dying from a unknown illness, they arrived at the village and the medicine woman used her ancient magicks to infuse the child with the life forces of a wolf, and after careful watch the child overcame the illness. As the years passed the wolf spirit refused to stay dormant and sought to claim control of the vessel, feeling this the Arisen sought out the medicine woman once more who added a magical seal to his right eye where the wolf spirit seemed to be manifesting itself in the form of the eye turning yellow like a wolf's eye. She warned him to protect the seal if harm should come to it the spirit may break free and ravage his body in an attempt to take full control.

A game can be great in all regards but it's that little extra imagination that makes it amazing. ;)
