You’ll need to pay to edit your Monster Hunter Wilds character beyond the first free redo

When creating a character in a video game, how much time do you typically spend? The average time is three hours, but it can stretch to four hours if you’re playing a Bethesda game. Character creation in a Bethesda game can be a challenging task, requiring patience to achieve the desired look.

Interestingly, Capcom has introduced a system where players have to pay a fee to edit their Monster Hunter Wilds character’s voice, face, and body structure multiple times. This means that players may need to invest more time in perfecting their character at the beginning of the game.

Recently, VGC discovered a Character Edit Voucher pack for Monster Hunter Wilds on Steam, allowing players to redo their character creation for a price. While the base game includes one free voucher, additional vouchers can be purchased for a fee. A similar DLC pack is also available for customizing your Palico companion.

Although the concept of paying for character edits may seem excessive, there are still options within the base game to make cosmetic changes without additional costs. However, it’s worth noting that Capcom has a history of offering paid DLC for in-game features, such as fast travel and self-revival items in Dragon’s Dogma 2.

Overall, while the practice of charging for character edits may seem cheeky to some players, it’s a common trend in the gaming industry. It’s a reminder that behind the scenes, game developers are constantly looking for ways to monetize different aspects of gameplay.

Capcom’s approach to DLC and microtransactions in games like Monster Hunter Wilds and Dragon’s Dogma 2 reflects the ongoing trend of offering additional content for a price. Despite some backlash from players, these practices are likely to continue as developers seek to maximize revenue from their games.
