Your create a character is immediately beloved by every one they meet.
Hogwarts Legacy was probably the worst offender at this, but it happens in most open world CaC games. Every random NPC is pleasant towards you and happy to help you or entrust you with their lives, the main villain respects you and tries to woo you to their side because you’re so awesome and cool, and people are willing to be inconvenienced on your behalf even though you literally just appeared in their world a couple of hours ago.
It feels so pandering and takes me out of the game.
