Should "Main Characters" be renamed?

It kind of implies you can or will play *as* these characters at some point, rather then them being important to the game world. Perhhaps something like "Important Characters" instead? -Firebird (talk) 19:33, 15 March 2025 (UTC)

It rather comes from an established convention seen in literature, stage play, movies, tv shows and other video games, where it implies all characters that have an impact on the main story, as opposed to "Support/Secondary Characters". Player character should be on top of the list and in the current state of this page, Pia and Penttila should be removed. Usually the term category to list multiple that you can play are distincted by "Playable Characters".

Alternatively could have something like "Story Characters" but then there are way way more story characters that in the scope of majority of the game's story are of a lesser importance. Currently I think for the "main" cast I would see the protagonist, malone, anya and hanss (despite not having a physical presence, he is clearly a very important and centric character in the story), possibly to that add also Eliana and Passmore if their role will be bigger as the story progresses.

That's a fair point! definitly need a catagory for characters that have pages (and im working on making pages for) that aren't "main" though. Perhaps "Story Characters" like you suggested would work? -Firebird (talk) 22:09, 15 March 2025 (UTC)
