Ah yes. Player choice for an avatar that in most games is nothing more than an avatar. What complete ****.
And don't even try and bring "but male Samus!" into this. There's a difference between a defined character and something that's supposed to be a representation of the player. Personally...
Oh no, people would have had a choice?!?!? The horror!
Nah now that Link is getting solid characterization and voiced characters referring to him by name, that's the end (for now) of the whole "avatar vs character" bit (at least for this game). If they're going that route, cool. If they change...
