In this episode, we discuss character progression, how it differs from player and subjective progression, and how character can manifest not just as an arc through the story, but through gameplay as well. We look at examples as wide ranging as The Witcher, Street Fighter, X-COM, Battletech, and Gran Turismo. What do all of these games have in common? What can they tell us about character in video games? Well, you’ll have to stay tuned to find out!
