Title: Multiple main characters?
Post by: Nine Toes on Mon 05/01/2004 20:37:45
Is there any way to switch the main character to a second character, or to be able to select a main character at the beginning of your game?

Or would it just be easier to have one main character, and if I wanted to make another main character just select a different view?  I know it's just easier to select a different view if the main character changes clothes or puts on a costume for example, but I'm talking about two totally different main characters.

If you still have no clue what I'm talking about, here's an example:
In Resident Evil 2, your main character is, say, Claire.  During part of the game later on, the little girl Sherrie has to run and do a task for Claire, at that point you take control of Sherrie until the task is completed.
