Character creation is something that plenty of gamers enjoy, especially when a character creation tool can be used to create some hilarious and strange protagonists to traverse through the world ofElden Ring. OneElden Ringplayer, u/PercyWolfAndrew, decided that their character would be based on the “handsome” version ofShrekseen inShrek 2, posting their creation to Reddit. ConsideringElden Ring’scharacter creation has the option for players to make their characters green, some wondered why the player didn’t go all out and make aShrekcharacter instead.
With some good attention to detail, theElden Ringplayer managed to make a decent version of handsome Shrek in the game. The comments of the Reddit post were pointing out the similarities not only with theElden Ringcharacter and handsome Shrek, but also the fact that the created character looks like another well-known fantasy figure.
