Crimson Desert: Fans Regret Limitations on Damiane's Character

After Crimson Desert players began unlocking other main characters besides Kliff, they quickly realized there were several limitations associated with Damiane that affected the overall experience.

The Crimson Desert community feels sorry for Damiane.

After players reach Chapter 3, they will be able to unlock Damiane, offering their first chance to experience a different main character than Kliff. Especially given the general dislike of  Kliff  , this is a much-needed change of pace.  Damiane  herself has a rather interesting backstory, with unique weapons and a fresh fighting style.

However, there are still many aspects of controlling  Damiane  that the gaming community finds too restrictive. According to a recent Reddit thread, user  KryperExpress  expressed frustration at feeling that  Damiane  has a lot of potential but is being limited. While wanting to control  Damiane  to explore the game's vast open world, she is locked out of many important skills designed specifically for the main character, Kliff  . 

Furthermore,  Damiane  herself is locked out of many different content areas. Besides being unable to complete the main story quests,  Damiane  is also restricted in many other side content, such as  "not being able to Visione, not being able to enter the Abyss, not being able to use Tether (or any other 'Powers') required by many puzzles, and even being excluded from a series of different mini-games." 

The problem of exploiting too many main characters in a game.

Most comments in the thread expressed agreement, with one person stating that while they appreciated the differences in combat mechanics, they also felt  "she had no reason to be in the game,"  and could have easily  "existed unnoticed . "

From here, various ideas for improving the character emerged, ranging from reducing her role to that of a playable companion to completely transforming her into a female version of the character and allowing her to be more involved in the main storyline.

Overall, most agree that the character still has much untapped potential, and the core issue lies in  Crimson Desert  's approach to many of its main characters , which feels superficial.

Of course, it's not easy to effectively develop two or three different main characters, and these are perhaps the most famous examples of correctly employing a multi-character approach.

There have also been recent cases where two separate games were created for the two main characters,  Grace Ashcroft  and  Leon S. Kennedy  , yet they still intertwined. If not done skillfully, other characters alongside the first main character can feel forced, and  that seems to be the case with Damiane  .
