You can make your targeting reticule to a smiling face, and keep custom decals on your weapon. Tier 1 perks will allow you to customize your player to give him a unique look.
Fable III (Xbox 360)
Peter Molyneux is often mocked in the gaming community for his belief that in Fable you can do anything but realistic players that look more like a mantra game strives instead of a literal fact. True innovation happens slowly and gradually, and Fable has always been about trying new ideas. In Fable III, Molyneux hopes to eliminate some of the clunkiness of traditional RPGs by removing many of the menu functions and rely on the game universe to change your weapons and clothing. While Fable series has never been as good as Bioware titles to let the election affect the main story has Fable III always been more a sandbox game than a true RPG, and those are the features that have customers waiting for his release
Fallout: New Vegas (Xbox 360, PS3)
Set three years after the events in Fallout 3, lights and desert wastelands should add a perfect backdrop for this post-apocalyptic odyssey. The game is being developed by the good folks at Obsidian Entertainment, many of whom worked for Black Isle Studios on the original Fallout game and sequel. The recommendation would add some life to boring, bland brown landscape of Fallout 3 while maintaining a large part of jazzy charm mutant Tussle, and life-altering decisions that make Bethesda a leading publisher of open world gaming.
