I’m working on a RPG sort game - Set in a world that will have a variety of Lore, Mystery and so forth. But my question is, is it best to allow Players to keep their personal Avatars or have them design their own Character(s) using a restricted Customise system in-game?
Personally, I believe by keeping it restricted means the Players choice in Character design will reflect on the world design.
What do you think?

This really depends on how exactly your game is made. I personally always prefer custom characters. If you do use custom characters, I recommend making sure they reflect the general theme of your game and also add in ways they can upgrade it (buying clothes, hats, accessories, etc). For me, custom characters just tend to make the game feel more “professional” in a sense, and allows the player to be motivated to earn money or do things to upgrade their character.
However, if your game is more similar to “Welcome to the Neighborhood of Robloxia”, it makes more sense to allow the player to use their Roblox avatar, as that game is purely role-play based.
Hope this helps.
In my opinion, Custom Avatars are the best to keep your game more unique and themed to the game, I personally, recommend you to add a kind of special “potion”, setting, or maybe a special thing in a shop that can transform you into your Roblox Avatar, or maybe a special gamepass, but I think Custom Avatars are the best option in an RPG.
