Hello Astrotronic! Thank you for the response! I can understand where you think Epic stands on it. It’s unfortunate though as I know over the years that the story development for Fortnite characters has been on the shorter end of the stick in the last couple of years. It’s unrealistic that they give each character such important stories, but I think it’d be of great benefit for the game if the people could create narratives with their existing characters and hence, allow people to play as them.
I do hope they implement more flexibility with the usage of the Disguise device to use their greater library of characters sooner than later. The maps that I’ve been working on originally had planned using existing characters with FN, but I’ve had to shift to referencing them in the world I’m creating rather than them being playable.
Hopefully this reality will be sooner than later!
