  • What about old (and new) isometric RPGs? Those frequently involve creating a character and picking a portrait (you can often add one to a custom one to folder also to add it to the game). Those can be a bit much I suppose. Have a look at Tyranny (a newer one). It’s not too long. Very well written. Lots of choice.

    There’s also Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing which both feature character creation, and both sound like they might fit your time schedule. Very drop in once in a while kinda games.

    The Sims maybe?

    Terraria features character creation and is a 2d platformer, so you always see your character! You quickly get armor which covers all of you, but you can hide or cover it with purely cosmetic items. Easy to get into. Very fun game that lets you mess around at your own pace.

    Certain RPGs have a third person camera instead of first. Check out Kingdom of Amalur: Reckoning. It’s not as complicated as some RPGs but it’s very enjoyable.
