The gaming industry is in a constant state of evolution, yet a limited number of studies have explored the impact of character animations on shaping users' interpretation of a character's personality. Perceived character personalities can be crucial in eliciting emotional connections with players. This research delves into the effect of character animations on players’ perception of personality traits and their impact on play styles. The study involved 22 participants and utilized the Big Five TIPI test to assign participants to characters with congruent personality traits. The findings from the Wilcoxon Signed Rank and Mann-Whitney U tests demonstrated that character animations do not impact a player’s gameplay style. Yet, the results suggest that character animations have an impact on personality perception and gameplay enjoyment, especially for extroverts. Despite that, the absence of homogeneity and the characters’ appearance might have contributed to biased results. Further research with an unadorned character is required to investigate potential confounding factors, including a randomized sample while establishing participants’ baseline before the experiment to control aspects that could influence the outcomes.
