System Shock 2 opens with playable character creation that also functions as a tutorial. Your trainee goggle-wearing badass walks off the street into a recruitment center and signs up to be a marine, or an engineer, or a psychic black ops agent. Then you choose where you'll be posted for each tour—decisions that alter your stats—and an instructor teaches you how to use your abilities.
