from the deep pits of oblivion Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 AlienSlof: Some of these replies are a tad rude. Nothing wrong with a bit of roleplaying - after all, this game is classed as an RPG. It's a great bit of escapism. I do something similar with my characters, though in a slightly different way. My lads are never 'me' - not surprising since they are always male and I'm female! I talk to them! Yeah, that's right, talk to them! I'm pleased when they do something I like, I tell them off when they're being bloody-minded. It's never 'I', always 'we' - where will we go next, what do you want to do, etc. They are like my buddies. For me the game is like an interactive movie. And when I put the game down, I'm back in the real world with real friends and real problems. Nothing wrong with a bit of imagination. (sorry, can't quote when editing) i am asking about that!!! i have times when i was like her. Talking, yelling, giving advice etc. i have special moments (like hard missions) like these i do these actions. I want you to share these moments. ( :thanks: Slof for help of explaining.)(Happy because you are back :biggrin: ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vagrant0 Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 No offense, you might want to seek some professional help about that. Seems like you have a hard time differentiating a game from reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing wrong with a bit of imagination.There's nothing wrong with some roleplaying, but when people have trouble seperating one world from the other, it can only be a bad thing. The concern wouldn't be as great if there weren't an increasing number of people commiting real life crimes as a reenactment of what some game character did. I mean, should someone really get that much enjoyment about the things their character does, because they controlled that character to do those things? Maybe I'm just too old and jaded.

Aoikani Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Hmm, I think I can understand where you are coming from, however I haven't been "one" with any of my characters. But I see that one could get attached to a character, especially when the rpg has an exceptional story. This is what an rpg is. It gives you the ability to fantasize about being a part of it. Fiction book authors, song writers, they too have stories to tell (besides making a buck) about what they write about. I know these things because I write books and I am also a musician/song writer. So, the more well written it is, to pull you into the story to feel it, see it's imagery, know the things the author/writer wants you to feel.. the more you will feel a part of it. Yes, one can go too far.I can say I have once.. we all kow FF7 and the death of Aerithe, well that practically tore me apart and almost didn't want to continue the story from there. Why? Because the writers did exactly what they wanted. They wanted you to become a part of the story through the role playing and to feel the story. ^ ^ And yes, I do believe you need to know your own personal boundaries too, but truthfully, have you never experienced a good book of fiction and appreciated how very descriptive it was? The more immersion there is, the more it pulls you in. :) However, I'm not really into hack and slash. Infact, my first Oblivion character mapped the whole realm while harvesting plants for alchemy and skipped the main quest for a long time.

from the deep pits of oblivion Posted June 9, 2008 Author Share Posted June 9, 2008 i don't say i always play as i am the hero. I say there are special moments when you feel you are beside your char.Okay i change the question. When did you first feel you are WITH your character?
