It's interesting because you have to take out a single sentence, in isolation, and cutting out all the rest to try and make a point. Unfortunately, every single edition of the game ahs proven you wrong, and I've given you tons of examples. If it says that you are like an actor, then it requires a least a bit of acting.
Because you forget all the sentences that come after: "Roleplaying is, literally, the act of playing out a role. In this case, it’s you as a player determining how
your character thinks, acts, and talks.
Roleplaying is a
part of every aspect of the game, and it comes to the fore during social interactions.
Your character’s quirks, mannerisms, and personality influence how interactions resolve."
And then there is the entire "
Results of Roleplaying" section, have you even read it ?
Again, and again, and again, biased and incomplete reading.
And after that, you cry "but I'm a true roleplayer" when I speak of thin veneer on a powergamer's build ?
