[QUOTE="Razjah, post: 6202486, member: 98806"] It does in my experience. Any game that mechanically rewards building a character and using that character's traits to accomplish goals tends to encourage more roleplaying- at least from what I have seen. FATE does this with the aspects. Your high concept, trouble, and other aspects details things about your character and how he or she typically reacts to situations. Getting compelled by those aspects earns Fate Points to later spend on rolls. So playing a brash, charge first type guy can be rewarded allowing more charging and strike-first type actions. While building a occult bookstore owning cowardly demonologist who gets "hired" by God to fight demons can earn lots of Fate Points from freaking out in situations, fighting demons while terrified, and being an occult know-it-all and playing to those roles can earn more FP to spend fighting demons and researching arcane lore [this is not at all based on my current character... nope... not one bit].
