[QUOTE="Oni, post: 4984340, member: 380"] I thought I had given a pretty even handed and fair review of my take on the different approaches. I don't recall at all trying to justify a character without flaws and to be honest I find myself slightly annoyed to have such thoughts attributed to me. I think based on your posting that you are a style 1 roleplayer through and through (which is a fine way to do it), but consider for a moment that your approach is not the only acceptable approach to good roleplaying. Just because I didn't sit down before the start of play and say my character has flaws ABC and strengths XYZ doesn't mean it's my endeavor to play Mr. Perfect. Indeed the more organic personality that is created at the intersection of mechanical and player input is never going to be perfect and frankly in my opinion his flaws are more likely to be subtle and realistic. And I think there is a lot of good fun to be had discovering the nature of characters' personalities over the course of play. [/QUOTE]
