Message: <blockquote data-quote="RoughCoronet0" data-source="post: 8348355" data-attributes="member: 7031665">Only speaking for myself as a player, the game world and it's story/history is the main thing that excites me regardless of its relevance to me as a player or my character. I am the person who collects every book in Skyrim in every major playthrough and reads through all of them (and I've played through that game a few dozen times now). I'm the person who reads all of the codex entries in Mass Effect or Dragon Age or any other game with massive dumps of lore and history in game. I'm the person who scours through various different wikis of games and other media of fiction to learn everything I can about anything that may interest me. I am the person who watches hours upon hours of lore videos on YouTube about various media franchises. I'm the person who reads D&D books, especially books full of lore and fluff for fun.So any time the DM is about to drop some big lore reveal for the main story, or tells us what an old ruin use to be used for, or shares some neat story or legend the locals like to tell travelers who stop in their town, I'm a happy camper even if my character wouldn't be interested in said story or lore. I'm sure I'm the odd case, but for as much fun as solving puzzles, experiencing tough and interesting combats, and influencing the world personally can be.....learning about the world and it's history and legends will probably always be one of the best parts of any campaign for me.</blockquote>
