Do you "roleplay" in non-TTRPG Games?

I play a lot of city builder/colony sims. A lot of these games don't really have a definitive end game and the environments are procedurally generated, so role playing as the leader or even making decisions for inhabitants based on their personality is where some of the fun comes from.

In terms of creating an avatar persona, and then making decisions in the game based on my interpretation of how the created persona would choose?

No, I don't do that in other games. I will sometimes make decisions based on objectives other than winning. Like "I want to keep the game interesting but will ultimately let her win" when playing with my 10-year-old, or "I'm going to try to see how well I do without playing any science cards" in 7 Wonders. But that's not based on any sort of roleplaying persona.
