[QUOTE="Oryan77, post: 5015863, member: 18701"] That's why people need to relax & not be so quick to find insult in someones opinion. If a person [i]knows[/i] that roleplay is important to him and that is not why he is switching games...then obviously I'm not talking about you. So a poster trying to bash me as if I'm being insulting is pretty silly. I gave an opinion about one type of persons thought process. I never said all of you gamers are just powergamers and don't like to roleplay like I do. I never even said "most" gamers. I pointed out the suggestion because I was thinking about how a few friends I used to play with are. And sorry to say, but they would switch games for the new rules because they aren't all that invested in their PCs (and I'm sure they aren't the only gamers in the world like that). Not that they don't like their PC, but from my experience, when a player has built an entire life for their PC; married, dating, owns a business, a home that they mapped out & decorated, has NPC contacts that they established a relationship with, and are known by specific NPCs for saving their town or whatever; then they tend to not want to just give up playing that characters life just so they can use Skills instead of Proficiencies, or Powers instead of Vancian Spells. The guys I know that are quick to change are the ones that might roleplay in character when an NPC talks to them, but they don't go out of there way to create a life for the PC other than killing, looting, and solving mysteries to gain XP. The guys I know that build a life for the PC that really isn't going to help complete an adventure or gain levels, usually don't care what game they are playing as long as they are able to roleplay the character they want to play in that campaign.
