That doesn't mean being selfish, but you're not being selfish. I totally understand where you're coming from. Right now when it comes to this character you're in an "explore her moral landscape" mode, and trying to squeeze that into a dungeon crawl is going to frustrate everybody. I'd go for having your PC go off in a crisis of faith, take her out of the campaign for a while, and if the mood strikes you, bluebook her experiences outside the game. Then at some point you can bring her back, when the tone of the campaign's back to what you like.Now for the big advice: Find a way to enjoy the delving and hacking. Wait! That's not a "Deal with it" platitude. I mean really find some element you can enjoy. Think of it this way. You'll be out of your comfort zone, flexing different parts of your brain. Doing that with your current character, well, that would probably suck. Doing it in a totally different way could be fun.I'd talk to your fiance about maybe being a mini-DM. Come up with a hireling that is totally different from your current PC. Most of the time, you could play that character. But you could also be a kind of Adversary, roleplaying some of the NPCs that they meet in the dungeon. Your fiance could give you enough information about their motivations to make things fit, but leave you leeway on what their personalities are like.So you might play the hireling for a while, then if they're negotiating with some goblin tribe you could play one of the goblins, etc. etc. It'd be a chance to mix things up, and while it wasn't exactly what you were looking for, it'd be an opportunity to try something different while helping the GM out.The reason I'm giving you that advice, is, well, it's what I'm doing. I'm in your fiance's shoes, and the solution we came up with was for her to do what I'm suggesting you try. She's totally digging it. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Just a thought.</blockquote>
