[QUOTE="Bedrockgames, post: 6267755, member: 85555"] To me immersion doesn't mean I never break character or view the game as an exercise in acting. All it means is I play the game and make my choices from the character's point of view, I interact with the setting through my character. Being immersed just means I have the feeling of being my character in the setting. It doesn't mean I can't pause and tell a joke or get up and eat a slice of pizza. There are things that will mess with my sense of immersion, but I think this is different for everyone. For example, one thing that has always jarred me as a player is stuff like wish lists. Things where it feels like the setting is shifting to accommodate the desires of the player, when it is apparent that is what is happening, disrupts immersion for me. This varies from person to person though, I have people in my group who value immersion but are fine with wish lists. [/QUOTE]
