[QUOTE="clearstream, post: 4921098, member: 71699"] My conclusion does not state that optimised characters are not roleplayable. Heck, that's one of my premises (all characters are roleplayable). It states that a given value of roleplay (e.g. I am a pie) will match to a given value of character (e.g. a pie) and that character (pie) will either be blueberry or it will not be blueberry. If, undisclosed until this point, my value for roleplay was one that was not_blueberry, then lords and shepherds we discover that I have a dilemma. I must either abandon my value for roleplay in favour of one that includes blueberry, or keep my value for roleplay and not choose (play) a blueberry pie. At times, I won't really care much if I change my tastes - perhaps I don't hold them strongly, or I feel that a mild change is acceptable - but at other times I may cleave to my tastes and with justice declare myself to be facing a dilemma. And that would be true. -vk [/QUOTE]
