[QUOTE="sniffles, post: 3963410, member: 30035"] Like you, shilsen, I tend to try to roleplay my character in combat situations and do what I think that character would do, not what is necessarily the most tactically sound choice. Naturally I can't separate myself from my character completely, nor can I turn off my knowledge of the game rules. But I try to keep in mind that my character doesn't know what I know; he can't see the table from overhead. And I don't know what he knows either. Admittedly, though, the character is always an extension of me, so he's probably going to do something close to what I would do in a similar situation, if I had his skills and abilities. I think it's easier for me to stop thinking strategically in combat, though, because I'm just not a tactical thinker. If you're really good at that then it's got to be a lot more difficult to turn it off and just think about what your character knows, I would expect. [/QUOTE]
