We act out ours too.What I mean by immersion is that we tend to act our scene.
Like if we meet a guard at a gate and must pass through, we’ll start a conversation in character and then, if a roll is need for X reason, the DM will call it. The player never start by saying « alright, I’ll roll diplomacy to try to convince him to let us pass. ». Or if we search a room, the player will describe what he’s doing and won’t just call « I’ll roll perception to search the room ».
You rock up, say your due, then if you're lying, you roll your Deception/Bluff/Misdirection/This Week's Word For Lie. They're not mutually exclusive.
Not always. sometimes there are curse words.You don’t get someone else voice in your head when you go look for your keys, but I’m pretty sure you don’t yell « I’ll roll perception to try to find my keys » either.
