[QUOTE="uzirath, post: 9337519, member: 8495"] This has always been the heart of playing TTRPGs for me, too. I mean, I can have fun just playing the "game" part of it, especially if the game itself includes engaging choices (e.g., I sometimes enjoy GURPS tactical combat without any RP), but this isn't why I play the games. I like creating characters rooted in a culture with their own hopes and dreams. Throw them into an imaginary world with a team of other characters and see what happens. I find the experience quite captivating. To your specific questions... Yes. However, there's only so far I can go. I tend to be fairly gregarious in real life. Playing a silent stoic type is not fun for me. I also don't usually enjoy playing characters who I despise. (I don't mind making terrible choices at times or being a deeply flawed person, but I wouldn't choose to play a full-on sociopath as a protagonist.) That's my goal, though I'm imperfect at inhabiting a fictional personality. Sometimes more of "me" bleeds into it than other times. [/QUOTE]
