By making choices in the game, you're roleplaying.2. A greater extent of/advanced roleplaying is when you make choices that you as the player wouldn't want to make, but which make sense for your character.  They're imperfect examples, but A. refusing a reward from villagers because your paladin character would think that they need it more, while you the player would very much like the reward; or B. Retiring or sacrificing a character that you like and have spent a lot of time developing, because that's what you think fits the character. It's sort of the not-terrible-meme version of "it's what my character would do!"</blockquote>
