Topic | When creating a custom character for games, do you generally... (Question 2) |
turbopuns3 12/05/19 8:16:44 AM #24: | I've had this conversation a few times with my friends who play DnD. For some people, immersion and role playing come much easier when the character is similar to themself. Think of it this way: you're already in a world entirely different from your own, (magic everywhere, or in the distant future, or on a different planet, etc.) so it's not as if there's a shortage of room to roleplay or exercise imagination if the character is just a carbon copy of yourself. It can be more of a burden or hindrance to have to imagine also existing fundamentally differently (as an orc, or a space alien, or what have you) on top of that. Just being yourself but in a different world can be more than enough. I'm in that group. If I play fantasy games I'll often create a human or very human-like character when roleplaying is prevalent. I can see how the same concept could translate to immersion in a video game. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
