Roleplaying in FOnline:2238

Would you use one "true" (RP) character backed up by many different crafter/miner/farmer alts?
Would you "divide" one character personality in different alts, so each alt incarnates one of your characters abilities? (as in, having one SG crippler alt, one SG crafter alt, and one slaver alt, so you can roleplay a "slaver gunsmith with an impressive marksmanship")
Would you try to make a build that reflected your character's concept/personality, or would you make some especialized, minimaxed, efficient build no matter what your character's personality is?

-Yes, as I generally only use one anyhow(at least especially so earlier on in the wipe. Alting comes later, with boredom, in my case).
-Again, yes, as most at this time know my one 'normal' char this wipe was Kyoo, which I still consider my main. Generally I avoid the alting but after so long, and with boredom, making a new type of char is one way I combat the staleness of the gameplay for me. For quite awhile, I got by with just a SG pure combat build. Which was rather enjoyable.
-No and this sort of justification is just an act to try and tie roleplaying to alting. Which is stupid, they do not mix for a reason. Each one caters to specific tastes, and while the game supports both(hard to Not support either of them), the type of fun in each does not mix well. Players of each need to remember that what they consider fun may not be for others; a rather simple fact. Sadly, the internet makes fewer fucks given over time.
-While I would like to, the Fallout system doesn't really leave it so that I could combine a more RP-inspired SPECIAL and remain non-cannonfodder in encounters, so nope. My SG burster is niche focused and ugly. It fits him anyway.

Well, everything's possible. But don't expect too much from MMOcRPG game, even if it's related to Fallout saga. FOnline gives you same "freedom" as the single player did. You can act as you want, if you meet a proper people to do some RP it's just for you and your friends fun, not for wasteland-wide fame and dozens of forum post how awesome you are. If you meet "lulzy" people just don't care about 'em. There's a different mechanics of FOnline, so no more superhuman saviours. If you adopt the "new rules" everything's gonna be ok, if you're ready that you will surely die many times.

Roleplay is definitely possible, but it remains a dead utopia because on a server there can't be only roleplayers.

Errr. i was wondering...Tell my one game where RP playing is secure without have to create special non-pvp places.
I mean. why do you like to RP? did you ever make pure Fallout RP in a Fonline game?
What do you want to do in a RP like...Maltese Falcon? drink beer? talk about pixeled tits?
Sure roleplay is definitely posible, but dead utopias are not dead. dead utopias were never alive.

tell me Reiniat, why do you like fallout?
If it's because of the story; the characters, the environment, the idea of a post-nuclear world which is so interestingly bad-ass that you can't help but submerse yourself in it, well, then its only logical to want to see it through your characters eyes and interact with it as if you are actually there...
If not then please explain; why do you play fallout or why do you even like it?
RP is still possible without being safe (I find its more fun that way) and PvP can be a great aspect for RP as there are times where your character needs to 'shut up and nut up' but if the ONLY reason to play is to kill kill kill, well then there are lots of games with much better shooter physics/gameplay.

People who try to destroy RP projects just need to be viewed by the RP as the enemy; the natural scourge of the waste land, and an inevitability in a harsh world.
imo, the hard part isn't the dying, it's the "lulzing" that accompanies it which you need to translate into something that makes sense to your own interpretation of the world. But, if you're roleplaying then your excising your imagination, something the 'lulzers' are decidedly not doing, and which you can hopefully use to counteract their actions.
