Roleplaying in FOnline:2238
OskaRus:
I think that playing SPECIAL is silly but fun. xD Real wasteland roleplay can hardle be achieved in PvP game. As my friend once said: "RP in postapocalyptic world is just being you but in rugs, dust, hungry and threatened by everyone else." (We do live postapo larps in some abandonned military areas from time to time.)
jonny rust:
being myself with elf ears in a fantasy RP is just as logical. Anytime you RP you can either; place yourself in an environment and react according to how you personally think you would in a given scenario, or you can place yourself in a fictitious environment AND adopt a foreign personality. Imo either one is fun and legitimate, the second is just a bit more 'advanced' i.e. more intensive and more of a commitment.

Forgive me but I didn't read all the back posts because, frankly, I didn't feel like it. (Just being honest here) I don't really know all that much about the tech side of this game and I don't think I need to. (The magic screen box provides entertainment and I just go with it) But I would say that part of the fun of this game is playing a character who is very much unlike yourself. For example, I have a character who's basically a peaceful hippie monk type and I find it fun to stay "in character". The fact that it's a bit of a challenge makes it that much more rewarding. When faced with a troll that I'd just LOVE to tell off and shoot in the face (not necessarily in that order) it's fun to stick to that pusillanimous wimp personality and simply forgive them repeatedly until they get frustrated and leave. On the other hand, it is admittedly a blast to play yourself too. Since you can have alts you can go with whatever you like on that day. It's good to step out of it sometimes though... In base we're usually just us, discussing things that we would discuss. Yesterday it was our favorite lunchmeats I believe... Mine is pastrami by the way... ;)
Point being, I think this world is flexible enough to have a bit for everyone and I can't wait to see what gets implemented next!

It was demoralizing to see the first response in parallel with GM and player interactions.
SIGH.
There's nothing better compared to passive roleplaying or when you can roleplay without the help of an adult and their baby milk bottle.

Cool thing indeed, but that had already happened in the past - so this is not much of a step, unless FOnline history is a large circle? 8)
It always happens in Reno though ;D
