Poll: Hatred Towards Roleplaying

[Zack Alklazaris]

I love roleplaying, the keeps the relationship alive and inter... OH you mean video games.

Yes I enjoy it, its why I like MMOs such as Old Republic. Online video games in general though allow you to be a true part of something. Which helps you roleplay. Even though I love Mass Effect, and Mass Effect did a excellent job sucking me into the story no one will speak of my conquest nor my character. Online however, I have had Alklazaris rein supreme and be admire not just within my guild, but within the server itself. He becomes larger than the one controlling him.

That just can't be duplicated.

Other voter here;

I found D&D online the dissapointment I figured it would be from the outset. D&D is a very sensative intellectual property to work with given what it's table top players expect from an experience. Right now my party's rolling around with a Champion of Odin - Paladin, modest level etc... etc... Guy's got a huge charisma, a noble heart and all the brain power of a fart in the wind. When the party needs to do things, and doesn't want to have a cavalier with a giant hammer come ridding in screaming: "For Justice!" we have him guard thatch hut rooves for demons. Seriously, thick. Find that outside of table top!

As for RPG games, I'm a fan of games like Skyrim right now. I've got Baldur's Gate 2 installed right now - great game by the way - and I've always enjoyed old 8bit monster slaying grinders like the original Final Fantasy Games. I find most online gaming isn't designed for Role Playing - Star Trek online a fine example of NOT DESIGNED FOR ROLL PLAYING! So I confine most of that sort of thing to either single player game experiences or table top gaming. Computers and the Roll Playing part of gaming still have a long way to go in my opinion, but if they get there I'll gladly hop on board.

I play D&D and role play characters in my brain when playing single player RPGs. That's about it though.
