Since I feel like being unnecessarily literal, being immortal means you can't die at all; old age or physical harm.

/crusadervoice - "I'm Invincible!"
Ahem. I would prefer invincibility. To watch all those whom I love grow old and die, and even those whom I do not know.....would break my heart. And if I was immortal, I would live like a lich. In a big evil doom fortress surounded by wards and traps in case someone wants to come stomp and me and steal all my precious knowledges and magic I have spent hundreds of years studying!

Immortal, because because life is like reading a really good book; I just want to know what happens next. Anyway, I've been doing a good job of not dying so far, and most of the things that I want to do are pretty tame, so invincibility seems unnecessary.
not to be nerdy but...
well if immortality could also mean a car could fall on you and you'd still live but go through horrifying pain but invincible would make feel no pain it'd be a hard choice... BUT the way you said it makes immortal better because both you'd feel pain but immortal meant you wouldn't die unless you where hit by a car and invincible the car would crumble on you so therefor GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!
doing it the nerdy way there are so many things you'd have to put into perspective, like with invincibility could you withstand an rpg to the face like your head isn't blown to pieces or it regenerates and immortality do you age or stay the same age, and would you survive a car crash but that would make it like invincibility so immortality would be the better choice an......
you know what im not going to continue on because you left so many loopholes in this about feeling pain and being crushed and being shot ect; that both have no information on and makes no real detail about what where choosing.
I know ive probably fed every troll on the escapist that'll quote me and harass me but idc...

I think most Immortality described as forever young.Glamorgan said:
So ageing wouldn't be a problem.
An Axe might be though
For me....
I'd say Immortality, Invincibility would, in my opinion make a person cocky and arrogant, what consequences could they face?
I would choose immortality, but with two considerations, only if I remain young and if I can physically change e.g. weight exercise makes me stronger.
I'd try to learn as much as I could and train my body to peak human perfection, I earn millions of dollars gather political influence and try to shape humanity for the better, or more realistically do whatever I want. The only downside is I could see myself becoming agoraphobic and afraid of any injury. But this way I could eventually die when I wanted.

Invincible. If I was immortal,I would keep aging and stuff. I learned that from a Justice League episode.
Invincible, totally. I don't think I'd like watching all of the people I knew die and I think I'd probably get massively bored after a few hundred years. And think of the amazing stuff you could do, like clearing landmines or rescuing puppies from nuclear reactors.
Also, what would happen if you were immortal but someone cut you into bits or blew you up? You'd be in pieces but still alive.

Immortal. Like basically everyone on the planet, I could avoid most physical peril. Invincible seems a little silly to me. Seems like the only purpose to invincibility would be for attention, because what is the point of invincibility if you do not proactively use it, and proactively using it would eventually garner attention for it.
And the whole super hero thing if superhero comics have taught us anything, would work until you screw up and loose the favor of the public. Though it would be rather enjoyable to have invincibility if you plan on being a villain with the power, until you get subdued and have to spend the remainder of your life imprisoned.

Invincibility easily. As I say in every other topic regarding immortality, I would NEVER live forever. That would be awful (just play Lost Odyssey and you'll see what I mean). Besides, invincibility gets rid of a hell of a lot of worry. Maybe I could jump out of speeding cars for fun, or sky dive without a parachute.
The key there is most everyone, and that happens to most human beings anyway. I would rather outlive some of my friends than every single one I ever make ever. There is also the fact I wouldn't outlive any children I may have, which is a big thing for me. I don't want to see any offspring die, let alone entire generations of offspring. That's really my point, with invincibility I only may outlive some, most, or everyone I currently know. With immortality and a stable lifestyle, it becomes a mathematical fact that I will outlive everybody I ever come in contact with.viking97 said:
