Roleplay

[stormlord]

When paladins act valiant to save a life or there's a dwarf in the group or ogres act retarded or erudites behave in a superior manner or something of that ilk I usually can't help myself. Role-playing is easy when you're not the only one doing it. And it helps when ogres look dumb or dwarves look funny. I'm prejudiced towards them.

Oh, halflings that only care about themselves also cause me to /autoroleplay.

Did I miss any? (probably)

I think how the race looks has a lot to do with it. A lot of humor in the old models.

The newer models tried too much to look like heroes/villains, IMHO.

But I always make every issue about the models. Even global warming can be blamed on the luclin models.

I used to roleplay quite a bit, though like many, people don't seem to have a place for it when they game any longer. It's all about the grind, the loot, min-maxing to the extreme.

Hell, I used to keep a crapload of my old armour around for my toons that looked absolutely badass visually, but sucked otherwise, simply because of the fact that it fit the character.

If I had the rhyme or reason to do so, I'd do it in a heartbeat.

I think we all know that RPrs come from all walks of life. Fact is, some people RP to get away from the stress of RL. Some RPrs are in high pressure jobs are maybe want to get away from the life they have at home for a bit.
Honestly, the powergamers who have the be #1 and have to stand above the rest are the ones with the inferiroty complex IRL and have to get themselves a rep as "the man" in a game for the lack of being "the man" in the real world.
