I think you misunderstand what I mean. I play it like an actor playing a part. An actor has to play it as if they're actually the character they're playing and that they're actually there. A lot of really nice people also play villains in movies and plays. They do so by becoming the person they're playing, not by being themselves. Saying that, a naturally good person does find it easier to play a good character, because then they can put more of themselves into the person they're playing.

Exactly. You see yourself as the character. I see myself as the director... in a sense. More so... a third party.

I let the character tell me their story.

I am in no way saying what you are doing is wrong. I would never try to say someone is playing the game wrong. Let's be clear and I sincerely apologize if it comes across as such. I just wanted to point out that some amazing players, that are have constructed some incredible stories and shared them with others, do not necessarily portray the character as an extension of themselves.

I would definitely put them in the same league as Master RP,s. In Fact it is those amazing members of the Oblivion and the Fall Out forums that inspired me to look at my game in another light and it changed the way I will play forever.

The best way to survive is to shout FEIM-ZII-GRON and run away and jumps down from few tall cliffs. Going underwater as an Argonian is a good way too. :smile:

I wouldn't even want to play the game without difficulty increasing mods and roleplaying. The game is too easy and simple otherwise for my liking.

Well, I see myself as partly the director too, especially now that I'm past most of what Beth set up; now that I'm largely having to make up my own plots. As a matter of fact I'm also going to be writer, as well as actor and director.

Well, you can't get much deeper into RPing than that. :tops:

Uh-oh...er, I find it easy to play both good and evil. What does that make me? Confused? On a serious note, I'm not my character, so...

I'm even hoping to do my own quests later on based on plots I have planned for my character. I'm also planning to play an evil character that I hope to add to a quest for my main good character. Unlike my good character he'll take more effort, because I'll be doing things against my own personal conscience. Like I said, it's all about acting, only in the form of a video game. But whilst playing him I'll also be developing his character and planning his future, just like a writer would plot a character's development. I did something similar for my main character, Chadric. Whilst I played him like an actor would I was also, and still am planning his future. But like I said, it was made a lot easier because I was putting a lot more of myself into him, which wont be the same for my evil character. For my evil character I have to act him out like, "What would this sort of person do now? How would this sort of person handle this?", whereas with Chadric I was making friends with people I personally liked, or betraying people I really took a disliking to, or wanting to get out of a place because I didn't like it there. As a result, a lot of me is in the character. With the evil character I'll have to enter a totally new mind-set completely and do things as I would see that character wanting to do, how they'd react to a certain situation. But it doesn't escape the fact that I'd still imagine being that evil person and use my own negative instincts to resolve questions about how to react to things or situations, just like a nice actor might one day have to step into the shoes of someone like Hitler, and use his own personal intuition to act as he'd feel Hitler would have acted. Phew!

Listen to professional actors in interviews. They say they become who they're playing whilst they're playing the part. A lot say they put a lot of themselves into their character, especially when the character is a good guy. And even when they play evil characters they get a kick out of it, because they can open up and use their negative instincts to play the part. Take the actors in the original Star Wars, for example. The actors were constantly having to "fill in the gaps" left by Lucas' dodgy writing. They became the characters whilst at the same time putting a lot of themselves into their characters. Han Solo wouldn't have been the same if he was played by anyone other than Harrison Ford, for the simple reason that Harrison Ford not only played the character, had to pretend he was actually Han Solo, but by doing so he had to put a lot of himself into the character. And the same goes for any actor who plays bad/evil characters.

For me, there is no role-playing in Skyrim, all the "role-playing" things being discussed are pretend only, the is no class and background to role-play with, only "Dragonborn", that is the only thing i role-play but still role-playing Dragonborn is actually simply being a badass person on the land, don't need to be a Dragonborn for that at all

I only play Skyrim, there is nothing to role-play about

My current character is a Breton, she have no connection anything in the game, even the Forsworn are Bretons, there is nothing to link Forsworn to her, so cannot have a sympathy or hate toward Forsworn. Similar to many other things such as Imperials and Stormcloaks. There is nothing to role-play in Skyrim.

Once you get to Whiterun, never leave the city again. That's the ultimate way to survive Skyrim. ;)

Really...i meet a couple, a man and woman, cooking in a small camp, i kill them...i kill them because they flag as "bandit", no question asked, no heart feeling, "the game say you both are bandit, so i am justified in killing you both", no matter if they are just married and having a good honeymoon or something, i don't need to know, i meet them i kill them

What is to role-play?

You can play the game however you want - that's your choice.

Others may play the game differently, and have a different perspective. That's their choice.

In role-playing game i would ask "who are you guys? what you guys doing here?", if they are friendly and i am a good girl i may join them in a dinner, or if i am a bad girl i kill them and rob them

But in Skyrim the hunters and bandits are both the same look, hanging at camps, i going to meet them turn out to be they are bandits, and so kill them, in other case i am sniping hunters...

The most important trait you need for RP is imagination. I've used it a lot whilst playing Chadric, even more now that most of the vanilla game's finished for me. I use it to fill in the gaps left by Beth. Now I'm using it in order to continue Chadric's story waay past the vanilla game.

Qis, as you're having a hard time with RP, I thought maybe you'd be interested in http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/25404/?tab=1&navtag=%2Fajax%2Fmoddescription%2F%3Fid%3D25404%26preview%3D&pUp=1 mod. I'll be using it for my next two characters that I have planned for eventually adding to Chadric's adventures.
