Do you RP when playing Skyrim?

Post » Fri Jan 31, 2014 12:02 pm

For me the answer is yes, I'm curious to see if many others RP.

You're gonna get lots of yes and like 3 or 4 no.

I'm in the No zone as I cannot RP to save my life.

RPing is the only reason I play.

depends on what you mean. I give my characters personalities, restrictions on what they do and how they fight, only do certain quests that fit that character, with some small exceptions every once in a while if i want a specific artifact that i want, but the quest would not work.

Also, i never play DiD, cannot, in any way, see how that is fun.

No.

I play as myself transported into that World.

I do things and react the way I would.

That's complicated ( and interesting ) enough for me.

Not heavily, no. Just some basic things here and there.

So you've slayed Alduin, survived some of the harshest weather in Tamriel, but you can't add a piece of bread to your inventory and eat it? Come down to my shack Harry and we can try some... Roleplay. Bring Hermoine.... ;)

Do I Roleplay? Indubitably! I can't live without it. I'm glad TES gives us room to do whatever we like. That's what keeps bringing me back to it.

I definitely roleplay my different characters. It adds replay value when each character has their own motivations fighting/magic styles, bases of operations, etc. There are lots of ways to enjoy the game thanks to roleplaying.

Yes, I do. Quite a bit to be honest. Right now, I'm playing a Nord Knights, who has a side job as a hunter, who was robbed by bandits and left for dead in the wilderness about 10 miles from any civilization. The first night was completely terrible. I about got mauled by bears if it wasn't for some of the companions seeking to kill that bear. Now Njord, my character, has a hatred towards bandits and his job is to wipe them out. I have a lot of characters with a very immerse background. There was this Bosmer that was a "prince" in society. However, while traveling with his family they were attacked by the Thalmor. His family was murdered and he was captured. He was then moved to the Thalmor embassy in Skyrim to work there. His hatred burned against them. When the leader of the Thalmor came to visit Skyrim he tried to kill him, but his arrow missed. He got out of there as quickly as possible. However, he was captured by Imperials that were sent to look for him. The dragon saved him. Now his plan is to completely wipe out the Thalmor. He was my first DiD character. He joined the dark brotherhood and he became a master assassin. Sadly enough, he died from slipping off of a roof in Markarth.

In my eyes it's a fantasy-genre game. I need other roleplayers to roleplay with, not a computer. Giving pre-determined answers to pre-determined questions (and vice-versa) is not roleplaying. At least not in my eyes. It's still an enormously entertaining game though :)

I do for the most part. Some times though it's kind of hard to RP when something glitches out and a mamoth drops from the sky.

That pretty much sums up the extent of my RP. I don't have the imagination to think of a detailed back story nor the patience to do the realistic things that many do like stopping to eat and drink regularly, sleeping 8 hours a night, etc. I do however let my characters develop and evolve over time, mixing in some headcanon along the way.

99% of the characters that make it out of Helgen are RP's... I have done a couple DiD's and a couple I just want to do one certain thing, try something out.
