I can hear it in my head. :"Oh Teagaaaaaaaaaan!", considering how Isolde speaks to him when they meet, I would not be surprised if she had fallen to her knees before him quite aptly a few times before.

Two fat women getting angry over a video game...oh the drama!

Then people tell me it's all normal to have feelings for video game characters. Yes by all means, if you can call those two normal.

Yeah. It's not like I've decided he's the love of my life or anything, I just think about how I'd react if a RL BF decided to, say, get married after moving to a different city and expecting me to follow a few weeks later.

FAIL.

As I repeat myself time and time again. Your comparing a situation in a game to one in real life.

What should it be compared to then?

[Costin_Razvan]

To nothing really. Some things should not be compared to others.

Gorim's refusal to come with you is a game mechanic. I was a tad disappointed myself when he refused to come, but I knew it was because of limitations in the game and took it as such.

So we shouldn't be peeved when our character's BF ditches them very shortly after reaching the Surface to get married because it's a video game and thus cannot possibly equate to any RL scenario?

You'd think you'd have a stronger RP attitude if you're writing fanfics.

And the not coming was explained: plot-induced injury. It's the geting married that was entirely unnecessary. Practical, yes, but not mandatory and so while I can understand it it still irritates me.

Wow. Inappropriate much? Not sure how their weight has anything to do with it.

I thought it was a great video. But I don't want an option to hurt Gorim, I want an option to convince him to ditch his new life and come back to me, lol.

To have emotional detachment from the game is to completely miss the point of RPGs.

A RL situation has far more depth to it then a game situation, no matter how similar it is to a game one.



Take for example Bhelen's bid for king. Could you really kill your younger brother in real life after he plotted to kill you, and exiling you to the Deep Roads. the same little brothers you spent almost twenty years of your life with? Ponder that for a while.

"So when do I get to meet the lucky girl?"
"Oh she's right over here. Let me go get her."

"My lord, this is my wif-"

"Gather your things Gorim. We're leaving."

You've never met my brother have you?

And yet it is far easier to make a choice regarding a character in a video game which you spend about a few minutes time with, then to that of a real life person you know for years.

 You've never met my brother have you?

You have never meet mine! I utterly despise that man, doesn't mean I would kill him even if he tried to kill me.

That is why you play a role. As in Role Playing Game.

If you can't do it, that is your problem. Don't insult others for being able to do it.

I believe what we have here is a difference of opinions . . . and possible actions.

Well of course. If you couldn't differentiate between the two you'd most likely be schizophrenic. That doesn't mean you can't be emotionally involved in the game. Whether it's an rpg, a book, a tv show, a movie, a song, a poem, etc. etc. etc. it's entirely normal to have a vested interest in the outcome. Whenever you commit your time to something fictional, you want the characters to make you care about them. If they don't succeed in doing that, then you won't enjoy it so much.

If he pulled what Bhelen did? Probably. And it's not like you outright murder him; Bhelen only dies because he attacks you. Self-denfense right there.

If Bhelen had no problem doing it...why should you if you can assume that role?

Exactly my point. In that you cannot simply ever handle a situation in a game like you would in real life.

...how is that making your point? 

[Costin_Razvan]

In that handling a situation in real life cannot be compared to handling one in a game. You will have emotions about it, but at the end of the day, not so strong ones as those you would have in real life.

I don't think anyone is saying they are as pissed as if a RL SI pulled something like that but you can still make comarisons and get annoyed about it.

[Costin_Razvan]

Looking at the two in that video, I got the distinct impression they were saying they would have been as pissed if someone had pulled that off in RL.
