I play forums- basedRPG's, and the
very first character I  ever created was based off of myself. 
Ultimately I found it too exposing.  I began to take things personally
that weren't intended to be taken as anything more than elements of the
RPG, and this almost ruined my love of forum-based RPG's until I changed
the way I role-played.

Ultimately I returned to them with a
character that had NOTHING to do with myself, and I found it a lot more
enjoyable, and it's something I've preferred to do since.

I really don't find it difficult to get into the mindset of 'the
character', but that may just be because that's the style of
role-playing I'm most accustomed to, whereas other people are more
accustomed to identifying the PC as an alternate version of who they are
in RL.

Mmm, I very much understand that. Getting your personal feelings involved is in some situations very, very bad. I admit, I don't do this in tabletop or online games; only CRPGs. My dwarven warlord and drow sorceress have some kind of thread I can identify with, but gender is generally the only major thing they have in common with me. It's easier to play such a game in that mode, and very fun.

I also do forum based RP, and it's harder for me to play characters that are too different from myself. In values, morals, mindset, etc. I've tried to play really mean, dark characters, and either end up 'redeeming' them, or dropping out. And I've never even tried to play a character of another sexual orientation. Or a promiscuous mindset. I simply refuse to. I know I wouldn't enjoy it in the least. I don't much care for promiscuous people in reality and rarely stay associated with them longterm. A RP would lose all enjoyment if I tried to play one.

I don't, however, have the issue with taking things personally, at least. The only thing in rp that bugs me is when someone acts like a knowitall ****. In character, or out.

A whole lot, as per the status quo, really.

Personally, I think every character someone makes includes a part of them, whether consciously or not (there has to be points of identification for writers, for instance, and those points in created characters are little pieces of us) just as artists portray some part of themselves with their work.

Consciously playing a character as "you in this situation" can be rewarding and fun, because you have flaws and mistakes. It's when a character turns into a perfect version of you or what you think you should be that it becomes  boring, in my opinion.

Exactly! Flaws are what separates a Mary Sue from a real human being. Knowing your flaws and making those mistakes you would probably make; it feels oddly cleansing to understand yourself from the outside and inside at the same time, after a fashion.

And I very much agree about the value of identification.

EDIT: The song was hilarious. XD

   I'm so glad you noticed that! Electric Six is some craaaaaazy boys.

This is a love song for myself,
For me, by me, everything it oughta be--
A self-centered melody in the key of me...

I will always be here for me (Fortunately for me!) 
Come with me, my destiny... (lies with me!)
I will sing this song of me (to an audience of me!)

Have a Fenris, Wynne [smilie]../../../images/forum/emoticons/grin.png[/smilie]

Yes, please! But next time, can I have the one where Lady Hawke is staring at Fenris's booty? I love the booty.

I am so glad there aren't any
vocals in the Love Theme (so it seems). Felt like Leliana and Morrigan
were singing somewhere in the backround while I was "licking lamposts"
with Alistair[smilie]../../../images/forum/emoticons/pouty.png[/smilie][smilie]../../../images/forum/emoticons/unsure.png[/smilie]

*lmao and dies* OMG Margaret!!! It's too true. Nice as that woman's voice is, I can definitely do without hearing Leli singing during my sex scenes.

Yeah... MY GOD I JUST HEARD VOCALS AT THE END OF THE SNIPPET!

I can't bring myself to go into the spoilers thread.  I won't even have the game until the 11th at earliest, I may have to go on blackout the 8th through the 11th so I don't spoil myself to death. 

[Maera Imrov]

I have visited the thread. But I'm one of those odd psychos that aren't bothered by spoilers, and instead get more hyped. I guess I'm more into the 'how' something happens? I'm so very odd.

[Golden Saint9872]

Is there anything new? I'm not going through 60 pages. Tankgirly said we found out where he lived? And where is that? Congrats, 20 pages to 1000

[Sabishii123]

Any chance the page will reach 1000 before DA2 release...T.T

Well we've been through 50+ pages in the last 3 days or so, so we're pretty much 100% going to reach 1000 long before the release date.

I have to say I really like the Fenris theme and some of the others tracks the soundtrack seems way better this time.

[Valeria Cousland]

Fenris's MANSION?

. . . . . maybe after we kill the Magister Fenris takes his house.

[Golden Saint9872]

@tankgirly
Thanks!

[Most Definitely Sane]

Ahhh!!! Tomorrow will be my last day here due to the fact that I will be going into the blackout I've been postponing for the last month now.
On topic, I'm quite thrilled about the thought of Fenris having a mansion. Will be quite nice after we clean off the blood from fighting through it.

And a warning, some guy made a thread with a spoiler in the title.

LMAO - My god, I sort of feel bad for laughing but that was just too funny - especially that last b**** slap where he runs first.

Unless everyone goes on blackout, I'm considering it, but I enjoy seeing everyone's posts and prompts.

I need a hug...Stupid spoiling troll with his *censored for language too strong for humans to listen to* and his *censored* *censored.*
This thread is the only reason I'm still here.

That's very true, I'm kinda fearing that that might happen ( the everyone goes on blackout ) ..I really want this thread to hit the 1000pg mark..

Fenris has a mansion?

Varric: So when are we throwing the elf a housewarming party?

Hawke: I guess so, what do you get the man who has...well nothing?

Varric: A toasting fork.

Anders: A toasting fork?

Varric: When my folks kicked me out of the house they gave me a toasting fork. Well they threw it at me, but still it kept me happy and full of toast for about a week. Then I ran out of bread.

(Fenris enters the tavern and sits down at the table)

Varric: Well look who showed up. So how goes your first foray into home ownership?

Fenris: It goes well. Tell me, does anyone here know how to get demon blood out of a carpet?

Anders: Club soda. Works every time. (notices everyone staring at him) Or so I've been told. Not that I've had to clean up massive amounts of blood for any reason. I should get back to the clinic.

[bobbyjoe123]

@Dr.Doctor: lol that's funny
