Poll Question:

When playing an RPG there are 2 ways to associate with the main character in the game. There is the first person perspective and the third person perspective.

In the first person perspective the character functions as the player's eyes, ears, and voice as they move through the plot. Here the player and the character merge allowing the player to insert them self directly into the story.

In the third person perspective the character is essentially a canvas onto which the player paints an image and personality. These may or may not match the player's own image and personality but the character and the player remain detached from one another. Here the player directs the plot without feeling like they are directly appart of it.

An easy way to figure out which one you are is to think back to when you were playing the game and in conversation someone addressed your character. If that felt like they were addressing you then you were playing first person. If it felt like they were addressing someone else they you were playing third person.

I'm curious what people's perspective was on their Dragon Age Origins character.

Both - it depends on the character. There are some characters that make decisions I would never personally make. I am playing a city elf female right now that I don't really like very much because of how she treats Alistair (who this player adores). But, her actions and decisions work for the psychology I've invented for this playthrough. Other characters have been a direct reflection of me and the decisions I would personally make were I in that situation. In one case, I even designed her appearance to mirror my own and gave her my first name.

Third person or mostly third person. My characters are my creations and I generally dislike thinking of them as myself. However, I do identify with some of my Wardens to various extents because we e.g. share some personality traits, quirks or opinions. With the others I identify either little or not at all. I don't "inhabit" my characters any more. One of the reasons being that they simply come from completely different backgrounds.

I'm not that deep,
i just get as much armor & magic as i can,
and then beat the monsters until they dont move.

I just press [esc] through the dialogs until they are done,
with a random answer if needed

Third person. I tried playing first person, but I just couldn't get the sense that the character was "me". So, I flipped the perspective and began to think of my Warden as a separate, interesting character who just happens to physically resemble me (well, me if I was drawn by a comic book artist; I'm rather scrawny IRL).
