Definitely. My elven mage is proud and charming. His goal is to prove the whole world that magic users of elven origin are superior to human ones. Also he is rather curious whether templars are useful to mages or not.

His biography is not so clear to me because I need to know events from the origin (magi) story. Friends or foes are to be determined.

I always do on my first play though. My first time playing is always the most important one as it is the original. After that I don't RP as much as I know the story and breaks the immersion, so then I go more for combat and tactics.

I tend to play my favorite alter-ego. A Rogue/Ranger combination (or closest I can get). Fairly decent guy with a bit of a temper but basically good.

I have a vivid imagination so I can pretty much adopt his story to anything pre-generated in a game and such. Dialogue options can be frustrating at times but I do my best to work around them.

If you think to much about anything in a game you lose immersion so I find it best to suspend belief and override any hard-coded story elements with something creative

Yeah it's much more fun roleplaying a personality different from your own. I have already got a background and personality in mind for my first character Mouser.



He is just a down-to-earth rat-catcher looking forward to his wedding as the game begins. When my characters are just starting out I often have an idea about their personality and attitudes, but these are not set in stone and evolve and change as the adventure proceeds, shaped by the world and upon how my character is treated.



Part of the fun for me is picking conversation options and taking actions based upon what my character would do. Sometime this means doing really foolish things that I know will probably disadvantage my character, but that for me is part of the fun.

I agree, i also have a background story which only exists in my head, but that's enough. the game doesn't know his background and no one else, one person is enough to give him a deeper character

[Sshodan]

To a point - I have several established role playing characters that I port from one game to another with me, and since I used them in my field role playing days, as DM later on and in some of my literature work and art even later they have very detailed personalities and backgrounds. I adjust the story from game to game of course, to fit the local flavor, but personality and quirks remain the same <br />
Since I had them for so long they all carry an imprint of my own personality to a lager degree than any char I created for sort term use, but those imprints are certainly buried deep enough in trails I surely don't have to make it a deep role playing experience

I usually have a bright and clear vision of who I want my character to be and what I want him/her to look like, in most games. When I'm finished with the character and appearance I think of a fitting name, and then companions/romance options depending on the game. I pick the most fitting dialog options and choices, and even focus on the fighting style. Everything is equally important to me.

Roleplaying is fun.

[Enuhal]

Of course I do.



At least until I've done and seen all of the important decisions and played with every party member. Depending on how challenging nightmare mode will really be and if there'll be things like no-reload-challenges, there might be some powergaming for later playthroughs, then.

[koshiee]

w/out planning on it I did, that's why I kinda wished the character creator had more versatility cuz my character isn't exactly how I imagined him to be

[Tharissa]

It's a big part of the fun for me as well, I like to see where their personality and background takes them (or gets them into trouble.)

[Krusayder]

Roleplaying is half the fun for me. I always try to come up with a background story for characters I create in any video game.

That's exactly what I do most of the time! I've had the same characters and names for over a decade now (with additions over time, of course) and couldn't imagine abandoning them. Some of them are in my subconscious all the time. Does that make me crazy?

Same here. No use playing role playing games without roleplaying. <- lolphrase

I roleplay from a 3rd person perspective sort of. No one knows everything about my character, not even me. But it will be revealed more and more as I play and get a feel for the character, and I develop the character as more and more ideas of his past, his mood and character comes to life. I then use this more and more to influence the decisions I have him make.

I like this approach better than having a rigid backstory which sometimes I find out doesn't fit with the direction of the character as he develops.

I sort of approach my characters as I would a painting. You have a general idea of what you want the finished result to be, but as the painting develops you get more ideas and sometimes go in a completely different direction than what you had planned originally. So I keep "painting" my character (both his backstory, personality, morals) all through his career, all the way until the later stages of the game, where I consider the painting to be done.

Yes of course, not a lot of fun playing through six games or more as yourself.

[Randy1012]

Definitely. I try to give all my characters a different background and personality. Like my human warrior, for example. His name's Declan Cousland, and since he's the second son of a wealthy and powerful family, he's had pretty much everything in life handed to him on a silver platter. So when his father and brother leave and Highever falls, Declan ends up forced into a role he never expected and definitely isn't prepared for. It's gonna be a lot of fun watching him grow as the story unfolds.

[JEBesh]

I don't RP them, but I have been known to impulsively read dialogue out loud. Sometimes. What?

[Ballaorf]

Hm... I guess I'm not as far out as I thought I was!



Like a lot of people are saying, most my characters have personalities, backstories, morals, a certain sense of humor, etc. I find that this comes out when I create characters. Sometimes everything looks right, but something just seems OFF. And I think "No, Darken wouldn't be smiling like that..." make it a blank slate and BAM! There's my character.



I don't really RP in-game, since I always play good characters. Depending on the character I'm playing, the way I go about it might be a bit different, but, to-date, most games don't have enough grey that it makes a difference: At the end of the day, you're still just doing the right thing.

[stevej713]

Most definitely. I have been planning my character's personalities for many months now.

[Monkey777Love]

yeah i rp my idealized self



oh that doesnt count? to bad!

[Seagloom]

As some others have written, I tend to role-play characters. Either older characters from past stories or tabletop, or ones I come up with immediately before playing. I'm not sure I'd enjoy playing myself in a game like Dragon Age. I'm way too soft spoken and timid, and would probably feel bad and start doubting myself at the first sign of trouble. But more importantly, most games don't give me enough options to act how I really would under the circumstances.

[Dennis Carpenter]

Always try to role play as much and whenever possible, its what makes the character and the story come alive. Sadly there are times in the story line when you want to make a specific choice but are severely limited to what the designers give you as options so you do the best you can. That is why I create so many characters of each race sex so as to get as much of the story as possible. Remember that the story though linear to some extent is still varied by choice and character so what you get as a male noble you wont see as a dwarven commoner. this way I get to play the game at least eight different ways before i get a good grasp of the world bioware has created.

[Cyanax]

Glad I'm not the only one who does that

[Cat Lance]

Completely! It's why I play these sorts of games!



Their personality and how it changes over the course of the game. How they interact with others, etc. Ah! So much fun!!!
