I made a few ventures over the net enquiring about the PWs for NWN2 - I am not a multi-player in the rpg genre actually but nontheless I was curious to see what's this all about even though I am not planning to join any PW for now.. (Online strategy games ftw)
The point is I almost always came across the "rules" of the pw and regularly there was a part about how you must roleplay in character as much as possible.. You'll say - that's why it's called "rpg" , duh.
Well, you see, I (you) can't roleplay someone really.. I can "roleplay" what I feel to do at a certain time. That's mostly powergaming but that's besides the point. I mean to say that this notion to "roleplay" means nothing. Can you explain it? What they want to roleplay actually? To stay as close to your alignment/class/race as possible?
Ok, lets say I'm playing a character which is lawful good - does this mean he can't do bad thingz? Is this realistic?
To make it more simple - the whole notion of "roleplaying" is idiotic - you don't play a role, you play a situation after situation. I could be a maniacal killer in this area and a goody two shoes in another - is this roleplaying or a whim of my brain?
Oh, fuck "roleplaying", I'd like a challenging rpg.
Ok, thanks.
