Tell me your ideas of LARPing in games (doesn't matter which game). As a rough reminder: LARPing is when you impose your own restrictions, rules and ideas onto a game, and play the game after them. Examples:
- You play as a peaceful guy and try to avoid combat whenever possible. Being stealthy is your friend. Stunning or charming enemies is acceptable as well. Running away is better than killing someone.
- You think the world has become shit, and the only solution is to destroy everything. So you try to destroy and kill everything and everyone in your path. You make no difference between good and bad. You make no allies. You even kill NPC shop owners and remove yourself from acquiring specific shop items (choices & consequences). The weapon always speaks first. Even if the game magically protects some NPCs, you will show them your hostility as much as possible.
- You join and serve only one faction in the game. You will stay with this faction until the end of the game. Your faction is your home. You will also dress yourself in the same clothes as the other members of that faction. For example you will dress yourself in the same robes as the characters from the mage faction you joined. You pretend to be nothing special, "just another random guy of this faction“. Wherever you go in the game you see yourself as a representative of this faction.
- You dislike capitalism and don't want to support it in any circumstance. You restrict yourself by never buying or selling items in any NPC shops. You can only use items which you either get as a reward, find in the game world or are dropped by enemies (I got this idea from Lands of Lore 3 where you spend a lot of time selling shit). You can also steal items (if your conscience allows it) or craft items from ingredients you found.
