RPG techniques you use in real life

[Saldrone]

I often got distracted by side activities instead of doing the main quest.

 

[Kruyurk]

I ask people to escort me for safety when I must go through a bad part of town. But these people always walk too fast and I have a hard time keeping up with them.

 

[mondblut]

When I suddenly stumble into a dead end, I glance down and to the right, checking if this little guy in bottom right corner is waving his paw indicating that the wall can be smashed through.

No, it seriously happened.

 

[Ba'al]

At character creation I picked "autistic" because it gave a bonus to intelligence, forgetting to read the downsides.

 

[Hag]

Sometimes I sleep to recover health and stamina.

 

[NecroLord]

i skip dialogue

With women?

 

[ds]

I ask random people if they have heard any rumors lately.

 

[NecroLord]

I associate Jews with Gnomes and Niggers with Orcs.
Thank you Arcanum.

 

[Odoryuk]

I often find myself exchanging money (GP) for goods and services

 

[Nathaniel3W]

I quick save right before I'm about to do something stupid.

I haven't figured out how to load an old save game though.

 

[Talby]

Sometimes when I kill people, I get this message superimposed onto my retinas.

 

[Silverfish]

Whenever I go shopping, I always offer endorsement in exchange for a discount.

 

[spectre]

I don't savescum, but only because that's enforced.

 

[Nifft Batuff]

I throw dices to inform my decisions.

 

[Jvegi]

I use guides a lot. Also, I often watch other people do stuff rather than doing it myself.

 

[SixDead]

My live is like good old rpg - there are no romances.

 

[Mr. Magniloquent]

My favorite part is character creation.

 

[holla_cabezas_de_mierda]

have not done this but I have wanted to for awhile, but am too lazyand don't know where to begin.

But thought with how Millineals and Gen-Z love to guzzle stupid energy drinks you could make some to at first be sol at gaming conventions and comic shops (and maybe eventually stores if they did well) that are sold in a potion looking flask with cool Dungeons and dragons looking artwork that have names like 'Potion of Intelligence' that might have Ginkgo and whatever other bullshit in it, or potion of Speed could just be caffeine and maybe vitamin B or Potion of Hill Giant Strength as a pre-workout thing might have Caffeine, protein, some amino acids, etc..you can think of some more, I thought of a few more besides those.

The artwork and flask/potion thing would have to look right, and might be expensive, but selling them in a regular looking can is dumb and pointless.

 

[holla_cabezas_de_mierda]

I have a 10' pole

 

[holla_cabezas_de_mierda]

I walk into walls

 

[0sacred]

I try to initiate romances by feigning a mild interest in my companions' personal lives and then wait for them to infodump/jump on me.

 

[Serus]

My life is not a real CRPG - there is no combat.

 

[JarlFrank]

I keep growing my questlog but rarely finish the quests.

 

[NecroLord]

My life is not a real CRPG - there is no combat.

Real life is a storyfag rpg.
Except the story sucks balls and is boring and dull.
No heroism, exploration and discovery and adventure.

Why do you think rpgs were even developed in the first place?
It is escapism aimed at allowing people to create their own avatars, their characters, to see them fight, die, bleed, overcome the most dire enemies and challenges and to become something more (if the players are mature and not complete idiots, that is).
To escape in a world that is better (or worse) than this one.

 

[Gahbreeil]

When I go to a pub, it usually ends like the Diablo 2 intro.
