Do you have any self-imposed rules while playing RPG?
Of course. No fast travel. My actions are based on character lore. This usually determines who lives, who dies, if I steal, what sort of quests I'd do. I can't even relate to people who play games like Skyrim or Read Dead Redemption without making their own head cannon. It adds so much fun. Which I know will piss off people here who need hard coded classes for everything, but we're all different.
>>3907580My hours played must not exceed my character level.
No crying until the ending
>>3907580If you don't, you're not role-playing.
>>3907580I go into the first playthrough blind, make the decisions I would have made IRL. I also make the character resemble me as much as possible
>>3907915>I also make the character resemble me as much as possibleAre you good at swordfighting, or casting spells?
>>3907929It applies to modern and scifi settings since I have decent marksmanship and also kickboxing experience
>>3907870the game is role playing for you, hence role playing game
>>3907580Only when I'm given too much freedom and want to play like a specific archetype of character.
>>3907747It's not over til the crying
>>3907580I'm not allowed to jack off to the girls anymore
No lying.No behaving dishonorably.No stealing.No poison.No unholy magic.
>>3907929No, but according to my dreams I'm good at stealth and have spells that aid a rogue/ninja/spy archetype.
>>3908913difficulty: impossible
>>3907580I hit myself when my character is hit
If its an actuall RPG, skyrim is more of a grind slop so I don't care.
>>3909639Do you touch yourself when your character is touched too?
>>3907580No minorities in the party
>>3907580No sassy/snarky brown people in the party. No female warriors unless they are like 7' muscle girls.
No using consumables.
Never miss a gold hairpin....and never wait for Shadow.
>>3907580Playing an RPG without falling asleep is enough of a challenge as it is
>>3911658Someone needs to go back to /v/.
>>3911599Based and checked.>>3911811Checked, and I might suggest his level of autism belongs better in /pol/.
>>3907929I would be in the game's setting
>>3908989you can still goon to troons and pretty boys though
>>3907580I never romance anyone, ever. Unless the character is already married then I romance the wife.
Run away as little as possible, unless backtracking through earlier territories.If there is a thief, I must use it.
>>3908027The game has a role?
>>3907580>Impose strict moral choices and limiting conditions on myself >All of the best content is hidden behind le Reddit murder hobo choices and cheese-fest style tactical gameplayIt's not easy being the only one who cares about decency.
>>3913699Which games? Most games I've played tend to reward goody-two-shoes behaviour.
have fun???
>>3907580Be nice to Kid.
>>3907580>I will finish the game>I will only play the game onceThose are all my rules, and I fucking hate video games...but I bought all these cunts and I gotta play them before I die.
>>3913699>>All of the best content is hidden behind le Reddit murder hobo choices andI'm with this anon>>3913719Most games give you bad endings, fewer quests/interactions, and have you miss strong loot for picking evil options. I still remember seeing kotor discussions online and thinking "???" because I killed fallen apprentice on Dantooine and went straight to murdering the sand people (so skipped the translator droid), meaning I completely missed both Juhani and HK
>>3907580depends on the RPG but if its "open-world" i try to disable fasttravel via console or get a mod that does that. Makes every open-world RPG like 50% better instantly
>>3916365Open world is shit because it makes you waste your time walking between the interesting parts instead of just having a game that's only those. That's why you have to mod the game to force yourself not to use fast travel.
>>3916365>get a modWhen you're ready, you won't have to
>>3916350Neverwinter Nights: Hordes of the Underdark seems to be an exception to this. There were some really cool armor pieces for sale that were available only for evil people
>>3907580Only allowed to play bearded men with longswords
