Talk:Principles of Roleplaying

Sociopat
I can take a guess: It’s hard to play a character with faults/flaws that can have a negative impact on other players. Take Nomine for instance (a rogue with a penchant for the women I believe), can cause problems for people who didn’t know it’s just his way or been on the receiving end once. That’s a mild example I suppose.

Who about someone who always hates the forsaken, will always be seduced by gold and never gives in to his or her hearts desires (corny?).

This character would I suppose always attack forsaken players at every chance even if it drags their comrades into the fray. Probably ninja chests and gear which is probably a bad thing if you don’t at least give it to the group later or with people who don’t know you. And as for the hearts desires item you may woo and charm someone of the opp gender but grow cold to them when they show a little too much interest.

It’s hard to stay in character and do something that’s going to rile some people up or cause problems than do the "right" thing and go against your characters core tenants.

Like me, I actually have a problem doing this since I’m supposed to be a paladin who just doesn’t care anymore. I will come across someone who has just joined the choir invisible and look around to make sure nobody is watching, ress them and run off. If people where around I would just “shrugs" & "rifles pockets" and ride off.

Sorry to rant on, not used to posting at all.
