Quoted from D:
I feel like not that many like playing sneaky, everyone tells me it's boring and they wanna rage like a barbarian. I can appreciate that but I find it a lot more fun to sneak because I feel like it helps immersion. I like to actually be scared about what's around the corner so that i'm crawling around the corner and peaking and my heart is pacing as I go in for a quiet assassination. I can't get the same realism if I'm charging in guns (or swords) blazing because I would never do that, were I to ever find myself dungeon crawling in a haunted crypt. It also bothers me that the people in the very next room in some games somehow can't hear you having an epic battle in the hallway and don't come to help their friends, and instead patiently wait their turn to fight you. (Wolfenstein actually does a pretty good job at not doing this.)
Everyone I know plays a sneak archer, except 1 other person and she is a girl. I just don't care about suspense, I want battle and chaos!!!
Quoted from Pertti Susilainen: Me, while creating a new character: "Ok, so she's selfish and kind of a sociopath, she's out there for power's sake"
Me, five minutes later: "STOP HELPING RANDOM FARMERS!!!"
It's very hard for me to make my characters deviate too much from what I'd consider acceptable. I can give them specific traits (like "can be ruthless if someone threatens their family", or "is really against fantastic racism", or "is pretty scrupulous with legal matters"), but nothing that would automatically make me feel bad about the decisions I'll take.
That said, my sneaky Skyrim character was a total psychopath, but as I said that's because I didn't find it that immersive. By the way, that was my second character - the first one (and the only one I played through the main quest with) was a pretty straight-forward warrior.
I face the same dilemma. I'm always feeling like I should be more creative with my characters...but I do find myself modeling as just a better/ more badass version of myself! Even with the Sims, which offers a lot room for creativity...I still end up creating a version of myself/ world.
Anyone ever play Banner Saga? It uses turn based combat in a unique way...feels like you're playing chess.
You make me sick
Because I adore you so.
