Roleplaying in games

[MonTy]

Hail all,

Thanks Nystul, Pete, and Mith!

Here's my main advice for roleplaying in these games: write about your characters!

-- Nystul

Writing my character first on paper seems like a perfect idea to roleplay it. Unfortunately, I never roleplayed in person with a group. Besides information from Baldur's Gate, I don't know much about AD&D.

I consider this to be pretty stupid since to roleplay a character well, that character needs to be realistic. And, realistically, people tend to go in the direction of their talents.

-- Pete

I was argueing with myself about that. Do people in real life go into a profession that they are highly skilled at, or something they are pre-destined to? All depends in which you believe in more I guess.

IWD2, on the other hand, I would venture to say ould be impossible to play through with perma death rules on your first run through

--Mithrandir

Thanks for the advice Mith. I'm sure it'll be invaluable. I think I'll play permadeath with my own little rules that would make it more fun for me. If one or two characters die in a fight, I can revive them. But if three or more people die in the party, some mighty god will force me to keep one random character dead . Not too harsh, but will still keep me on my toes (I hope).

Thanks again for the advice, I'm off to write down some characters!

*edit* I really never use smiley faces , but this time I put one in a paragraph and somehow it ended up in the title. Amazing!
