But in some single players games it doesn't make sense to make characters like me. For instance in Mass Effect (I don't know if you've played that), there your character is in the army. I enjoy just making up a character as well, though. :)Ravanelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03447777640056476366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922857679980740630.post-82146632540831179212016-10-22T19:16:41.364+02:002016-10-22T19:16:41.364+02:00Great post Rav!

I've realized that, for me anyways, it really depends on the game. In simulation games like Sims and YouTubers Life, I try to make the avatar as similar to myself as possible. But in games like Minecraft and Tera, I go crazy to make my avatar look however I want her to look, but my personality is still kind of shining through in actions I make my avatar take. I think the topic at whole is super intriguing! Thanks for the share!! I really enjoyed reading this!Jenn | Lattes And Lifestylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04271968450464507672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922857679980740630.post-29110133933228175942012-05-31T22:36:08.450+02:002012-05-31T22:36:08.450+02:00Hmm, you have a point there.

My boyfriend, on the contrary, doesn't have any problems playing female characters. What is that with men playing female characters anyway?<br /><br />I actually have an elf rune-keeper who's a total feastbeast, spending far too much time partying in Rivendell and looking in the mirror. Certainly a silly elf too, I'd say. Your weed-dealing hobbit made me laugh so much! I can totally see that happening. You will have to take back that "I lack imagination"-comment now! Good to hear that your characters don't resemble yourself too much in your case, though. ;-)Ravanelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03447777640056476366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922857679980740630.post-62152073816547114892012-05-19T19:50:10.823+02:002012-05-19T19:50:10.823+02:00Twitter handle?

I don't think it would be something for me - I don't even have a mobile phone at the moment.

(And if you do, sorry that I've missed them so far.)<br /><br />It's really an eye opener that so many blogging people create stories for their characters.

My LotRO main is nicknamed "...Love your posts. My LotRO main is nicknamed "Riv" :)) (Hard to guess from my Google name, not.) <br /><br />I play on roleplay server, but I don't really roleplay. Much. Have tried, it's not really something that would fill my fingers with adrenaline, even if able to do it time to time, so I stopped it. Also, my main is an elf, and to competently roleplay that in Tolkien world takes a bit more than, say, roleplaying a drunken and crude dwarf in some other game, maybe. <br /><br />Anyway, interesting about the character and person connections. I have thought about it. All my characters are females. When I log onto my boyfriend's accounts, where all the characters are males, I always feel such testosteron overflow and have hard time associating with persons on screen. Maybe I lack imagination, that I cannot play another person that is not my gender? <br /><br />Also, my main is runekeeper. That fits in the sense that I don't like to take myself too seriously (and runekeeper in Tolkien world is definitely something to not take very seriously ;) ). In my mind, she's a bit silly (can an elf be silly? I hope so :) ) Clumsy and laid back. Doesn't really fit into the doom and gloom company of elves I have sometimes seen around in Rivendell. She likes pickles. <br /><br />I also have a woman guardian that gets a lot of playtime. Now that's much easier to roleplay! She's very silly and drinks a lot. <br /><br />I also have a hobbit who has alcohol problems and who deals weed back in the bushes of the Green Dragon :)) <br /><br />But now I digress. Just meant to say that I guess I also put some of myself into characters I make (well, minus alcohol problems and weed dealing, of course :))Rivhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04561804353287763337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922857679980740630.post-68307270856051025372012-05-18T18:17:08.050+02:002012-05-18T18:17:08.050+02:00Rav, do you have a twitter handle?Rav, do you have a twitter handle?rowanblazehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06820814610269599162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922857679980740630.post-72220860847980481962012-05-18T18:10:02.532+02:002012-05-18T18:10:02.532+02:00I'm glad to see you have personalities for you...I'm glad to see you have personalities for your characters. And it is never too early in your blog to post about them (If it is, I did it wrong). I love to read and write vignettes, developing the characters we play.

Perhaps blogging people just have a larger imagination! ^^<br /><br />I love the conversation options in SWTOR too! On the other hand, I often do get the feeling they're a bit too black-and-white. My jedi sentinel Haradwen is typically someone who means well in her heart, but does have a temper and feels hatred when facing injustice (not very encouraged traits by the jedi council). It's hard to develop this in a system where everything is just "good" or "evil".<br /><br />I'm glad you liked my post, I'm looking forward to the summary of everyone who joined for this challenge!Ravanelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03447777640056476366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922857679980740630.post-53533994944911380892012-05-18T17:04:11.451+02:002012-05-18T17:04:11.451+02:00I'm the same way.

I know that Ambermist's (and Ambera Mist's, har har) characteristics don't show in the pixels as I imagine them, but it sits well with me knowing what she's like in the big picture of the story. <br /><br />SWTOR, especially, let me make Ambera's characteristics more real through conversations and choices--it's why I ended up at 50 barely being in Dark I!<br /><br />Great post, thank you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
