Oh yeah... My character also has a slight hangup over traveling into hostile lands just to kill my own factions solders... Something about "blatant treason" and all that...


... Might get over it if I ever run out of other things to do.

My character is set up to be me, so it always makes the same decision that I would. That keeps the role playing easy to do.

The fun part of playing rpgs is acting as a character in another world, so of course I try to make decisions like my characters would.

RP players are sometimes weird, especially when they start talking each other in the zone chat and they talk like this "Ser Edor, the king won't assist your wedding" or the Khajiit RP players those guys kills me "This one is proud, this one will beat you all" or when you make a mistake and you go inside a tavern to repair your armor and you found them doing a RP night all sitting on chairs and drinking I swear sometimes I cry, they don't hurt anyone to be honest and they can be very funny.

I have 6 characters I play and they all have a back story. Especially since they are all in AD but not all are AD races. I make desisions in game based on what I feel that character would do. For example, my healer will never join DB or TG. Though my Sorc has grown tired of just slinging spells and is now doing the TG questline and has just about maxed out ledgerman. And maybe one day she goes a little homicidal as well.
But I don't always adhere to each characters "way of thinking". Sometimes you gotta do things a different way than you did last time to make the game less of a grind.

Well your questionnaire sort of forced me to think and say "Yes, yes , I admit it, I am a roleplayer " .
Though I dont go around seeking for people to speak" in character" about my adventures or such, well, all my chars in most games develop their own personality I cant seem to affect, they speak to me sort of or hijack the game ;P!
And in ESO for instance, this is why of 7 I only have one char in the dark brotherhood, same one is a vampire, only char Ive managed to make who is that sort of deeply evil .
Then again most of my chars are thieves and not much into heroics, my khajiit thief is the only one who so far completed the main quest cause she felt worried about her soul being taken, then she went back to being a thief and attending to some khajiit matters :being also the Moonhallowed just makes her a prouder thief, happy to hang around Rawl`Kha.
My bosmer , uh, I wanted her to be a nice greenpact obeying gal, it was never working well, but then she went feral on me the moment I found werewolves with another char, she said thanks for the tip, went in there and got bit !
And my evil vampire assasin.. Well, after becoming a vamp and doing Lamae Bals quest she sort of actually got a little bloody tear in her eye and said she was going to go after Molag Bal= do the main quest I never tought she might do .

My characters definitely have their own personalities. My main is my "good" character (with the exception of Valaste because 2 skillpoints were too good to pass up) and I have an alt who's my evil witch - this started just as a quest guideline so I didn't need to remember which way I'd played it before but has evolved to include costumes and pets.
Then I have my thief/assassin who makes decisions to suit that sort of character but isn't completely heartless like my witch and another who is kind of me and makes the choices I (probably!) would.
I like my assassin best but am really bad at playing a stamina build so don't play her as much as I should. Love how sneaky she is tho!

I don't RP but whenever I see a traveling band, I join in with an instrument.

I change my costume, mount and pet when the region I'm going has a different climate.

I do this, too. When she goes to the desert, she wears something sleeveless that doesn't look too heavy. When she goes to Wrothgar or Eastmarch, she dresses like she's going to get cold, with sleeves and a hat/hood. I do this for other people's immersion as well as my own. I cringe when I go somewhere covered in snow, and there's some dude there with his character dressed in skimpy garb like it ain't no thang.

Also, I won't bring certain pets into cold climates, either, like my dragon-frog or my sep adder. Immersion reasons, again.

Not a Roleplayer but kind of think I would like to be.... don't really know that-all much about it. Can anyone link me to a site or something so that I can learn something on the subject? -- Thanks in advance.

I also understand that this is an MMO and you cannot create content to account for 8M player choices.

I do what I believe is best for my Imperial Legion, keeping my troops alive and healthy is my top priority! Though if I can slay some monster scum ill go a little out of my way to help!

For the big stuff (someone's life or death), yes. It would be nice if in game choices yielded greater effect, not just presence or absence of an NPC at some point or random gossip on the street. Something like fame/infamy/personality that the standalone's provided.

A world more responsive to what you've done, good and bad, would be much more immersive. Sadly, I think it's beyond the Dev capability here.
