Why do you ride ponies? : Othor Games

Honestly though, as a kid I created elaborate fantasies in my head. I would play them in my head at night before I went to sleep, picking up from where I left off the night before.

I still do this, actually, though more often when I'm listening to music at the computer. Depending on what's going on in my personal fantasy world, I'll play different music to suit the mood (or use the music to put me into a specific mood). It's very good for relaxing and stimulating my imagination.

Hmm, never really thought about it. It's just been something I've always done. :smile:

Got exposed to fantasy literature in the 70's, with Tolkien and others. Played original D&D and AD&D in the late 70's, started CRPGs in 1980 (Ultima 1 and Wizardry 1), JRPGs on a friend's SNES (Secret of Mana, Final Fantasy 6), been doing it ever since. :biggrin:

I play all sorts of RPG's, Bethesda style RPG's I play for the rich lore, setting and environments which can easily svck you into their atmosphere, JRPG's I play also for story but not as much the lore, beauty and environments but rather the challenge of building your team or character and of the fights that are often a lot more restrictive than in Western RPG's but a lot harder. And 'Pen & Paper' RPG's I play for the freedom and for the actual roleplaying of which you can do little in most all video games.

I like all kinds of games, but one of the reasons I love RPG's is because the world is made for you to explore, you create your own story go your own path. I've always loved fantasy and such so being able to put myself in another world where I'm capable of doing whatever I want is awesome.

Yeah.

RPG because I like to pick attributes and perks and see how they enhance my gameplay.
Bethesda because of big open world, first person view and rich lore. And Argonians :cool:

Ours is to game on, marsh friend.

Exploration of a vast landscape/gameworld and tons of phat loot and a sense that I have some control over my actions and what I feel like doing with the game.

...ooo run-on sentence. Fun.

Why do you play RPGs?
What is it you get out of an RPG you don't gt from another genre?
What about a Bethesda RPG do you like?

For me most RPG style games last alot longer then other game genres. I mean really I went through Modern Warfare 1 and 2 in roughly 12 to 13 hours each time. Great game, but that just makes me feel like yawning after awhile. The only way to make those type of games last longer is keep starting over before you hit the end.
