Guys,huh,what means Role Playing?people in the forum keep saying this,what is it?

It's when you create a story for your character. Like playing the game a certain way, or the choices you make in the game would be what your character would do. Edit: If you read the "Backstories" thread, that can kind of give you an idea.

Role Play in a game like Skyrim is to play as the character, doing what a typical character of that type would do. For example:

1) Warrior-Likely to join the Companions and destroy the Dark Brotherhood.
2) Magi-more likely to look around for spells and eschew the mundane warrior arts.

This+what I posted.

doing what your character would do, typical of that type of character or not.

Thanks a lot guys!




now I think I'll create a backstory for my characters then,thanks !

But only if that's a white knight type of warrior. You could also create a psychopatic murderer, or a free-spirited swashbuckler, or a mercenary. And they all have their own reasons for joining (or not) the Companions etc.

As I see it, roleplaying isn't as much about who your characters are as why they are this way. If you start out as a warrior, you don't have to stick to it throughout the game - but if you start learning magic, your reason shouldn't be 'Because I read on the forum there's this cool sword in a quest-locked dungeon', but rather 'People he met during his adventures taught my Nord to overcome his initial prejudice against the arcane arts and he decided to study them in order to gain better understanding'.

No problem.

There is no official definition. To some roleplaying is any kind of a game where you assume a role. In Mass Effect you assume the role of Shepard, in Skyrim you assume the role of Dovahkiin. That's all. To others roleplaying is not tied to the game but the way you decide to play that game. You can play Skyrim as a CoD-with-swords if you just go around killing stuff, skip all dialogue and quests, or you can play it by walking everywhere and carrying only one weapon etc. and here the latter is roleplaying.
Another view to roleplaying is not tied to the character at all. To some, especially old-school roleplayers RPG means that whatever your character is, the point is in the game itself. To such people a "true" RPG requires a plot with many choices to choose from in all circumstances. Character building itself is secondary, though obviously a good thing. The point is in good storytelling and a sensible plot, not the explosions, good graphics or even with how long the game is.

And of course there is the really hardcoe old-school gang to which RPG simply means games that they happen to like themselves, usually older PC-exclusive games.
It's all a matter of opinion.

EDIT: And there is also the definition of roleplaying that Bethesda exercises, where they intentionally leave holes in the story so you can fill them yourself. You need to create your own backstory, you need to create your own official version of events, it's up to you to decide who is the good and bad guys, etc.
