He has many qualities that I have, but he is his own person. He makes the choices more than I do. I am just the one controlling him. I unintentionally gave him parts of my personality. He is more or less a fantasy.
If I had him do what I'd do in every situation, he'd be running for his life all the time. I don't like to play as myself because I want to play a fantasy. I don't fantasize being a depressed Khajiit. That is just part of the role play.
