It gives a lot of freedom for sure. Starfield was my first NG experience and it opened up a whole bucket of new possibilities for RPing lol

I have done it as part of Sam's story when he was my main companion. But I haven't leaned into it yet either.

I also usually pick shows/movies to set the mood for the playthrough and watch them in between sessions for better immersion lol.

LOL my NG+ canon is that she loses her memory after passing through, and then gradually regains it along the way, so my UC story was a result of her trusting Sarah more than her previous self did, and instead of becoming a pirate captain, she joined the Vanguard (Va'ruun'kai pending lol)

I do this with stories that make me uncomfortable in some ways! Like an "evil" playthrough - if I'm ever forced to do it - would be the opposite of what I normally do, so I'll make a character who's specifically *not me* so I could instead disconnect and use them as a narrator, not a protagonist

In some cases for sure, but my way of connecting to a story is through a more or less self insert, and I would never write my own character as a parent, so instead I feel resentment. Like something was forced on me that I didn't choose lol. It's definitely preference tho, and I love F4 regardless

it's like welp I haven't found any actual reasons for valid criticism so I'm gonna uhh

*checks notes*

bitch about how your character in Starfield is given a profession but not a name

???

I'm in the blank slate camp for sure and I *hated* how F4 locks you into the parent role from the very start, but both cases allow you to RP pretty much anything, as long as the game provides a somewhat valid background to your story. I hate that people tie themselves in knots to hate on a game D:

Oh no I agree that gamers™ are prone to ignoring stuff lol. I just mean more like, imo, such messaging plays the same role as ominous music or captions in film - making sure that the gravity of the situation is well translated, regardless of how you're processing the story.

This makes my head hurt. What does this guy think roleplaying means 😭

Is he familiar with the concept of TTRPGs or just, RPGs in general? dnd? Like??? I'm so confused is this person okay
November 17, 2025 at 2:49 AM
To be fair, a lot of such design stems from desire to boost accessibility. Any sort of disability that limits or even prevents access to otherwise clear/obvious mechanics or messages requires safeguarding. I.e. you can't simply get rid of ominous VO or captions if it's the one thing people rely on

the fact that it doesn't magically transform the game's price tag into $5 is very disappointing tbh

but you see men are *people*

Yeeee, happened back when the whole Ezra Miller scandal was still in full force. People misgendering them left n right and saying "who cares, we're talking about a bad person" when called out and like bro?? How does that change a person's gender lmao maybe don't weaponize their identity idk
November 16, 2025 at 8:02 PM
man people really do think that it's okay to say bigoted and misogynistic shit when it's about bad people huh
November 16, 2025 at 7:56 PM
And beat the shit out of them with it?..
November 16, 2025 at 3:15 PM
She seems rather excited too 😅
November 16, 2025 at 4:27 AM
listen tweeting and sucking dick at the same time is pretty tricky okay
November 16, 2025 at 4:10 AM
THIS.

People assume that if you (woman) romanced NPC (man) in a videogame, you must be straight, when in reality you might have any number of preferences AND play as various genders/identities across your runs. Like??
