Isn’t the core tenant of a role-playing game to immerse yourself into a role, something you’re not? If you’re an insufferable dangerhair in real-life, what’s the appeal of playing one in a video game? Wouldn’t you prefer to be a badass knight or powerful wizard? Why would you choose being a Redditor over a cool fantasy character? Why choose to bring your real-life sex confusion roleplay into a completely alien world full of mystical characters?

Roleplaying as a Pixar interpretation of a grizzled veteran that got her tits torn off by an ogre in Origins is gonna be ♥♥♥♥♥♥ lit though.
