Rules need change.

[John Churchill]

You also state that you've role played for 13 years. Cool. Want a cookie? If all you've ever played are computer RPG's like Final Fantasy, then no, you really don't know anything about role-playing. The name I use on this forum is from my first RP character - my main alternate persona - that I created when I started role playing Dungeons and Dragons - not AD&D, not 4th edition rules, but the original three little white books - back in 1978. 35 years ago.

That is very much it. Those are games in which you really participate in creating a world and characters to populate it (although I prefer Harnmaster over Dungeons and Dragons). Most video games don't give us these options, but Discovery amazingly does. For this world / universe to be believable however, we need rules to guide the player's conduct, and this is where you simply have to trust in the people creating these rules who are giving so much to make this game so enjoyable for all of us.
