I like to believe I do roleplay as intended, but as I'm giving my own opinion about myself it's bound to be flawed. My first character was a junker, on that one I acted like I would oorp, but after a few years of experience RPing I learned to play all 3 sides - the bad guys, good guys, and the guys who don't give a rat's bollocks. One guy is a reckless and fearless old timer who cares about too many things, another has more bark than bite, he's all talk and pretty mean, and lastly I got a guy who's pretty much never communicating but isn't afraid to casually stroll right through a Scylla pirate party (*cough*everysingleunofficialrogueplayer*cough*)
I get what you mean, there's SO MANY DAMN PEOPLE who just act the exact same on all their characters...Yea it's pretty annoying, but I'd like to think of it this way: they are still learning how to RP, even though for some - no names will be mentioned, it seems to take over 4 years...
