[1.Local]: You had us at "Toolhelm"
|
Reader comments -- ahh, yes, the juicy goodness following a meaty post. [1.Local] ducks past the swinging doors to see what readers have been chatting about in the back room over the past week.
I once wrote an article about total-immersion roleplaying. At the time, I was in a guild that practiced this very strictly, and I was trying to decide if it could work for me or not. I tried to write that article in an unbiased way, suggesting both advantages and disadvantages of total immersion and letting the reader make up his or her own mind.
Would a Maelstrom expansion mean the return of Maiev Shadowsong? At least one WoW.com reader hopes not.
But I have since decided that one way really is much better than the other -- not only is it impossible to totally immerse yourself in any role other than "you," but trying to do so is counterproductive and defeats the whole purpose of roleplaying. We don't roleplay to be other people, we roleplay to become more of who we want to be, and part of that means sharing aspects of your true self with others too.
Kylenne: For the love of everything holy, I hope he's wrong about Maiev. I don't think there's anyone I hate more than her in all of the lore, up to and including the various jerkfaces we've come to know and hate in WoW (including Fandouche Toolhelm). Probably my favorite mission in TFT was killing her over and over to save Illidan from her little red wagon. I'm kind of sad she didn't end up entombed with her girlfriend in Suramar.
