Think about it this way; are you an Ark Hunter in real life? Do you go around the SF Bay Area shooting crazy teraformed mutated monsters for shiny alien tech? The events of Defiance are taking place well into the future so it's safe to say the character you play isn't really you. And that's assuming you're playing a human in the first place.Quote:

Also there are no hard rules to roleplaying.
The biggest misconception that people have about it is that you HAVE TO do things a certain way in order to RP properly, and if you don't talk like this and act like that then clearly you're doing it wrong.
Anyone who says that is full of crap. The only thing you're supposed to do is play the character the way you imagine them to be, the only thing you need to do is have fun. So you can play someone who is basically just like you and make constant references to modern culture as much as you want, so long as you do it in character. :)
how do i make references to modern culture but still be in character? i.e if the game takes place in lets say 2099... how does having a conversation about Lady Gaga's newest meat dress today (in the present) fit with my character whos in a time LONG after lady gaga has come and went?Quote:

"You know the meaty exoskeleton of this Hellbug reminds me of this story that my grandfather used to tell about the most famous entertainer of his day. She called herself 'Lady GaGa' and would wear a dress made entirely of raw meat. From the way he described it, man it must have been incredibly ugly. Of course, this was way before the Pale Wars and the resulting roaming mutant wolf packs, so walking around with raw meat hanging off you was a lot safer. Still you gotta wonder about people who would find that attractive, I mean the smell alone..."Quote:

I am a hard core player turned casual due to RL. I have always loved RPrs since my gaming history is firmly rooted in PnP DnD. I am a huge fan of "on the spot" RP and love to randomly throw in comments when running across a public RP group. I have found that my best RP tends to come from unexpected situations.
I tend to focus heavily on Min Maxing however and that takes time away from a more permanent RP group and I tend to lose touch with regular story Arcs that develop. however, in a group that understands my habits i love being the cameo appearance guy who"just gets back from the front lines" after days/weeks/months of in game leveling. I have a tendency to play the rough military guy who is very concerned with the war/conflict/ whatever the in game factions are fighting over. I have a tendency towards tough love but genuine respect towards new recruits and an absolute love for the sarcastic dry humor revolving around the military life style of my characters. so If any groups are welcome to an unscheduled cameo appearance guy with the spirit of justice/and a penchant for dry sarcastic banter and puns oh yes horrible puns sometimes, id be willing to look out for you and see what kind of plot twists i can throw in to y'alls stories.
In the case of Defiance i will be focussing on Uniting the new population of Earth and fighting for Equality and ripping the throat out of any prejudice i see.
let me know if any fledgling groups would be interested in a monkey wrench or 3 and ill make my way to find y'all
I actually never thought about that aspect when I found this game and being a more experienced RPer, I'd love to see where it goes and try it out myself! I hope the devs give us some stuff to play with though, would really suck if they forgot about us when they have so much lore and opportunities!
yeah I like to roleplay sometimes
I asked if there is an RP server a while back but was told there isnt
but still we can make an unofficial RP server or something I hope
We'll congregate...
Somewhere... Who knows where :P
MASSIVE EDIT: I'll just drop this link here, too.
Ex PC MMORPG (GW, MxO, SWG etc...) role player here, had to stick with just the Xbox a few years ago due to RL getting in the way. I have been waiting for a decent console memo to come out for ages, hopefully this is it. Planning to RP with this too.
Is that a clan? and is it based in the UK?Quote:

I myself will be roleplaying that is the basis behind the guild i have created.
I don't mind a good role play now and then. But my guild isn't into it and that's ok with me I like the guys in my guild so it's all good. I did put my character bio in that thread though.
I am a Roleplayer, I cannot wait to roleplay in this game :D
I love to Roleplay. It gives some reason to the things I'm doing and the stuff I'm wearing.
However, is there a 3rd person camera and can we look around our character? That's kind of important to me. Anyone who played the beta know?
It is in all third person, but it's a fixed camera, sadly. I would prefer it more adjustable. However, I too enjoy a good roleplay and cant wait to make my character so I can finalize some of these ideas in my head.
i'll join in a roleplay if asked
i've been told my female voice seriously sounds legit, but i'll only do female voices when i'm the only one home (too shy to do it when family is around lol)
i will take on any role, but i will make it funny every time (or atleast try)
uhh, yeah....definitely won't be doing rps over voice....They don't work quite as well....so I hope there's some modicum of improvement on the chat system over beta.
i also prefer typing, but in Defiance's chat case... i may make an exception. either way, it will be a blast if i can get my roleplay mojo going :DQuote:

I had a great deal more fun on the Discovery mod for Freelancer. More freeform, integrated RP PvP and factional politics. Utterly dedicated to RP, so 95% of the people you came across ingame were RPing and each fit into the game world as a whole. I don't know. I guess I was spoilt.
So I ended up just writing fiction for my character Ensuhkesh instead. People seemed to enjoy reading it, so that was nice.
In short, I think I'll just relax and play the game. Maybe settle into some RP as it goes. And writing fiction? Almost a dead cert.
I'm a big roleplayer in my MMOs. Having played Defiance, though, I'm not sure the game is set up to really support that style. The chat system really needs to be reworked for the PC. It's great for consoles, I guess, but it's an abysmal interface for people used to gaming on a PC.
Cue dramatic death scene! :cool:Quote:

Refer to it in the past tense. For example: "Did you ever see a picture/vid of that horrible dress made of meat? The one that Gaga lady wore?"Quote:

Say... shtako instead? Possibly also haigi?Quote:

That makes us 2 lol :D
Actually, it wasn't a problem with what to say; rather it was the frequency with which I tend to say them. Let's just say that my online gaming is generally not PG-13!:pQuote:

That is a problem for me as well, but the more prominent issue is character actions. You end up narrating it oddly, and it just feels awkward.Quote:
