Any roleplayers?

I am a Roleplayer, I cannot wait to roleplay in this game

[Dreamblade]

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

If you're sitting on a quad you can turn the camera around the character. It's a smart camera though, so it tries to hide behind you again if you leave it still for too long. That was how it worked in beta, at least.

As for me, I've been an RPer for a long time. I'm not sure if I'll try in Defiance. I had a pretty bad experience of RP in GW2. The only natural sessions I managed to find and enjoy could be counted on two fingers. The rest of the time it just felt so stilted. Perhaps it was in part the setting. 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.

This is very true !

Cue dramatic death scene!
