I can't even relate to people who play games like Skyrim or Read Dead Redemption without making their own head cannon. It adds so much fun. Which I know will piss off people here who need hard coded classes for everything, but we're all different.

If you don't, you're not role-playing.

I go into the first playthrough blind, make the decisions I would have made IRL. I also make the character resemble me as much as possible

Are you good at swordfighting, or casting spells?

It applies to modern and scifi settings since I have decent marksmanship and also kickboxing experience

Only when I'm given too much freedom and want to play like a specific archetype of character.

No, but according to my dreams I'm good at stealth and have spells that aid a rogue/ninja/spy archetype.

Most games give you bad endings, fewer quests/interactions, and have you miss strong loot for picking evil options. I still remember seeing kotor discussions online and thinking "???" because I killed fallen apprentice on Dantooine and went straight to murdering the sand people (so skipped the translator droid), meaning I completely missed both Juhani and HK

depends on the RPG but if its "open-world" i try to disable fasttravel via console or get a mod that does that.
Makes every open-world RPG like 50% better instantly

Open world is shit because it makes you waste your time walking between the interesting parts instead of just having a game that's only those. That's why you have to mod the game to force yourself not to use fast travel.
