Anyone else getting interested at the roleplaying aspect of this game?

[Lethn]

I don't know about you but one thing I notice about Darkfall is that because there won't be anything like levels or experience in Darkfall or even classes for that matter, the roleplaying aspect seems to be far more within reach than it usually is in the static worlds of most MMORPGs. For instance being at the head of a powerful clan/guild that roleplays, as currency is the main thing that will likely revolve around the game you can actually organized quests yourself.

So instead of it being the NPCs doing the job, clan leaders or high ranked officers can give out orders or offer up tasks for the people in the lower ranks or even outsiders depending the situation, so if I had a thieves guild set up, I could say "Go and steal x type of item from x city" or for instance the beggars guild that's been set up already "Beg x amount of gold and I'll let you in our guild" or it could be even more elaborote than that because of situations that might crop up with pkers or it might turned out that the person your trying to steal from is a really experienced soldier.

It could be even more the case if someone sets up an assassins guild or a guard outfit, real players put bounty on people and the guards have to make sure that nothing happens in the city where this person is being targeted otherwise less and less people would be willing to take a trip there.

And the great thing I think about this is? If you have a problem with the way any clan or player roleplays for instance god modeing or acting like an elitist ***, you can just kill them or walk across to another part of the world! No need for pestering GM's and no need for silly rules you either take care of each other and come together as a community or you won't do well as roleplayers at all, I admit I've been hesitant about roleplaying clans lately but with the way Darkfall is set up I'm thinking of either creating or joining one as it seems more and more likely that roleplaying might be an exciting or viable idea in this game because the world isn't static and everyone can die.

Oh most assuredly! I've already started writing some stories, and am currently in talks with the 'leader' of our little, ad hoc gaming guild House Barbarossa (it's been many things, it changes its in game name, from game to game, but we tend to refer to it as that between ourselves) about the angle we'll take in this game.

Rather fortuitously, a couple of us who've been finding it increasingly difficult to fit MMOs into our lives are now more able to do so. Good timing:)

[Kirill]

I agree, seems like the role playing aspect, as you've mentioned in the above is comming off more and more desirable. Only problem i foresee with such a thing is having enough people to get intrested in that aspect, (however appealing to some people) and that could make the guild / clan unviable asfar as making assasinations and other guild quest type things possible because of lack of people.

Though to me the benefits of being involved in an rp clan, wether leader or member or anywhere inbetween could be pricess if things like formations and trained groups of people are worth a damn, as attracting RP style players would give you a more focused group to instruct.

Also. <3 samdog

[Rhynn]

Absolutely. Should be fun times.... ;)

[Shadun]

So instead of it being the NPCs doing the job, clan leaders or high ranked officers can give out orders or offer up tasks for the people in the lower ranks or even outsiders depending the situation, so if I had a thieves guild set up, I could say "Go and steal x type of item from x city" or for instance the beggars guild that's been set up already "Beg x amount of gold and I'll let you in our guild" or it could be even more elaborote than that because of situations that might crop up with pkers or it might turned out that the person your trying to steal from is a really experienced soldier.There will be assassin guilds, which will involve "tasks" from the leader. Because of roleplay? No, because clan warring is fun, and people will probably post rewards for hits on the boards. There will also be an actual beggars guild; the make up of which is every carebear crying noob. You better believe I'm going to tell them someone to pickpocket who is actually "a really experienced soldier." Then I can laugh at their failure. :D

answering the OP: from day 1 I got to know this game

[tim120191]

i definitely think that role playing will be amazing in this game, think about all the small groups of people that will start crafting havens and such on the islands, this game has endless opportunities!!

[Soulcullers]

I'm definitely up for roleplay! It's one of the reasons I'm here. Right now I'm in what I guess you'd call a light roleplay clan. As I progress if the roleplay isn't what I'm looking for I'll be searching out some more hardcore wannabie dwarves. Taverns are not the same without drunken shorties beating up the locals!

[Ragnar Dragonfyre]

We're way ahead of you Lethn.

If my guild can manage to take ahold of a city and maintain control, we've got some groundbreaking ideas to promote roleplaying. We're gearing our RP more towards outcasts, criminals, murderers and shady types though. Positive aligned players are allowed, our services are suitable for all, but they may not find the company very inviting.

I really don't want to reveal anything here as we've spent quite a bit of time planning it all out. We don't want our ideas stolen.

While we aren't the types to avoid a conflict, we somewhat hope that we can become a neutral city/town that is generally left alone because of the unique entertainment, bounties and quests we plan on providing.

[Ferox]

It is only in free games like Darkfall.. that you can truly RP...

[kingpin]

i don't rp, though i would try it if there was a good server, with serious diplomacy etc.

darkfall has more potential in this area than all other games imo

[Ragnar Dragonfyre]

It is only in free games like Darkfall.. that you can truly RP...

I haven't played an MMORPG since UO that has had consistent, well planned, well executed, believeable RP. This is honestly because we simply have not had the tools needed to manipulate the world to our own ends.

As long as the city building allows for some "creative construction", then we truly will have all the tools we need to promote roleplaying.

[Shaehl]

I'm going to roleplay as Jasper the friendly Alfar. He will be a ranger type character, who prefers dual-wielding scimitars. As a twist, he will be a goodhearted guy who is always discriminated against due to the nefarious nature of his kin.

[ABeard]

i'll roleplay a jerk who kills you and takes your stuff.

Then when your RP pals come to get me, ill still be roleplaying that. :D

[Grognak]

Since UO this is the first game that actually has potential for roleplay. RP doesn't work in games with levels.

[Aristos]

I think it'd be pretty sweet to reenact a battle from Lord of the Rings or something. Possibly the one from The Two Towers, and have a huge army of orks attack a city propped up against the side of a mountain.

[OvanOf Twilight]

The RP potential for this game is pretty damn good because you don't necessarily need to level up to have epic fights. ALso because of the massive world, variety of terrain, multiple races, large fan base, et cetera.

No you dont. It may be a roleplaying game but we dont roleplay. Its Player Freedom you noob.

[Chubbyjesus]

Dont worry it will happen.

UO had heavy roleplayers and mostly they took over corners of the world, defending their playstyle with tooth and claw.

It will happen in DF, although its best to adapt to the masses though, when mingling with them. Saying things like "This one speaks strange of a miss Jessica Alba and her bountiful bosom." only fuels angst for RPers.

I dont do it, but I enjoy the company of RPers and usually 'go along with it' to some degree. Usually RPers are into the social aspect of MMOs, over the 'Please hate me cause im lonely.' aspect.

Id do some searching, im sure plenty of RP guilds will hit DF.

I always do RPing as an event in my guild, with some sort of games and prizes lined up.

Other then that its RPwning for my people.

[Signus]

I've read through a lot of this guys stuff here.

http://www.aschulze.net/ultima/stories1.htm

He takes a few screenshots from in game and tells short stories from the point of view of his character. He roleplays quite a few and this really made me miss UO and get so excited for Darkfall. The game itself in UO was wonderful, but having the freedom to do all the stuff this guy does is just wonderful. My favorite is probably his pirate guild, they stay in their pub and drink all day until landlubbers wander by. Then they demand payment or kill them for being on their land. They were always drunk, and always piratey :P His other character was a pacifist that traveled from Shrine to Shrine piecing storyline clues together and trying to make sense of the world of Britannia.

This game will be wonderful for roleplayers. We don't need a separate server for other people, others just add flavor to things.

[Realbigdeal22]

It could be even more the case if someone sets up an assassins guild or a guard outfit, real players put bounty on people and the guards have to make sure that nothing happens in the city where this person is being targeted otherwise less and less people would be willing to take a trip there.

And the great thing I think about this is? If you have a problem with the way any clan or player roleplays for instance god modeing or acting like an elitist ***, you can just kill them or walk across to another part of the world!

Player freedom would also include the freedom to roleplay if one so chooses. So yes, he wins. Good try, though. Sadly, you only win the booby prize...and I'm not talking about breasts so keep your hormones in check.

Anyway, yes I am looking forward to the roleplay aspect. Given this community, I am definitely hoping to find people who enjoy RP of substance instead of the idiots I've run across in the last few years who think RP=Cybering.

[QUOTE=BroBro;1659106]i wanna punch you nubs in the face... Just because I don't type with proper grammar all the time doesn't mean i'm retarded or illiterate.
Actually, it does.
There is no correlation between being a creative, imaginative roleplayer and a poor pvper. They have nothing to do with each other. On the other hand, they kinda do as tactics and strategy are inherently creative enterprises. And since this game is built around epic battles (thats more than your 3v3 WoW team BroBro) that will require tactics and strategy and hence creativity.

[ForzikTheFeared]

Yeah I am, but I'm not sure if rpers are really going to get all that much in this game the way it is now. Granted there are a few things like houses and other things that immerse one in the game. As is doesn't seem like too many rp elements at this point, I'm sure it will change.

It isn't the lack of grammar that makes you stupid, it is the ideas and concepts you are expressing which do that.

Lots of people don't fit into your handy little nest of boxes. Gamers aren't split, tidily down the middle with RPers on one side and PvPers on the other. There are PvPers who RP, there are PvPers who don't. There are PKers who RP and there are RPers who PK.

An MMO is a game comprising many elements and possibilities. Some of us do not choose to limit our experience of such games to one single element.

You are gonna need a Warhulk too to replace the car he has modded out. And a chainsaw arm.

[Chubbyjesus]

Ok uhh, whoever said something about Darkfall being free, you're wrong. It's going to be pay to play like any other big mmo.


And.... Whoever said something about having some guild that's going to take over some town or something then start rp'ing.. That's not going to happen.
I'll solo the town that you fail to take, cause you rp, and like i said before rp = no skill.


lol.... nubs talkin about takin towns. GL gg no re

Told you there will be Role Playing in Darkfall, just shamefully most people will be RPing morons.

God I truely hope guys like BrahBrah are Roleplaying and not real.

My impression of roleplaying in computer games is always related to "making up" what is missing, like character background. Cool thing is, in some aspects in this game you won't need to roleplay, it's already there. Like, if you start trading a lot, then you are a trader and you will begin acting like it naturally. Same as a mercenary, you will be always looking for a battle for money, for example.
Of course we don't expect ppl to act like an evil Alfar or else.

I think your conception is a bit off. Roleplaying is more about taking into account what your character is, noting his background that you've written and that the devs have written, and making decisions accordingly. You end up filling in some things yourself, sure, and that's what makes individual RPers unique, but that's not at the heart of it all. At least not IMO. I'm not much of an RPer myself (I've never found an MMO in which I felt like I could really RP, and so all my experience is in open forum RPs, and not even much of that really).

[Mystic_Fuzz]

RPing is one of the things I'm really looking forward to in DF. I spent a long time doing it on UO and had a blast with a lot of the people I played with there. I really enjoy having substence and depth to my character that I create and playing it out.

[BroBro]

RP is fun, but the best kind involves a proper stabbing instead of a wall of emotes and mindless dialogue.

Getting? It's why I play MMOs in general. Glad to see you joining the fray, Lethn.

[FinneusMaul]

I'd actually pull all-nighters in *ducks head* AoC if the RP was good. Heck, many a time it was more fun than more grinding. Than again, most things are.

[Bronn]

Unlike your rant on my poll Leth :p

I will agree with you and say, good post.

[GundamAce]

It seems to me that the game is going to have an economy driven on limited resources and supply/demand, as well as a political structure built by players for the purpose of mutual protection and resource gathering. Since these elements aren't being artificially controlled or manipulated by some sort of quest/level system, players will have to pay a lot more attention to what's going on in the game world around them in order to be successful in this game.

I've always considered RP as an awareness of the game world over the game mechanics. In most games there's a clear cut line between the two, but in Darkfall, the mechanics and the game world are intertwined. In order to get ahead, successful PvP players and non-RP players will need to know whose territory their in, what the ruling guild of the area is spending their time and resources on, and how said guild reacts to various types of players.

In the past, asking questions like "Who rules here?", "What's the news on the current war?", and "How are dwarves treated in this city?" were all strictly RP questions because the answers to said questions were largely un-important and didn't effect play at all. In a dynamic world like Darkfall though, the answers to such questions can change in the course of a day and might mean the difference between life and death.

In short, because of the nature of the game, some amount of roleplay will be necessary for everyone because ignoring the actions of the players around you and their impact on the game world could spell disaster.

Nah. RP is for people who's lives suck so much they need to find a completely alternative world.

If you are a roleplayer and disagree with this statement, go fuck a cactus.

Nah roleplay is just for people who have higher intelligence and better writing skills than you.

If your an idiot and disagree with this statement go and impale yourself on a city building somewhere as a warning to others.

Nah Roleplay is for who cares? If you wanna roleplay like some weirdo, that's fine. If you don't want to roleplay because you think that your language of "LOLZ ROFLCOPTER CHUCK NORRIS RICK ROLL" is better, go right ahead. I don't care.

[DaveDFF]

Okay so this is a Sandbox, gives people the opportunity to play the game how they see fit...... And here they come the Moronic crew who will try to lay rules down and be all righteous yes you have got it the Role Players have arrived in town.

Please give me a break I am going to play this game as I see fit, the game will be conducive to community building and Role Playing.

Lets see how the game develops, I am a damn good role player. But sadly I do not need a title against the server to develop imersion and love for a world I wan't to play in.

Roleplaying as in not spamming your guild chat about a new movie that just came out. Saying "Excuse me" instead of "hEYo!I!". It does not mean that you must begin every greeting with "Hail!", or add an "e" on the end of every word. Being polite, pleasant and respectful of the rules of the game is basically Roleplaying. Without knowing it, you'll probably Roleplay in Darkfall. I presume you're talking about those who end every word with "e" and begin every greeting with "hail!".

[Largion]

I know that was cheap but it was just too easy :p

Was alittle kindergarten from both of you. ;)

Not like my complex posts. :rolleyes:

[Darksheitan]

PvP ftw.

[Tyriak]

I suppose it's really a roleplaying game, because of the freedom that is granted.
Your in a world free to do what you want but get punished or rewarded for it, so you're free to play whatever roll you want to play.

[Xtra-Medium]

i have become more interested in roleplaying, i think i might try to join an rp guild

[Laedos]

I don't know about you but one thing I notice about Darkfall is that because there won't be anything like levels or experience in Darkfall or even classes for that matter, the roleplaying aspect seems to be far more within reach than it usually is in the static worlds of most MMORPGs. For instance being at the head of a powerful clan/guild that roleplays, as currency is the main thing that will likely revolve around the game you can actually organized quests yourself.

So instead of it being the NPCs doing the job, clan leaders or high ranked officers can give out orders or offer up tasks for the people in the lower ranks or even outsiders depending the situation, so if I had a thieves guild set up, I could say "Go and steal x type of item from x city" or for instance the beggars guild that's been set up already "Beg x amount of gold and I'll let you in our guild" or it could be even more elaborote than that because of situations that might crop up with pkers or it might turned out that the person your trying to steal from is a really experienced soldier.

It could be even more the case if someone sets up an assassins guild or a guard outfit, real players put bounty on people and the guards have to make sure that nothing happens in the city where this person is being targeted otherwise less and less people would be willing to take a trip there.

And the great thing I think about this is? If you have a problem with the way any clan or player roleplays for instance god modeing or acting like an elitist ***, you can just kill them or walk across to another part of the world! No need for pestering GM's and no need for silly rules you either take care of each other and come together as a community or you won't do well as roleplayers at all, I admit I've been hesitant about roleplaying clans lately but with the way Darkfall is set up I'm thinking of either creating or joining one as it seems more and more likely that roleplaying might be an exciting or viable idea in this game because the world isn't static and everyone can die.

first of all, we must quit the way of thinking "traditional role play".
If you have ever played games like D&D or Newerwinter you know what i'm talking about.

Traditional role play has hard rules, inable to express the complexity of an human behaviour. We have to clean up our mind, to seek for a new roleplay style.

For example "alignment". In real life first you take a decision and then you face the consequences and the moral implications, that's "alignment".
In D&D first you decide to be chaos or order and then you try to follow that path.
If darkfall is freedom, roleplay will be natural even for those who usually skip it. Without lore and background, just play the way you want.

You have cruel intentions? Here you are an assassin, a jerk.
You want to help people? hey paladin take it easy, there is space for you too.

Just stop being a total childish noob who play "to pwn and zerg ppl omg".
Enjoy the game, but play it seriously.

(sorry for grammar.. it is quite late here in italy and i'm drunk xD)

[Taroth]

Only two? I need to get some lessons from Villa.

I still contend that if a clan is vehemently against discussion of anything that isn't according to their "lore" or the game itself; the (consenting) members have an awkwardness or anti-sociality in their personality.

Otherwise there is no justifiable reason to oppress those who just want to talk about normal stuff.

Edit: Just read beorg's post again. I don't think politeness/respect should be categorized as Roleplaying. IRL you can be yourself and be appropriate without "playing the role" of something else.

[JonRD463]

Your an idiot.

Internet flaming is a never ending sea of delicious irony.

[Asbo]

If you call stabbing people in the back roleplaying then Yes, otherwise Noooooooope....!!

[bearju1ce]

To be honest I always enjoy the plot of singleplayer rpg's. When their is no real plot to an mmo things can kind of stagnate. If roleplayer's create alliances and make a lot of things happen inside the game to add more of a story to what is going on, that's cool with me.

I don't really want to rp myself, but I can see how being hated by one guild of rp'ers or being loved by another could add more immersion to the game and make the overall experience better.

In the end, it bothers me more to see kids spamming WoW trade chat with bad jokes and ones and zero's than to see a couple of guys who toss around the word "hail" a bit too much. I just hope that people who hate rp show it through pk's and griefing rather than through flame wars in general chat. Anything to better the overall experience is a plus for me.

[Survivor]

i see wot u mean but i think people r gonna
do this without RPing being a necessity

[Tyriak]

As in kill other races, because it's good for you.

[Luna Rossa]

I am really looking forward to the RP aspect. I think that is what really makes games interesting.:p

Exactly! Role-playing gives a different dimension to the game. UO was great for just such a thing which kept many of us playing it for so long and role-playing every time you logged in. Until EA mucked it up every time they did an "expansion" to improve the game.

Whether you are role-playing a good or evil character, the reason that makes you act the way your character does on a daily basis is what makes your character interesting.

I can hardly wait! I so miss a good role-playing game!
