Is really games that different? Is really the identification process stronger in a game than in a book? Not for me.
For me any games, I'm not the main character, I'm not Geralt and I'm not Baldur's Gate hero and I'm not Venetica female hero.
For me, I would say yes, games are a lot different than watching a movie or reading a book.
When I play a game, I imagine the character I'm playing is an extension of myself. I can't do that with books or movies.
