Role-ing Solo @ WarCry

Over at WarCry they have a piece called Rolecraft: Role-ing Solo on the potential of single-player games as roleplaying vehicles and other related stuff. It's written from a MMORPGers perspective and here's a snip:

I was telling my RP friend Wendy a couple days ago about The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, and how I easily roleplay my characters therein. Oblivion is the best and most current game I can use as an example, even though the game was released in 2006. Oblivion is a huge game, with an incredibly large and open world, and is a great game for RP. Simply remove the massively-multiplayer and online aspects from an MMORPG, and you could have Oblivion. The game, that is. Aside from speech, if you ever want to give yourself a test to find out how much of a roleplayer you (think) you are, make Oblivion your testing ground. I think you'll be surprised at what you find out about yourself and your RP style.

"…most current game I can use as an example, even though the game was released in 2006."

Yes, because games released 1.5 years ago are like so ancient the moss growing on them has died. Sheesh.

Well, I think that using Oblivion is perfect - because based on coming from the other side it feels like a single player MMO …

When i first played everquest…I said to my friends..this is like Multi-player Daggerfall!!

Rp that stick to you and influence? The Witcher. I can't get the phrase: fuck co-op existince out of my head anymore. You just have to love the dwarves.
Gothic: All will be alright/well
Or the voice of Geralt or Kain and raziel are some voices I use a lot in my fantasy with games
