    Do you imagine that you are your character in games?

    In games that allow you to create your own character such as Skyrim or WoW, do you immerse yourself fully in the game by thinking that you are actually the character you are playing? Of course the question is not limited to only RPG games, it's valid for all kinds of games that make you play with a predefined character.

    Hopefully some people will vote because I'm genuinely interested about it.

    Usually yes, at least in games where you make your character or your character doesn't have much of a personality (WoW, Zelda, etc.) I also used to do some roleplaying in WoW, so sometimes I take it a bit further.

    It's rare, but does happen. In AC I sort of treated my character as my alter ego... never happened in wow however.

    no because in 80% my character are female (at the creationscreen i take what looks best - in most cases this is a female char [not because of Boobies and stuff]) and i enjoy the feeling that i be her voice of reason or imaginary Friend who guids her on her way.

    I also have about 80% female chars! But I think boobies are a factor. xD
