Born On A Certain Day To Uncertain Parents...

Roleplaying perfection.

The freedom of the game was quite addictive, there really were no restrictions, no limitations of what you could do or become, and you could literally set off and explore anywhere, you could set off in any direction of the compass rose, and wander and wander for as long as you pleased. You could loot random caves and become rich, you could join Guilds, play politics and gain status and prestige, and you could even become the Hero to Save The World. But you didn't have to do any of that if you didn't want to--you didn't even have to save the world! You could just put it off, benign neglect, and let it wait, and just talk to people (well, the responses were all text, hahaha), read books, fill in the unexplored bits of your map--for forever upon forever....

My parents, who stopped playing card/board games with me, on a certain day, for uncertain reasons, lol....

"This is Ironman!" ^^

As soon as you go outside, you get attacked by wild birds.

And I used to call this an "RPG", but now I'm going to dispense with the gamer lingo and just call it what it is: it's a fighting game.

"Television games!"
