Title: Talking in Character
Post by: Desicardo on February 20, 2006, 03:32:20 PM

I am finding that the more I get into the game, the more I catch myself speaking in character in r/l.  Wouldn't be bad if I was playing a high int character, but I am playing a gnome barbarian.  I am getting funny looks. hmmm me wonders why? be there others doin it to?

Heheh, I talk like Bjorn when I'm managing at work sometimes.  I roar at the employees and scream, "Git ter Work!" when I walk past them and wander off to the backroom/smithy for about 5 minutes for a cigarette/forging.  I've also been known to throw alcoholic beverages at people and scream, "DRINK!" like Farros does in game.  Though technically violent, it usually gains friends to slay giants/resist the government.

Heheh since I started I drink a lot more tea (Celgar is addicted to it like it was his crank or something)... And also with friends I always say lets go on an adventure to some god forsaken place... I am a gothic person...

I do tend to talk like Daren (I was the basis for his speech I guess), I don't say "canna", or "ownsome".  I do say "idear" (The 'r' is very soft) and "dun't", and "ain't", and "meybe" quite often.  And I *have* voiced emotes at work before, usually *sighs*, or *mumbles*.

I'm just fine with Freldo, as a matter of fact, he talks like I do - all the badmouthing and all, even in tells when I'm not in character I end up being in character.

We're different in the sense that I use a lot more "whoa" and "cool" than Freldo does but he uses a lot more "lord, lady, sir" then I do.

Heh, as darkwulf could tell you, I don't really speak as properly (or pretentiously) as Yardislan.  Though I've caught myself slipping into it once or twice.

I noticed today that I walk around things that I could easily step over.  I didn't do that in the past, but having to walk around tree roots in-game has gotten to me, I guess.

Wow. "Aye" has become a part of my daily vernacular...  And I've actually said "Bloody troll's toes" a few times.
