Why do you play enforced role playing games like Illarion?
A. To pretend someone else/Being myself in a different world
B. To meet new interesting people who can roleplay, ocassionally using mechanics
C. To get stats, skills, items or such to make a shape for my char (This don't offer in such power table-rpgs, nor chat rpgs, nor forum rpgs)
D. To take part in conflicts, fights, conspiracy or such based on roleplay using surrounding or mechanics
E. To discover new locations, that creates interesting roleplay
F. I want to roleplay but I don't have any time or possibility to play tables rpgs (or such)
G. I want to roleplay, but not most of the time when I play game, this excludes me from playing table-rpgs (or such), sometimes I just want to relax
H. To roleplay smalltalk of non existance topics in the real world, using somehow surrounding or mechanics
I. I like player-events in the game
J. Game based on constant mechanics and rules doesn't create nonsense wars between players like this happens in table rpgs (or such) often.
K. I don't like other games what force me to play someone I don't like to play, I don't like to being forced to perform anything in the way game forces me (In the examples: player must solve quests to make progress in game, player must act or behaviour in specific, particular way to make progress in game)
L. I want to have impact to the world by my character's behaviour
M. Because of good mechanics (In other games I can't roleplay like I want even if those are enforced rpgs in opinion of their authors; in the example: those don't contain crafting); No or just a little numbers of irritating mechanics
N. Game needs to have graphics, I can't play those without graphics
O. I hate playing superhero, I want to play simple person (Other games don't offer this option)
P. Because of system that forces characters to relax (Mindcap), that prevents powergaming and encourages roleplay; I hate skills-stats race (grind) that is common and only goal in other games
Q. Because of behaviour of other players (In the examples: High level of roleplay, No Kill on Sight; No PK without reason; No cheaters; No players who are rude, mean because of OOCly reasons; etc.)
R. Interesting official plots
S. Once got stats (attributes) or skills I will never lose without my will
T. Interesting Lore of the game
U. I have influence (impact?) to the changes (I can propose something, rate proposal, become dev, etc.)
V. I like current game's policy (In the example: Division to three towns)
W. Good game rules that encourage roleplay
X. Because of habit, custom. I don't want to start any new game of this genre because I should create a new character just from scratch and learn how works mechanics, get levels, build reputation, get to know other characters/players and what can be expected from them, or such
Y. This is only game of this genre I play or I don't know any other games of this genre or I played before other game of this genre but it is shuted down
Z. Other games of this genre don't launch on my computer or I don't know how to launch them, because explanation is too complicated for me
