Role playing in the RPG..

Alright, I can't wield healing magic and walk around in full plate and bash wights over the head with a mace in real life. And I don't want to. Not one moment have I ever wished to be a character I've created. I'm not driven by regret, I'm driven by fun. To me, it is no different than if I was writing a story. You're looking how regret can drive someone to escapism and making the conclusion that all escapism is the result of regret, and looking at how role playing can be driven by escapism and making the conclusion that all role playing is driven by escapism. Let me tell you, not everyone who role plays is driven by regret; I'd say most aren't. Of course I regret things, like anyone, but I don't try to run away; and my Dungeons & Dragons characters, or Skyrim characters, or whatever, they have nothing to do with my regrets. They really, really don't.
