Didn't the first U7 have a male gay option at a brothel?

I think you use an ultra simplistic idea of roleplaying (good vs evil, stealth vs combat vs dialogs).
Likewise. Once I've played through a game like Jak and Daxter for example, I create little narratives/interactions and whatnot, playing them out in my head.I larp even in race, plataformer and soccer games.

Of course, I no longer do this as often as I did when I was younger, but it's still fun to do so. I spent 30 hours or so in New Vegas just playing pretend with one short-story.
Are you sure you're on the right forum, Neogaf is just one click away
I don't see shouting invectives as larping. Otherwise everyone watching sports would be larping. That's just being enthousiastic / cheering for the team.Look, you can call me a retarded, but I LARP the hell of every game I touch. I throw a fireball and shot “Die, your filth scum!!”. I larp even in race, plataformer and soccer games. Of course, I barely play these games anymore, but I know that I would larp them if I played them. I can’t help myself. I also imagine a lot of additional stuff that my character has in the game world, in every game. I just can’t help myself.
I cannot, for the life of me, comprehend as to why anyone would want to min-max or "get the best loot" while disregarding in-character choice or roleplaying. It basically detracts the point of playing a role-playing game in the first place. It's fundamentally robotic and mathematical, instead of imaginative. Just play a rougelike or something.

LARPing in cPRGs is when you make choices that aren't supported by the game. Like pretending you have a relationship with a certain character, and doing things like bringing them presents of whatever dumb shit people do, while there's no indication of it in the game (not saying that kind of shit is cool if supported in game, Dragon Age Origins did all that and was fucking retarded).
You could have gay (bro-on-bro) sex in Ultima VI. That you didn't know that is a shocking revelation of your lack of incline knowledge!I always had this funny thought where you tell the newfags that the Ultima games already catered to gays since at least U7.
Ultima VII: The Serpent Isle is the only Ultima game where you could engage in a lesbian sex scene. I'm not a Lesbian.

In a PnP the most fun part of roleplay is more about phobias (no, my Ice Elve won't go to a volcano), Tolkien-like racism (he's an elf, I don't give a shit about what he has to say), etc...and reactivity of the GM and the teammates.
In a cRPG I don't mind speaking to an elf if a dwarf is in my party, or I don't mind go for the very-well designed stealth road for a certain quest even if my character is more of a diplomat. I really think that wondering what would I do or what would my character would do is terribly not fun, there. On the contrary choosing an appopriate/weird/funny choice and testing the game's reactivity is more fun.
For example, I like choosing the good way and solving many problems by dialogs, killing the worst guys, etc...It's nothing related what would I do or what would my character do, unless you think that the multi-classed diplomat/anarchist(boss killer)/paladin is an archetype.

Really? Ok, then, so I don’t larp.
