RE: Stance/View on Lore: Factions of the RP Community - OttoVann - 12-03-2014
Ive had my balls firmly busted more than once about being Syndicate affiliated. I've since moved on from that portion of Otto almost entirely and wont bring it up ever.
My RP is definitely free spirit and I offer no apologies for it. However some things would bother me I guess. Miqo dragoons would be something that is flagrantly....'wat'. Outside of stuff that is just not possible lore wise, I dont care what happens.

That is a bunch of BS IMO. Sorry to hear that, Otto.

I like to follow the lore as much as I can, but I also wont just take anything in. I do not like to involve game mechanics in my RP, and some pieces of lore that /clearly/ just exist to reason for a game mechanic (I'm talking the levels of lore-wise explaining the dutyfinder. Some games do that a lot. That kinda stuff) is stuff that I really just don't take in to effect. Some things needs more than just a flavor text in order for me to feel like I can properly take it into RP.
I also do not follow the main storyline - Ie, my character isn't a hero of light and I do not believe that there's more than one person who goes through the job storylines, in line with what the lore-dev said during the panel. I refrain from involving big lore characters in my RP, and generally when it comes to quests and that I try my best to go "So what would this mean for a normal eorzean" instead of automatically assuming that everyone can do what people do in some quests. I think the latter also increasingly comes from the fact that I play very down-to-earth characters with no special powers as per se. Pretty much commoner-esque characters, my main is only just now learning how to fight with pointy things in a proper way (Being "pretty good in a bar brawl" doesn't cut it when someone wants to kill you specificly..)
On top of that I like to keep my FC on the same page, so some of the controversial things I see in a certain way because my FC has been talking about how to see it and we've come to a general conclusion.
