I played a thief in a 2nd edition D&D game for four years. I cared more for that character than I do some people i knoew.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07086634201363999218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18361181.post-11916464089420364512011-07-15T12:37:10.976-05:002011-07-15T12:37:10.976-05:00I've lost a character with a couple years inve...I've lost a character with a couple years invested in him. What bummed me out was the loss of all that story potential ahead of him. When you have that much game-time in a character, synergy between character and game world can kick in to provide a wonderfully rich experience.<br /><br />--JeffAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18361181.post-35329394765432064472011-07-15T10:40:41.088-05:002011-07-15T10:40:41.088-05:00@Ronin78 - I thought that was part of the fun of t...@Ronin78 - I thought that was part of the fun of the game; getting a character to a high level and collection loot and gear. And if said character gets to a high enough level, said character gets to retire and the player starts all over again.aka Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13840169407835436058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18361181.post-58093692284581007602011-07-15T09:29:01.225-05:002011-07-15T09:29:01.225-05:00I'm not sure about emotional investment.

Loosing gear and other items earned.<br /><br />Like playing a computer game with no save points.
