How RPGs influence people. Options

[Eldar]

Last night i was a bit drunk i got all philosophic about games, specially how rpgs affect us, i mean are we like other people ? we always have a dragon, an elf, swords and magic in our mind, others dont.

Do you people think rpgs make us more creative ? more violent ? less social ?..... you get the idea.

Peronally i think they make us much more creative than the average folk.

I think RPGs like Morrowind that involve alot of reading can positively effect young minds with reading and creativity I don't really think it influences adult minds much but that's just my opinion. It's just harder to get the younger audience to like a game that doesn't have constant action and fighting.

I think rpg's influnce people to be more creative and do stuff like join rp's and stuff.
if you go to a madden website your not going to see a "roleplaying" forum. just a bunch of guys calling eachother retards. people who play rpg's seem to be more sensible and open minded.

and stuff and stuff.
