lol. im more just being silly about this. maybe I lack the imagination but enshrouded lacks almost any level of adult content reference save for walking around without armor covered by cloth mesh underwear. though I would be much more receptive to adventure games that employ more of the missing components of the human physical/psychological needs hierarchy pyramid. touching on safety and security as well as love and belonging is where the more fruitful dramas stem from in story telling.

True do you like to roleplay?

in truth I've never roll played outside of dnd amongst a group of players where one continually instigates arguments that would result in 3 minutes rifling through a rule book followed by 35 minutes of arguing rather than simply working towards the objective with an emphasis on "lets make it fun." as opposed evidently the highest priority which was and still is, "who's the most factually correct because me-make-bestest-meta-build-there-is-that-me-compared-in-every-youtube-video-and-online-forum-chatrooms." to which just thinking about it gives me the icky feeling and I know I shouldn't associate that with every roll play game but having that in the back of my mind doesn't exactly gravitate me to such experiences.

having visited conan exiles roll play servers in the past, I've deduced that the majority are TG which isn't an issue unless you try respectfully pointing out that none of the hetero guys and girls aren't posting lewd pics of themselves for all the group to bare witness. consequently one can and does become a social pariah when asking for a separate channel as opposed to general chat where others could post share and see a concentrated focus of TG content if the individual was so inclined while others could scroll down in general without feeling like merely scrolling down is like rolling the dice knowing that your eventually going to scroll down to see an awkward picture of someone in far too tight material if any material at all to leave any shred of a doubt at what your looking at. which hurray if thats what floats your boat. but its just unappealing to others that many fear speaking against the oversharing this age old but relatively speaking recently acknowledged and outwardly spoken phenomenon is. the concern being that where acceptance was once a beautiful thing but now has divulged into a pre-loaded weapon ready to crush those that simply want to play a game with people without worrying about offending others while having their personal boundaries not stepped on so long as they are reasonably communicated and generally reasonable.

what are you looking for?

mostly some place to join a server of 4 -6 players amongst a non exclusive group of 15 players that join that server with an indifferent early bird log in prioritization. something casual where there is no scheduled obligation to play with a group of players that are familiar with each other whom enjoy challenging the game's various dungeons and locations in search of treasures that can be brought back to a community base without the worry that someone will find it funny to encase every cubic inch of the total base volume in multitudes of 8x8x4 blocks of building materials.
I enjoy stocking building materials more than building as I'm less a construction designer and more a person that appreciates helping others fulfill their creativity. but if there could be some back end story that could be derived from such a community through roleplay that isn't restricted to some more mature language would offer more flexibility in what happens on a free form style narrative construct. I would find that very appealing.

that or if each base was individually allocated to each person as a lord or matron of each hold this could facilitate a line of dialogue that encourages, calling on others to assist with dispatching common threats near by each base to full fill some sense of a common foe that can potentially threaten both holds. it can also encourage fair trade and having the enemy damage output increased would ensure that cooperative play was a necessity to accommodate a such an unlikely fellowship against a dangerous game antagonist.
this could be made more interesting if there is a coveted Item that everyone regards as a symbol of power and authority that people hide somewhere in their base that players compete to hold at their base which would create some social deduction and encourage clever base design to hide said object such as a glowing sword on a display board that has to be mounted somewhere on a wall in the base. whether that location is hidden behind a secret door to a secret room is up to the designer.

well RP itself can be fun and therapeutic... if you engage your inner make belief character. I may have personified the difficulties of trying to find the correct group of players like a right donkey. but make no mistake, if you find the right group of people that hold the same level of interest in building the world you all seek to build, it can be a brilliant thing that seems to write itself. you can embody the motivations that hold your character steadfast in what their desires are and how you want that character to react to what practical changes happen to them as it happens in real time. if you ever put yourself in the captains chair of captain nemo while reading 20000 leagues under the sea and thought, "thats not how I figured Captain nemo would react," or, "if someone gave me that direct order, I would punch that person in the face and force a mutiny;" roll play may be for you, if you watched a movie and put yourself in the actors shoes to better experience what your watching or to see through the eyes of the character, thats the draw of the role play gamer. it lets you experience things, deal with things that you would do in a semi disconnected environment and helps you develop your ability to confront other real world situations that you might otherwise encounter in similar ways. its actually quite beneficial if used in a very healthy practical way and can be fun. in some ways its a pre test before you plan on bartering for that car you want. asking out that dane or damsel that caught your eye (or anywhere in between if we are to be all inclusive). requesting that promotion you feel you deserve or helping you process companionship or even rejection in the real world if you want to match parallels. be the tough guy, realize your perception of being the tough guy is someone you dont like or do like, make mistakes, find yourself. thats the heart of roleplay.

I appreciate the crash course, but im 43 and ive been RPing in DnD, LARPs, and video games since I was 17. im very familiar with RP but I said I personally wouldnt do it in a game where I have to leave the game to RP. I know a lot of RP happens on discord and other avenues but I like to be inside the game and seeing the scenery and the people im talking to when im doing the RP.
