It's like being an adventuer and every game is a new world. Admitedly it requires a bit of self awareness and flexibility but it's fun for me. All choices and actions I take are extensions of my will. It's part of how I live and games are no exception. The catch is that I have to be catious of games with premade protagonists that commit actions I don't like. I have more fun with certain games at the cost of avoiding others. I tend to do a lot of research so it's almost never a problem. I am probably more strong willed than most I guess haha. I recommend trying it if your curious. You may end up having more fun than you thought possible.
How do you deal with the magic aspect? I tried to do this before in fantasy games but that part is immersion breaking. Had better luck with the Fallout series but usually at the point I want to knock some heads together is the point I stop playing like myself. There are always some limits and railroading that frustrate the crap out of me because none of that would be what I would do. I do play some survival games as myself, but also other characters as well since I am not a sniper in rl.
