I'm an explorer, because I just play the game because the world is so huge, and it's fun discovering a new area, a new Shrine, a new spell, that kind of thing. |

| | | Personally, I can't say that I only belong to one and only one of the types. It totally depends on what mood I am in at that moment.
I admire the game's beauty which was one of the reasons why I bought it.
I seek to make my character as strong as possible...
But at the same time I try to do what would be most appropriate for my class and race.
The world hungers for explorers, and in me it will find one.
Where the game itself offers no solution I seek the counsel of the Mighty Console.
The only two types that I can't say reflect my gaming is the Indifferent and Escapist. If I "just want to play" something I start some FPS and clean the floor with some blood. And no matter how great and addicting a game can be it will never rise above real life. Games are what I use to relax and take a break with, nothing more.

| | I'm a bit of a Poet/Explorer/Indifferent/Escapist. Like Rane said, it all depends on my mood. I'm always a Poet/Explorer, that's just how my nature in real life is. But when I'm Indifferent with the game, it's usually because I'm tired or don't really have anything else to do, so I play Morrowind, but don't really want to. When I'm an Escapist, I'm usually extremely happy and in a good mood. Haha, I know, I sound dumb.
EDIT: I picked Explorer, but I guess I should have picked "A little of some of the above", eh? It's kind of hard for me to be a role-player seeing as I always play a Dark Elf. They can do all things well, so I have a good balance of magic/combat/stealth.

Anyway, just to clarify how you vote: you vote for the option which most appeals to you. So say you are really into role-playing, but also like exploring, watching the scenery, escaping from real life...you'd choose the role-playing bit because it is what enraptures you more.
'A little of some of the above' is when not a single one of the options strikes you as more interesting than the others, but has to do with you anyway. |

| | What kind of player? Good question, I would say all of them.  Letting all the aggressions on the game... Psycho therapy... |

| | | I voted explorer, but I think Obsessive Collector would be more appropriate. I want to see everything, yes, but I really want to own everything as well.

| | | I'm a roleplayer. I tend to model the personality of my characters on close friends, so if I have a friend who is quite obnoxious, but very intelligent, then I'll play a High Elf with excellent magical abilities, if I'm roleplaying my brother, I'm an inarticulate moron who waves his sword around the whole time.

| | | I picked rolepalyer that doesnt mean im dumb i just like to get things done quickly, i belive magic takes to long to cast, so i come up against a hoard of enemys and take out my weapon and beat their head in, not like taking my hands from my pockets so i can cast a spell in 2 seconds then fail the spell and get beaten up.

| | | Role-Player
Role-Player all the way. Anyone can max out every skill, use some codes, use the Levitate spell and boots of Blinding Speed to fly across the "world", or any other number of similar things. That's no challenge. Confine yourself to an honest persona, a realistic one - it's loads more fun in the end.
