Originally posted by Sir_Tainly: This is just the "soap opera mentality", whereby the events of a whole families lifetime can be compressed in a few ihr slotsa for TV. I mean to be totally realistic, chances are you are not going to be heroes, just farmers, carpenters etc. If a realm had so many heroes, who would do all the mundane stuff. I used to know a group of PnP guys that used to play as level 0 characters, just ordinary people flung in an adventure they were ill prepared for. Probably more rewarding, but when a goblin assumes godlike status, the whole heroic deed stuff becomes trivialised.

I guess that's the concept behind Ultima Online - you can be totally normal if you want to. More about roleplaying as opposed to beating a game.
