I'm slightly the opposite in that I've never seen the point of having kids or wives in games or getting jiggy with it. I don't do any of that stuff in real life and I don't in games and I'm not sure why having an avatar have a virtual girlfriend is in any way good.
Even in Fable 2 where friendships are positively encouraged I didn't bother and I even dumped the wife I was forced to marry as part of a quest without doing anything more romantic than farting. I bought the bitch a house and left her to it and I assume she lived happily ever after but as I never spoke to her again I have no idea.

Well when I get really bored of all the features of a game (mostly in open world games like GTA 4 and Just Cause 2) I end up trying to kill myself in the funniest ways. And yes I can say it's funny, because.

This is such a confusing post.

I'm sure he would but he'd be wrong. This was just caused by my crappy typing skills combined with my tendency to not proof read my own posts

Just about every vice under the sun at one time or another I think. Fantasy = no consequences so why not do crazy stuff you'd never really do.

I just remembered I did get told off by a mother in Fable 2 for giving a little girl a massively expensive diamond for no reason. I was bored and had limitless cash and nothing to spend it on so I decided to give it all away but after being accused of being a Peado as soon as I started giving my stuff to random people I didn't bother and gave all my cash to a random beggar who still continued to beg for ages after I'd given him 4 million gold.

I also make small animals fight each other for my amusement.

Off the topic but if I go back to F2 now will I still have been earning cash despite not playing the game in over a year and a half? If so I'll be the richest mo-fo in the universe or something.
On topic I always like to find the fastest cars I can and drive them off the top of stuff. That and getting into a chopper and taking it as high as possible before bailing out and falling for ages...
Oh and I just recreated 9/11 in Just Cause 2 because.... Well, Just cause I guess. lol

It's supposed to be tea-bagging! I thought it looked more lively than just a lonely PG Tips Pyramid bag.

I think this is the crux of the videogame-violence debate (age ratings and all that aside). Games are so obviously fake and actions within them have no consequences, so we do things we'd never do in real life.
