In my description of my influence on my characters in the game, it can come across as sounding like schizophrenia or some other mental health disorders.
If you are experiencing “voices” or a strong drive to do things that are harmful to yourself or others, please seek a mental health professional for evaluation and care.
In real life, this can be extremely serious and dangerous. We don’t have healers that can resurrect people to 100% health in a matter of seconds, or even from death.
It is not the intent of the postings in this blog to make light of these conditions or the risks.
From a game perspective, the perspective of a strong, influential “Presence” can be fun. It explains why I, as the player, don’t have to perform every movement or direct every word the character says. It also allows me to envision the characters having a life for the hours/days I’m not there.
Please be safe, have fun, and, most importantly…
… take care of yourself.
– Ben (a.k.a Gar’s “The Presence”)
