Hi, I’m Emeralda and I’m a newbie. Please feel free to bash me, as is the tradition for newbies. Anyway I just thought I’d introduce myself, and to make sure that my introduction doesn’t get classed as SPAM I’ll ask you all a question.
You see when ever things go wrong for me I’m always being told that “life’s a game” and sometimes you “have to take chances”. So my question is, if life is a game what are some of the elements from video games that you wish you could have in your life?
To get you started here are some of mine:
Being able to walk around with assorted weaponry without anybody batting an eyelid at you. I don’t want to use the weapons on any one; they just look so cool. Plus who is going to mess with you when you’re armed to the teeth.
When your bored and don’t have anything to do, being able to walk into a stranger’s house and start questioning them for clues as to what you should do next, without them getting all upset and calling the police.
Being able to wear bazaar skimpy clothing that shows off way too much flesh, with out people thinking that you are weird and ogling too much (some ogling is okay).
Also when buying clothes you don’t worry if your bum looks big in it, you worry what effects it will have on you stats. Excuse me Miss Shop Assistant did you say that this blouse would add 5 points to my defence?
Being able to carry hundreds of items around with you with out breaking you back or even showing any unsightly bulges.
Having certain areas filled with monsters where you can go and fight them for the experience and the money. It would certainly beat the 9 to 5 job I have now!
Every one having there own personal theme tune that plays when you meet someone new. Then you could judge their character by their music. I don’t like the sound of him did you hear those crashing cymbals?
And of course I’d love to be able to save and go back if I’ve made mistakes. Imagine the fun you could have as well. If your having a bad day at work or school and the boss/teacher is getting on your nerves, you could save, tell them exactly what you think of them, perhaps even give them a good beating and then you could go back to your last save point and it would be as if it never happened. You’d get all the satisfaction without losing your job/getting expelled.
I’ll stop there and give you a chance to voice your opinions. I think this is the longest first post I’ve ever written. Sorry about that!

Being able to come back to life after I've been killled by guards/police is one I'd go for.
Being able to eat muchrooms that make me bigger.
Being able to fly with a cape or having all sorts of moves and abilities (e.g. fly a plane, drive a tank, using advanced weaponry) without learning them.
