I like TTRPGs. I also have no creativity, so I'm usually really quiet until combat, in which case I kind of have to speak to take my turn. My actions are usually just "let us help the party". Not good at playing my own individual character. I like CRPGs based off of TTRPG because I have dialogue choices and prompts. I do not have to generate a personality and actions all by myself.
Yeah, I know there are tables to help with this, but it is one thing to write that personality trait on my sheet and another to actually know how to play it out in different situations. I like the predefined options CRPGs give me. I'm so bad at embodying a character not myself otherwise, and this lets me do so.
