Isn't this site called 'The Escapist'?

[Drake the Dragonheart]

A combination of 1 and 3.

God, do I hate real life. The sky is grey, there aren't any knights who can shoot concentrated light beams out of their eyeballs, and there certainly aren't enough dragons.

oh how I would love to have a pet dragon.

OT: probably all of the above at some point or another.

Most often though I play to escape into an adventurer. I can also be a bit of a megalomaniac with such characters. Give me a skill tree, I want to max it out. I want max stats if there are stat maxes.

A play games for the recreation more than to escape anything truth be told.

The site is called The Escapist, but I'm not trying to escape anything when I play the vidya. I just play when I don't have more pressing matters to attend to.

'Cause it's fun.

And 'cause vidya.
