Short Version: What are some games that offer a chance to role play a character? How do you add to your role playing experience in games?
Long Version: Despite having played Skyrim from start to finish multiple times, I still find the game enjoyable because of the opportunity to role play a character. My classic build in Skyrim is a ranger: Lightly armored, sneaky, good with a bow and with dual blades etc. When I decided to stop playing the game as a challenge to be conquered and more as an experience is roleplaying, I had a lot more fun.
Where I once looted once corpses in tombs and rummaged through urns looking for coins to maximize my loot, I decided my character did this because he was curious and liked poking around in people's pockets. To make the game more challenging, I opted to not equip the armor of my downed foes since A) most armor is made for the wearer and B) my character preferred wearing things he made himself since that gave him some peace of mind in the quality of his gear.
The above are just a few examples of how role playing enriched my gaming experience. So, I'm looking for other games where I can have a great role playing experience. Also, I'd like to know what ways you enrich your role playing experience.
Here's an article about the fun of RPing characters in Skyrim.
