So why aren't people pretending to be their characters in other kinds games? That's the one I don't get. RP'ing as an Ash Ketchum wannabe while going head to head on your gameboy with pokemon, or talking in character while going around the track in mario kart, or w/e. Talking in character as Master Chief, etc. Do non-fantasy mmo's have this issue of people pretending to be their imaginary avatar in game? I haven't noticed it that I recall.
