Did a video game character ever make you see yourself in a different way?

Did a video game character ever make you see yourself in a different way? After I played through Max’s quest in The Outer Worlds, I realized that he and I are kindred spirits. For some reason after watching him come to terms with his existential life experiences, I’ve felt better acknowledging how mine have shaped me.

It's only few games that's been able to affect me emotionally but hardly psychologically. So, I can't really say that's enough to judge my gaming character's influence on me.

I play racing games, and I don't keep to their names, I play with random characters, I don't see such influencing my life in reality.

Racing game characters aren't all that recognized like the way AAA game protagonists are much more recognized.

When I play a game, I perfectly understand that the characters, setting, and the game play everything are fictional.

Video game story is fictional, nothing real. Just that, most of them are made quality and so real, making gamers to feel as if they're practicing in real-life.

Sometimes we are deeply moved into the game world, for instance we play in the virtual world but the experience can be real for instance, frustration of losing, pleasure of winning everything are real.

Such happens when I am in a competitive gaming with a fellow gamer either online or in an offline mode. I play in an intense way, pressure always come through, making look so real.

I've spoken about it on a number of forums so I apologise if I've already done so here (I've been away for a while too so I've some catching up to do), but Dragon Age: Origins' Zevran made me realise I'm bisexual. I'm going through all my reviews and I can't think of a game that had such a profound impact on me. The last time I felt anything similar was when I'd reviewed Yes, Your Grace, where I was overwhelmed by my love of the family the story is about.

I never knew you mentioned somewhere in the forum, that you're a bisexual. I was thinking you're a dude, no problem, you got the character's story that is appealing to you.

Bisexual is all about sexual orientation, it has nothing to do with the anatomy. You can be perfectly man or a woman and bisexual in sexual orientation.

I understand, and also, bisexuals can be refered to having two gender organs, or have sexual affinity for both genders.

I'd say I'm a lot like Solid Snake in that I'll stick to my objectives and keep pushing forward no matter the setbacks until it is complete.

Bisexuals do not have two gender organs. There is  different word for that.

Then which word best described that! When I was in the high school, that's what we always say, even read couple of times, it was just that way.
