Considering gaming experiences are usually more enjoyable than real life, I’d like to ask what’s outside like before logging out.

They're more enjoyable for the player. It usually sucks big time to be an NPC in a game

I dunno man, I think I'd enjoy being an NPC in some of the sim/builders I play. I enjoy it when my loyal subjects are happy.

On the other hand, if they're not happy I usually decide to give them something to be not happy about.

You know what, forget the whole NPC thing. Players are voletile gods.

I’d hate being an NPC in the games I play. Especially since fiery deaths are often a loophole to the “no killing NPCs” rule.
