Roleplay quirks inspired by game glitches?
World of Warcraft is a big game, with thousands of items and lines of code that can interact in unpredictable, sometimes hilarious ways.
It's also a rich, colorful base providing many wonderful Role Playing opportunities where the players can explore their imagination.
Sometimes these two aspects combine!
Can you think of any funny, silly or just plain weird game glitches that you've made a part of your toon's "character" or role playing experience?
For example, when I rolled a female tauren paladin (I'd had a girl cow before, but she was a DK so this didn't happen) I notice that her eyes appear to always be closed in her portrait (though not on the loading screen.) Really you'd think they would have fixed this by now, but no matter.
So I decided that she was blind from birth, and through her training as a Paladin, she trained herself to be able to "see" by the Light and detect evildoers by their dark auras. Even the ones who aren't directly servants of the Dark such as the Twilight's Hammer, she can still "see" them because all sentients have various amounts of both light and darkness in their soul and so cast a "shadow" in the Light that she can detect.
And how can she "see" to fight animals who aren't good or evil at all? Easy -- before she became a Paladin, she was one of the best animal trackers around! Best nose this side of Kalimdor!
Anyone else have good stories of glitches or weird game mechanics that have become a part of your character?
