Everybody plays RPGs differently, but it's funny how some people don't get the term "roleplaying" and are constantly, relentlessly playing their real selves in the game. So you get barbarians with the sensibilities of software developers.

It's natural that we gravitate towards familiarity.

Case in point, how some actors always seem to play the same character, no matter which movie they're in.

Yeah that's a good parallel. Lately I've been watching Kaitlin Olson's show High Potential. Even though she's playing a super-smart crime solver, to me it's the same character she played in It's Always Sunny and The Mick. Not that there's anything wrong with that lol.
