I like when a game remembers specific dialogue choices I made earlier, but irl when that happens it's usually done at my expense in some way, or it's someone asking about some ongoing hardship I don't want to be reminded of.

Climbing through vents. I haven't actually tried it in real life but I know my claustrophobia wouldn't be cool with it.

survival

being in a commited relationship

A couple of things:
• Fishing: I find this extremely stressful in real life and I hate it when I have to feel the fish in and then grab it with my hands. In games I find it relaxing and quite addicting.
• Fashion: I like to buy good looking clothes from time to time but I don't like to engage too much with ongoing trends. In games however I go completely bananas with my wardrobe and I like to be the best looking player in the room.
• Racing: I don't have a drivers license in real life because I'm scared of going into real traffic. But in games it's like my most played genre, I even have an expensive wheel setup.

I love racing games but am a super nervous driver in real life.
Also, it's not really that I dislike it, but having tried out rock climbing in real life recently really made me realise how ridiculously difficult it is to pull of various climbing maneuvers in Assassin's Creed, Tomb Raider, Uncharted etc. must actually be lol. Pulling yourself up a ledge with even a little bit of an overhang is tough as hell if you don't have experience.

Lmao this was my pick. Definitely talking. I looooove social links in Persona. I hate socializing irl unless we're already friends.
always run, killing, climbing (terrible fear of heights irl), taking screenshots vs taking photo's irl
This and driving for me. I'm terrified of hurting someone with a vehicle.
Shooting enemies with guns.
Slashing enemies with swords
Kicking enemies off cliffs/impaling them on spikes
Punching innocent civilians, every so often
Driving into oncoming traffic

Shenmue, awkward conversations with strangers on the street, amusing and entertaining in a game.
