Ask AI: Explain what "Low Effort Roleplay" means and provide two examples

"Low Effort Roleplay", often referred to as "LERP", is a term used predominantly in gaming communities, specifically in roleplaying games (RPGs). It refers to a style of role-playing where players put minimal effort into their character's personality, backstory, behaviors, and interactions with the environment and other characters. It's when players treat the game as a typical video game rather than a role-playing opportunity, ignoring the immersion and complexity of character development expected in the role-playing experience. 1. Example One: A player used a character in a medieval fantasy RPG named John. Instead of crafting a detailed backstory or personality for John, the person behind the character simply makes him fight enemies and collect loot, interacting minimally with other characters, and defaulting to simple, one-dimensional responses. He doesn't engage in any in-depth dialogue or character-driven quests. 2. Example Two: In an online multiplayer RPG, a player creates a character named Lucy. Lucy is supposed to be an experienced medic with a nuanced medical knowledge. However, whenever her team gets into a fight and someone is injured, the player simply types "Lucy heals you" rather than engaging in a more in-depth, character-driven action according to Lucy's background, like "Lucy quickly knelt beside the wounded, using her extensive knowledge on field medicine to apply the right herbs and bandages". The product is a hollow action with no depth and contribution to the role-play environment.
