But not like you can in a pencil and paper RPG. Simply because: you can't role play on a CRPG. Therefore, creating a character to become god and able to do the cool looking stuff and kill the pointless monsters in a more impressive manner, is more important than building up your character's personality through adventure. Now, I understand, because I do it too, that in the video game part of RPGing and every other facet of video games, if you're not the best, j00 suxx0rz.

To be honest, I think any GM in their right mind would kick anyone like that out of his/her campaign. They don't run around for hours at a time pointlessly killing things for money. When people play D&D with paper and pencil, they do not play SOLELY to build their character up to a master knight, or god-like mage or whatever. Therefore, not ALL videogame ideals work correctly with those rules. I mean if you can't max out in both then what's the point?

I forgot that D&D rule when it comes to dual classing.
