"Special Events" and "Purposes of Life"

[emuace]

(sorry for my english)
I like Planeshift character creation. I can give my character unique personality, life's story and statistics based on he's/she's rooth. What would you say if your character had a purpose of life, so player could aim it, e.g. character "X" would've to see some ancient city. X would start research, study many books and do what is necessary to find that city.

Second thing is Special Events. E.g. someone says that there is big treasure hided in some dangerous place. Players could conquer or support each other to find it before others do.

Those could make this game more interesting, do you agree with me??

Well, this may be part of the character creation or may even develope later on. But it is up to the player to choose such a thing for his character and should not be part of the technical part of character creation.

I think there will be special events as soon as there is a GM creating it. But even other players might start this though they lack the abilities to create things (apart from smithing).

I think players would have problems with with remembering who they are in game. If it were technical part they'd be forced to remember

No. The players who take the extra work to develop a background for their characters know exactly who their characters are. Some even write it down somewhere, e.g. in the forum. The ones that don't want the RP part of this game wouldn't want to be forced to use it. Simple as that.

Sorry, but any kind of list would be too limiting. And I don't like to be forced to do something in regard to RP, neither by the system nor by other players. Forced roleplay is really a bad thing.
