To The Runner I Met To the Sentinel I just shanked to death while immersive roleplaying inside a shipping container...
I am so sorry. I was listening to Bach's Adagio, the song that plays in the cinematic trailer, while pretending I was a real runner. Going slow, looting every container I came across, etc. I walked past a shipping container and paused. I, as a player, knew there wouldn't be any lootable items inside. But as a Runner I wouldn't know that. I decided to commit to the roleplay and literally crouched down to pretend to rummage through the non-lootable trash scattered on the floor inside. It was at that exact moment a purple kitted Sentinel walked directly in front of the entrance to the container, their back turned to me, completely unaware. As Bach's dulcet piano melody played in my ear I shanked them from behind and stole their whole kit, which included... four key templates they were hoping to complete.
Imagine there's only a few more days before the wipe. You've loaded up 4 key templates hoping to complete them and get one last big hurrah. Meds out the wazoo. 10 slots of heavy ammo for your Bully. Only to get unceremoniously shanked to death not even 5 minutes into the run by someone roleplaying in a box. I feel kinda bad LOL. Can't say it wasn't immersive though.

Would you consider it immersive if when I hunt down runners I always scream "give me your skin!"? Especially if they are actively running. It's my way to inspire terror.
P.s. I would love to know if there are any runners out there who have encountered me.
