Roleplaying is the act of assuming the role of a character and acting out that character's thoughts, feelings, and actions in a fictional setting. This can be done in various contexts, such as video games, tabletop games, and online forums. In the context of video games like GTA V, roleplaying involves creating a character with a unique backstory, personality, and objectives, and interacting with other players and non-player characters (NPCs) in the game world as that character.
