So all we know those moments when you get a really sick (5.1k Sidewinder <3) nasty crticals in boss battles. They make you feel cool and strong, especially when they break off like 5% of HP off of a trash mob. Those moments are cool.
But what roleplay? You don't see big bold numbers in the game naturally when you emote an epic sword stab, or land a shot right between the eyes... unless we create them with our minds and words.
What's one moment where you think your character is in tip top shape, never could be better, and could take on the world and in just one single emote, they're suddenly faced with life or death? In just one emote, a day filled with rainbows and sunshine would soon change your entire world? It could be emotional, such as your long time lover comes home and says "I'm sorry, I don't love you anymore." as the first thing they say. Or mental, such as losing your whole life's memories?
Or maybe those really light hearted critical hits, such as comic relief. Your character said something so dumb, their friend just turns around slaps your thought process out of the atmosphere! (Sound familiar, Agents? Or should I say 'Weenie Squad'?) Or they embarrassingly trip in front og all their friends in the middle of the Quicksand?
For me, one of these moments was when Franz literally /cleaved/ Oscare's chest wide open with a throwing axe in kust on emote! All for the sake of getting him to talk?! Rude I say!

"Critical fails; for when the GM sobs at night and the players get free checks."
