So what's your problem with your players, user?

So what's your problem with your players, user?

I have none because I don't want to play with the superstar speeds at my flags.

They rarely take initiative and are mostly content with following the plot.

Sometimes they take alternate path, but mostly they are fine with the railroad. I honestly expected anything but that, i thought players HATED following the plot, what the fuck, have i been lied to?

i don't have any

Players want to be railroaded. They just don't want to feel as though they are.

>i thought players HATED following the plot, what the fuck, have i been lied to?

you fucking newfags need to stop listening what Veeky Forums tells you to do
are you fucking retarded?

Maybe it's a good plot, user.

My players are all well adjusted young adults who can talk completely normally but in game they can't hold a conversation or follow social cues to save their lives. They act like autists. They just blurt out to NPCs what they want or what they're looking for without considering tone, context or the NPC's personality.

>Talking to merchant
>"Give me this sword for cheaper"
>Merchant asks why they should do that
>"Because"
>I tell them out of character they'd probably have a better chance of succeeding if they actually come up with an actual argument
>Player proceeds to spend 5 minutes umming and ahing trying to think of what to say

Half of them always can't make it to the session.

They don't try and be friends with each other in the game. I'm literally having to make them join an enemy faction where everyone is obliged to be friends with each other.
