Sounds pretty cool. Last game that made me really care about NPCs was the Mass Effect trilogy, and I played that like 3 years ago. I mean, I actually did cry when Garrus died on the ending of my Mass Effect 2 playthrough... that was heavy.... then on my ME3 playthrough it was Mordin... :'(

Mordin is a required death but how dare you let the best bro in the universe die?

Exactly. It was the bees, so effing unexpected and I barelly had time to mourn him... I could have just loaded a previous save, but his death gave a lot more meaning to my game.

And Mordin is the cutest thing in the universe, omg. He had a good, meaningful death I admit. Still sad though :'(

I think it does. In those cases I fell like I have to add a lot of myself in my characters in order to relate to them. My Shepard was a caucasian, red haired, paragon female, which is bascially myself lol. This approach simplify things, as I don't have to worry about breaking character since the character would just do what I would xD
On subsequent playthroughs I will roleplay as very different Shepherds though. After finishing the game once it's much easier to make different decisions because I know what is going to happen already, so I can just play around with the possiblities. I repeat this pattern in every game, even when I can customise my characters a lot like in TES or The Sims series.

If I was to answer this two years ago, I would say no as I never got into roleplaying.
Now, I would say yes I add myself to my roleplaying to a limited and literal limit. My character that I have been working on for about a year is heavily based on me even having the same name as me, John-Paul. I do think to add a little of yourself into your character that makes that character seem and feel organic, and you can get behind it more. Being a former Preacher all my characters tend to worship the Divines whether it be Auri-El or Akatosh or Magnus and are usually in the Lawful Good to Chaotic Good alignment.
There isn't much else I can add as several people before have said really good things that I would just be repeating.
