These two happen to me a good amount, Pokemon or otherwise. Also, "What's the point of this game?" I usually answer with "To have fun" but sometimes people don't think that's a good enough response.

That's because most of them do.

And even though RPGs don't in the strict sense, in a more fluid sense they do because they're about progression. Route 23 is clearly analogous to somethine like stage 23, compared to Route 1.

Many people who don't play video games assume every game is built around a simplistic points system, like with team sports. I wouldn't be surprised if someone asked me that.

Well yes, depending on the numbering, and realistically if someone asks you what level you're on it's always hard to give an accurate numeric answer (hell even Sonic the Hedgehog used names and not numbers), but it's not like the answer "I'm about 5 areas from the end" or "I'm just a couple of areas past the very beginning" are inaccurate responses.

There are only a few games where the question "what level are you on?" doesn't have any sort of meaningful answer, like the Sims or something. Most of them have something that's fairly proximal to "levels" or "stages".

Fair enough, but the old-man-itis of the phrasing is a bit annoying. I'd rather just say "Where are you in the game?"

>>12005407
Why does she ask? No answer you give her will mean shit to her. Whether you said "Level 17" or "The Gates of Lothlorn" or "on the Dragon-Hunting mission" (I obviously haven't played Skyrim) it would mean nothing to her. It's like if I were to peek in on someone watching football and ask what the QB's stats were this season, they might as well respond in a foreign language.

My point being, she's trying her damdest to show interest in something you like even though it's totally alien to her, just roll with it.
