What if the person is introverted?
Answer:
For one thing this is a very interesting point in history for certain cultures. A lot of us were raised on Arthurian Legends, Grimm Fairy Tales, and Disney, who romanticized the time period.
Fantasy can be a lot of fun and role playing expands the imagination.
It is of course possible and not uncommon for some people to "live" more in fantasies than reality. It seems logical that an introverted person who be more prone to single player video games. But an extrovert could get just as caught up in going to Medieval Fairs, Theme Parties, and actually living the part as much of the time as possible.
So I do not believe that this interest would indicate if a person is an introvert or an extrovert. Nor, could participation in role playing games.
Because they are fun? They are actually quite social activities.
Because some people are fascinated with that era, just like many like to reenact the Civil War. They like history and what it represents and it gives them a chance to be with others who enjoy the same thing.
I am very introverted myself and I never have become interested in role playing games. I prefer reading news articles online, painting, and reading books. Some people who are into role playing games tend to be more on the extroverted side from my experience. An interest in role playing games has more to do with whether you enjoy this sort of thing or not.
The way the West was not!
Most of the movies and television series dealing with the Old West are depicting many things that never were.
Camelot, King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, etc. are the archetypes of fond myths relating to a time that never was.
At least the people who dress up like they are from the Star Trek Enterprise realize they are acting out something that is 100% fictional.
These medieval types can be more delusional at times.
Pseudo-history is more dangerous than sci-fi play acting any day.
