What do you mean with distinguish between virtual entertainment and reality, Mr Cramberryjuice? Also, have you finally found that princess Peach? I saw you many times try from the magic window in my kitchen as a kid but you never found her?

In all honesty, I have always loved reading and visual novels. When I read a novel or play a game I immerse myself in the character and experience. Those who don't read, live a life, those who do, live a thousand. Yesterday I was a lawyer, the day before an elf, and the previous one a too caring daddy. I have travelled the universe and defeated dragons. I have been good, evil, noble and arrogant, I have saved the world a few times and destroyed it many others. I have fallen in love and broken many hearts among the way. Meet great friends, amazing rivals and devastating enemies. I have surrender and fallen in despair in defeat and happiness in triumph. And I have enjoyed all.
That does not stop me to still be in this world planning my conquer on your blue planet, you lowly humans!
Also sounds/music that fit and support the right mood for the scene.
This. Music is absolutely key to produce the desired effect. It sets the mood in a way nothing else can. With the right render and the right music, you don't even need writing to convey emotion many times.
