RPG Maker Forums

What I mean is this: in all rpgs, there are places your character can check or examine, you know, statues, bushes, jars, desks, etc. Sometimes, you get a message that says something like "It's just a statue", other times, you get a message in the line of "omg you found an item!!!", and yet, there are other times when you simply cannot examine an element you thought you could examine; turns out the statue was just there for decoration and you cannot interact with it in any way.

In case something is just there for background decoration, do you prefer it to always read something when you click it? ("it's an old chair", "it's a bed, it looks new") or do you like it better when you click on it and, if the object is not relevant to the story or game progression, it doesn't say anything. 

Thanks in advance for your replies.

Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
one bad plugin combo later and one of my followers is moonwalking off the screen on his own... I didn't even more yet on the new map lol.
time for a new avatar :)
