Hey guys.


I have one big problem that's been bugging me for quite a while now.


I'd like to hear some opinions about "Story" vs. "Freedom" within games, since I can't really decide for one of those.


Do you prefer playing games in which you follow a consequent story line and characters, which you are forced to play as?


Or do you prefer let's say ... choosing a background story (and maybe even character creation) yourself and just roam through an open world as your virtual self (kind of)?


Right now, I believe best would be the second choice, but with optional followers as for example in the elderscrolls series.


What is your personal taste / why would you recommend or not recommend doing one or the other?


I know, that first choice would be easier tech-wise, but I feel I would rather love to have more freedom and thus maybe having multiple choices at some points of a game.


Thanks.

Don't forget, aspiring writers: Personality isn't what your characters do, it is WHY they do it.
Hello! I would like to know if there are any pluggings or any way to customize how battles look?
I was thinking that when you start the battle for it to appear the eyes of your characters and opponents sorta like Ace Attorney.
Sadly I don't know how that would be possible so I would be needing help! If you can help me in any way I would really apreciate it!
The biggest debate we need to complete on which is better, Waffles or Pancakes?
