Limitations of ChoiceScript as a medium

[Spire]

Not having read the original exchange it strikes me as if Wraith seems mostly irked by the advertising /company blurb being a bit over the top.

Otherwise I’ll just quote myself, from my Immersion vs. Agency thread…

@Spire

At the risk of sounding like a jerk, if people want to play exactly the character they want they’ll have to make their own game or look at something more freeform than CYOA/IF. Like Collaborative Fiction or Tabletop RPGs or LARP. I’ve done all those and enjoy them for their own merits but any prefabricated game only ever allows for you to make the choices someone built into them anyway. Like in those Skyrim vs. Dragon Age debates when people would say, ‘You can do whatever you want in Skyrim!’? That’s a phallacy.

In this context though the CoG adblurb is no more or less over the top than the advertising for any piece of media.

Otherwise I fear I pretty much agree with everything else said in this thread. Words allow me to create my own vivid imagery in my mind and rails allow for tighter storytelling.
