This is a topic that’s been on my mind for a considerable time now. There are some discussions that _almost_ breach it, but none of them really address what I consider the spirit of the matter. So: how important is character depth and character development to you in interactive fiction? The title might seem like I’m demanding more character depth because of a perceived lack, but no, I’m referring to supply and demand. Specifically, is there a demand for games that heavily emphasise character depth/development/interaction in ChoiceScript games? I know inclusive romance options are essentially _the_ major attractant for players (if I’m mistaken, please, do correct me!), but is their presence nevertheless secondary to the plot of the game? I’d _love_ to get to spend more time with them in games, but what’s more important is how many of you share that view. I would love to hear everyone’s input on this! I’ll mostly be listening, since my goal here is to learn from the discussion rather than to participate in it myself. Here’s a poll for posterity! * * * **On a scale of one to five, how much would you like to see more games that emphasise character interaction and development?** _Poll ([view on site](https://forum.choiceofgames.com/t/polls-about-cog-hg-and-if-games/49125/123))_ * * * PS: I realised it might be useful to have some sort of control poll to gauge interest in character depth/development/interaction vs plot, so here’s a poll for that too! (Feel free to make suggestions below if you think the options are too limiting. I used a rating system again purely for uniformity.) Just note that the poll assumes good writing for all aspects of the story. * * * **On a scale of one to five, how much more important do you consider characterisation than the plot of a game?** _Poll ([view on site](https://forum.choiceofgames.com/t/polls-about-cog-hg-and-if-games/49125/123))_ --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.choiceofgames.com/t/polls-about-cog-hg-and-if-games/49125)._
