[QUOTE="RangerWickett, post: 7622410, member: 63"] When writing ZEITGEIST: The Gears of Revolution, there are many urban adventures, but the 'gating' was more information based. You didn't know you had a reason to go certain places until you accomplished preliminary investigations. You can look up and see the spooky mountain in the middle of the city from the get-go, but you don't know what you need to do up there until you follow a few leads and learn that a seer wants to go up there to get a clear look at the stars, over the haze of smog from the city's new industry, which in turn gives you information you can use to track down the main villain. Likewise, you could walk into the main villain's house at any point, but you don't know he's the villain, and even if you're suspicious he has secret allies, so just [i]killing[/i] him doesn't count as a win, because you won't have rooted out his whole network. You need evidence to put him away and stop the whole scheme. [/QUOTE]
