Message: <blockquote data-quote="Guest&nbsp; 85555" data-source="post: 8146163">I've seen the same argument from the side of sandbox and playing a living world. I think this kind of argument just sounds like a dismissal of other styles of play. I get that if you want more narrative play, what you are after here makes sense. What I don't get is the idea that everyone really wants that, even if they don't realize it. You are leading with your conclusion. I don't think you can compare something as subjective as gameplay to a virus. You are comparing things that can be measured and quantified with things that can't. And in the case of RPGs, it a priori obvious that some people are perfectly content to play without any kind of narrative construction at all. And even if narrative construction is present, that doesn't mean it is a priority at all. This argument basically accuses people who don't want view games the same way as you do as being crazy or sick</blockquote>
