[QUOTE="Guest 85555, post: 8165710"] This isn't my experience at all with this. Not only can the players literally do whatever they want within what situation is presented, their actions and their choices created new situations that the GM then has the setting responds to. Unless the GM and players can only think of three possibilities at a time (and sorry simply insn't my experience on either side of the screen here), this simply isn't the case. I could really care less if others agree or not to be honest, I know what my own experience of play is. But I am a bit forceful on this point because this was the thing that struck me like thunder the first time I sat down to play an RPG: it was a level of freedom and immersion I had never experienced before in any other medium (movie, book, video game, etc). And it was due to the power of the GM saying "What do you want to do" and the fact that my answer could be anything I thought of within the limits of my character. [/QUOTE]
