[QUOTE="Haltherrion, post: 5375674, member: 18253"] There's always lots of threads on railroading versus sandbox (or less pejoratively, prep'd versus ad hoc games). Which do you honestly like as a player and why? Myself, as a ref, I tend more to the sandbox on the spectruum although I still prep a lot. Maybe I'm really more in the middle but I like to think I create elements I can use wherever the players choose to go. As a player, I would state I like the same sort of setting yet when I'm not ref'ing in my group, the other most common ref tends to do a lot less flexible settings and honestly, I really enjoy his campaigns even though it often means I have little say in where the campaign goes. I guess in some ways this isn't too odd. In computer RPGs, I love Bethesda's open worlds like Morrowind and love Fallout but also love Dragon Age, both are fairly opposite on the player-freedom spectruum. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
