[QUOTE="bert1001 fka bert1000, post: 9234766, member: 7029588"] I'd rather call that connection something else. If that was the definition, I don't think the most immersion is necessarily the best goal. For me the desired immersion is more about "does the game easily allow for in fiction situations that emulate the type of character actions, situations, genre and world I'm playing in". So, despite the dissociated mechanics of FATE, I have had many "immersive" games with that system. The characters can do anything they should be able to do, situations occur that reinforce the type of world you are in, etc. I'm still playing mostly from character POV and the player / character decision making is most of the time fairly tight. But when I step out of that player-character tightness, and as player spend the FATE point to say there is a friend on the inside of this prison we need information from because I have "friends in low places" aspect it doesn't decrease my immersion, it reinforces and bolsters it.
