To echo off other posters, CHOICE is good, but for exploration type games its good to make the game appear organic. To do that, its important to give the PCs a map or at least some rumors of other locations, which they can choose their path based on differing priorities. These priorities could be based on a number of encounters, rumors, or missions and its interesting to have them juggle them all at once. That way they'd decide between options they have gained all possibly in a short duration of one another:1) Take this wayward princess back to her kingdom .... for an arranged marriage (but her father will reward us!)?2) That old man with the prophetic gaze said there's a destiny for us in that distant mountain.3) This antique figurine I just found in a village bazaar has a map in it! To buried treasure?!4) Etc.To use internet gamer jargon .... its essentially a diffuse Sandbox type campaign. C.I.D.</blockquote>
