(One which I alluded to earlier.) A story created by an author will follow a certain narrative formula. There are the kind of stories where even if things might seem dire and uncertain we will actually know for sure that in the end the hero will foil the bad guys' plans and get the girl. But when we gamify it, we have some some tough choices to make. Do we want a system which consistently reproduce this sort of story, or do we want to emphasise the feeling of peril, uncertainty and accomplishment by actually making things uncertain?</blockquote>
