[QUOTE="Fralex, post: 6619097, member: 6785902"] Well, the "enemy team" idea was just an exampleI haven't worked out the general progression just yet, so I'll probably be able to better explain what I mean then, but my idea is to put in a series of subtle "fail-safes" I can use if something goes wrong and the players are lost for whatever reason. Like, "railroding" implies constraining something to one direction if they try to go somewhere else, whereas this would be more like giving myself ways to nudge them in a certain direction I believe will help progress the plot if they don't find a direction on their own first. Like really passive GPS, I suppose. You can drive wherever you want, but I'll always know where to direct you if you're not getting anywhere. This is probably closer to what I was trying to say. The idea is to have some things like these prepared, and then a few things like these only I'd put them in various points in the middle that help add to the momentum of the plot if it feels like it's slowing down.
