[QUOTE="Pentius, post: 5670213, member: 6676736"] I voted 3, because that seems about right to me. I'd take 1 over 2, though. All of my most boring times playing the game involve long hallways that must be searched inch by inch(note: hallways of any physical length are Long when searched this way) because the one time you don't search hard enough, you get a poison dart in the neck. This way of searching does, in a way, push for more player immersion and engagement of the game world, but it's entirely in a way I do not want. I want the player engaged with the character, with the situation, with trying to bring about in character goals. Searching every inch looking for secret doors or hidden treasure feels more like a puzzle game. Puzzle games are fine, lots of people like them, I personally want something else from my gaming experience. I'm not in the dungeon to poke at cobblestones with a 10' pole, I'm there to kill the trolls before they can eat my kidnapped friends. [/QUOTE]
