[QUOTE="Distracted DM, post: 9372187, member: 6894926"] I've had players that really vibe with open sandbox games- they love weighing decisions and figuring out who's who and what's what- I've found that these are also the players that will make guesses about what's going on behind the story, if someone is being manipulated, etc. and sometimes they're right, or sometimes their ideas are better than mine were so I use those instead! I've also had players that vibe with railroads, and who gets confused and freeze up with open sandbox games. If you ASK them though, "which would you rather play, railroad or sandbox?" [I]most[/I] of them aren't going to choose a "railroad" game for a number of reasons. Unfortunately, in my experience, this is the sort of thing that needs to be observed (usually by the GM) rather than having open discourse with the player(s). They both enjoy the game, but they engage with it for different reasons. One wants to play Morrowind, the other wants to play Halo. [/QUOTE]
