[QUOTE="the Jester, post: 5040850, member: 1210"] Certainly it is. It doesn't sound like you're too familiar with classical megadungeons. Let me pull out a specific example: the Temple of Elemental Evil. Great big ol' multi-leveled megadungeon that is harder the deeper you go. One of the cool things about it is that you can find ways down into the deep levels early on, if you get lucky or look in the right places. I've run ToEE many times, and on several of those occasions, the pcs have chosen to take the deep levels on when they weren't high enough level for them to be anything less than deadly. Did some of those groups flee when they realized they were in trouble? Certainly. Did [i]all[/i] of them? Nope, and one or two even managed to make a couple of forays in and come out alive. How is this a non-meaningful choice? I think perhaps the type of players you are used to are simply predictable and not up to a serious challenge; however, there are players out there who would take that same challenge up. It sounds like you have very limited experience with sandboxes, so forgive me if I take your posts with a grain of salt. [/QUOTE]
