[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 8712864, member: 6801228"] That's still an ending. The new group is just a sequel. There is nothing that says the only ending an RPG has is to stop playing the RPG. Obviously they aren't the same, but people buy them all the time. Beowulf is incomplete, but I'm sure people buy it consistently every year. But, funny thing, an incomplete work starts the exact same way as a completed work. You cannot possibly tell if a work will be completed or not from how it starts. So... incomplete games don't discredit the comparison. True Equivalence remains True. You don't engage with an Opera the same way you engage with a novel, but both still tell stories. Storytelling is a fundamental connection. And just because Opera and Novels have differences, does not mean they do not share any similarities. Therefore, just because RPGs have differences, since they share the root of Storytelling, they also share similarities. [/QUOTE]
