Its the using of terminology that has subjective defenitions. Narrative style, hack'n'slash, even the core term of role-playing all have different meanings for different folks. And that's why when I think I'm making one point, the person who reads it is getting something else entirely. Very frustrating because despite my best efforts to clarify my views, they are for nought.For example:  And the problem with this is that my personal definition of hack'n'slash is the playing with an absence of role-play, an absence of character individuality, just straight forward action. If you are doing lots of killing of stuff, but in character and RPing the massacres that your character deals out, then to me its not hack'n'slash. Its just a very bloody narrative RPG that I would have no problem with.</blockquote>
