[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 6853311, member: 23751"] False. He uses that as one example, but clearly says, "In place of this, players should try to become that person they are imagining during the course of the game, and conduct the actions of their characters accordingly." That clearly says that if you are playing a stupid PC, you should try to become that person and play the actions accordingly. i.e. stupid. Anything further that he says does no override that. Everything that comes later must take that statement into consideration. When figuring out puzzles as a PC, you do so according to the person you imagined and solve the puzzle accordingly. When he talks about gaming, he is not talking about gaming in a way that supercedes anything he has already said. In fact, he explicitly says otherwise, "[b]Role playing can be the major thrust, or action and combat, or any of the other elements.[/b] Similarly, the underlying game might offer one or another while its accessories and scenarios develop some different aspects. [b]Most games and support material are general and offer a reasonably well-balanced mix.[/b] Then he goes on to talk about competitions and tournaments. [MENTION=6787503]Hriston[/MENTION] No I didn't confuse words. The paragraph you quote does not override any of the other ones, so any gaming and goals have to be undertaken with the understanding that it is in the context of playing your person as he is in the game and acting accordingly, including being stupid if the PC is stupid. In any case, the entire article is an opinion piece with no more weight than any other opinion on these forums. [/QUOTE]
