[QUOTE="Thomas Shey, post: 9646636, member: 7026617"] I think to ask that every decision is made with maximum information without any effort on the players' part to acquire that is an unreasonable ask, though. It seems there needs to be some kind of balance there for the setting fiction to actually make sense. That is, however, partly an artifact of the fact that modern and post-modern settings are generally very high information than you'll get in most fantasy or post-apocalypse settings. In Eclipse Phase the universal Mesh access makes almost all information not actively concealed easily accessible. In Gloranthan RQ there is all kinds of information that is either not available to anyone at any distance from the location worth mentioning, or is actively wrong and misinforming because of biases of those conveying the information; finding out what's going on in some parts of Prax in a reliable way adds up to "get fairly close and try and try to sort out the wheat from the chaff."
