[QUOTE="Bedrockgames, post: 8205964, member: 85555"] But here is the problem with that for many people. For a lot of gamers, immersion is about feeling like you are there in your character' shoes. If you have a brilliant idea that you know would work, and your character is supposed to be not smart enough to come up with such an idea, that creates a real gulf between the player and the character for some types. This is one reason by the way to allow people to essentially play themselves, it is a more honest interaction with the setting in some ways. Some folks immerse by being in the world and by solving the puzzle with their minds (not by simulating the playing a particular personality trying to solve the puzzle). I don't think there is one answer here, but I do think this line emerges as a clear distinction in playstyle and taste, and its okay for there to be different approaches (people are at the table for different reasons).
