[QUOTE="Kahuna Burger, post: 1429418, member: 8439"] I'm not malk, but henry, that is really insulting, and I'm suprized to see it coming from you. Basicly you're assuming that no one really enjoys a different game than you do, they just don't know they are playign it different and enjoy it out of ignorance. I enjoy games as a player when I know that my character will not die except by reckless stupidity.

It gives me the freedom to enjoy my character and enjoy the story. I'm happiest when these things are spelled out in advance and I know how much to bother investing in my characters.
