[QUOTE="Jaeger, post: 8148702, member: 27996"] Railroading is some cases is a necessity or convenience. One-shots, con games, etc.. The CRPG market is a railroad because time and money dictate a limited play experience. In exchange for railroading you the CRPG offers instant accessibility, challenging yet not annoying gameplay, and tries to offer a compelling "storyline" that all combine to offset the fact that you are on rails. While in RPG's railroading can be a a necessity or convenience in certain situations (and nothing wrong with that in their context.) IMHO you are robbing yourself of a play experience that CRPG's can't ever hope to match if you engage in them as a matter of routine. If I may inquire - adapting for a table top game? If so what do you think it dies differently? And how do you make it work with dice...? [/QUOTE]
