[QUOTE="Ovinomancer, post: 8237103, member: 16814"] You have no experience with X, how would you know? Further, this is eliding that you think that X will probably not be immersive for you, but what you say is X is not immersive, and then go on to claim that counters are attacking your opinions. You actually have no idea about that, do you, because you haven't tried other ways. And that's 100% fine, by the way, no requirement to do so, but that makes the true statement really that you're happy with your approach because it gives you what you want, not that this is the only way. You'd get no pushback if you said this, by the way. I'm happy you enjoy gaming. Yup, but if you don't have experience you really shouldn't be saying much about other approaches other than you don't have experience with them or that you're happy as is, thank you very much. The motte, again. Feels. Cool, I'm glad you feel this way. Stick to saying that you're happy with your approach and stop trying to claim that your approach is the only way that the things you state you value are achievable. Especially in terms of asking if other approaches are even RPGs -- a point you've still left out there and not walked back, and are still ignoring, by the way, despite not a single person telling you that you're wrong to enjoy playing your way or suggesting that it's not RPGing. What you should do is then make claims about other games when you lack the experience and knowledge to do so. As I've said, a few times now, some of your claims about other games read as completely ignorant to anyone's that's played them. It's not a good look, and it shows that your arguments about what you feel are limited because you don't have the experience to generalize them. Which is, again, fine, you're not required to get that experience, but then you aren't going to be credible when you make general statements. [/QUOTE]
