[QUOTE="JamesonCourage, post: 6109492, member: 6668292"] Hey! Here's hoping you can help me out. None of those complications seem the same to me. They all have different implications, and some complications are more severe than others. Okay, that's true. I agree with that. There are obviously other differences, but that generalization is more or less right, so far, from what I can tell. Well, I might have some personal doubts about how Hussar would handle this. He's complaining that the desert is nothing more than a roadblock. The street problems seem like much less of a roadblock than the three you listed, which outright kill the opportunity to kill with his goal right now. Which, again, it seems like he wants to skip to dealing with. As far as myself goes, yes, it'd encourage me to look into it, which might include interacting with the street, police, media, etc. Right, I think this is similar to the barbarian killing a mercenary who had a wife example of play I gave earlier. You don't have to interact with it, but things other than practicality might push the players to do so. I like those kinds of complications a lot, actually. Not sure how right they are for Hussar's style (he wants to skip to dealing with the goal), but that resonates with me. I see the difference you're pointing out, though, I think. It's not as black and white as it might be to others, but I'm trying to grasp it. Thanks for the post. I appreciate it. As always, play what you like :) [/QUOTE]
