This is just musing but Im writing a set up to a game where you play the bad guy in rpgs.
every RPG has the crazed villian sure that their dreams are only possible with world domination.
So naturally I wanted to see What I could do with such a set up- these villians always have hordes of soldiers/ but never do we find where they come from. So thats what My set up is; A soldier whose fed up with the politics of her time decides to have a revolution, recrutes Members and takes over cities. Starting small by getting a few supporters and as she takes over hostile territories shell be greeted by both supporters and dissenters, who will protest- why not have a choice to assassinate or debate the naysayer? The choice mechanic in gaming has been either choices dont mean anything or they change dialog and plot features but are just an illusion of choice. I want like some choices are either directly right or wrong(consequence) or are just a matter of opinion or priority(Want the Band of Rebels or the resources?) that way theres never that problem of feeling like youre choosing things to get a certain ending. I just finished Mass effect, can you tell?
