Interesting Discussion on Choice vs. Agency

edited October 2018 in Ashes Of Creation General Discussion
There's an interesting discussion going on in reddit about Choice vs. Agency in MMORPGs.  WoW is the example (Boo) but I think the discussion is still a very interesting one.

Ashes appears to be implementing with Agency in mind but it's still fascinating as its something I've never really put into words or broke down from an MMO standpoint.

    I was going to post about this, but saw yours! it is a good read, people should check it out.

    It has been my gripe for a few years about the industry in general, that "games" these days are often not actually games, at their core, because of this issue specifically.

    I mean, that's the allure of Ashes, every choice will have an impact on the world itself. There will be more Agency in this game then we know what to do with. (Hopefully)

    very good read, hopefully intrepid can learn from the mistakes made by their peers sooner rather than later.

    Very true, it does seem like we will have a lot of player agency in Ashes so let's hope it continues on this trend.
