Single Character RPGs: How Can They Work?

I found Morrowind to be aimless and unsatisfying. As a result, it has soured me on "free-roam RPGs" so that I can no longer really enjoy RPGs that aren't linear.
this so much

overworlds that aren't navigable by menu really are almost too much for me at this point

also bethesda in general has a godawful design philosophy but that's something different altogether

p.s. vagrant story rules, you just have to learn how to play it properly (god forbid games have learning curves)

Dialogue, Characters, and You.

I think the main character -- and his/her companions -- should always interact with NPCs if you really want to make the dialogue engaging. It's actually a lot more realistic for an NPC to say "fyi there's a strong beast up north" than to recite their history with the thing if they're talking to a random mute. It's also way easier to care about the things they say when the main character gets involved, because if the main character doesn't care then why should the player?

I guess what I'm saying is that just being verbose won't get you anywhere.

p.s. serial commas forever, f u craze

Get Engaged: How A Partner Can Help

I have friends who like to talk about game design, but don't care enough about RPGs to offer much feedback. I also have friends I can talk to re: story, music, graphics, etc., and that's helpful to a point, but that's the stuff I don't need to talk about as much.

Occasionally I'll bore someone to death if I'm really struggling with some balance issue or whatever, or just to vent about shit being broken, but not much else. It's enough to be helpful/keep me working, but it's not the same as discussing with someone who's actually familiar with RM (especially VX) I guess.

p.s. f u sailerius give me your dormmates
