What game mechanics do you enjoy or that surprised you when playing a game? I recently started playing Tunic and I love building out the “manual” for the game and getting hints on how to play.

    Elder Scrolls’ take on Dungeons and Dragons gameplay. If you read Arena’s manual, it’ll explain that they wanted a game that steers you into one dirrection, but if you want to say “fuck it” and go the other way, the story should support that. Similar to a DnD session where players don’t do what the Dungeon Master planned so he has to make up sonething else on the spot.

    To this day, that’s why the main storyline is relatively short. But a storyline for alternative ways of life than “the hero who saved the world” exist, no matter if you’re a warrior, mage, thief, or assassin.
