In the SR MMO discussion we broke down into a debate about the problems with DDO. I don't know how long-lived that discussion will be, but I think most of its fury can be diverted here.
How important are the established rules of a PnP game when making a video game adaptation of it? (Specific to an RPG version where such a concept is applicable, obvious SR as an FPS has almost no use for the established rules). Is necessary to make sure it is actually Shadowrun (or D&D, or Exalted, or...) OR Is it really just futile. Will everyone just complain about your holes and you'll ultimately fail to satisfy to the point of it hindering the final product? OR Are the rules not necessary as long as you have a workable set of rules? Is the experience of SR completely decoupled from its game mechanics? |
