Re: AWMBI - Discussion
I've seen that, too, though I feel I'm more willing to be lenient with RJ when he throws up a road-block that I didn't expect to come across, even if it seems counter-intuitive to game play.
I have been doing the PM thing and it seems to work fairly well, thank goodness!
I don't even see Claire and Azure being in conflict too much in character, is the funny thing. Claire might balk at Azure's brusque personality, but aside from that, the worse that I can see is that the two would be rival researchers -- not that Claire's had as much a chance to use that 'seeks knowledge' thing lately. XD When I started out doing that, I found it more difficult to get results from RJ so I've since toned it down (not worth the grief to go on knowledge hunts that aren't going anywhere, right? Now I suppose I just need to PM RJ to find out what I can and shouldn't try to pursue! I'm assuming essence-related things from past/present/future... but that's so vague. XD)
But on the other hand, IC conflict can be good, yeah, but I feel like it has more of a place in games that are geared less towards stats leveling up and more towards free-form games where there aren't adventures and missions to go on. >_> We hardly have a chance to get friendly relationships going, let alone vendettas.
Now I've rambled off on a tangent. XD
Um, if Claire is not kidnapped and raped and things go okay, and she's up for another mission, if Azure stumbles over her in the hotel and Claire sees a reason to go, she may -- I'm sorry if I came across as being a bitch, I'm just wary.
