Too few of them have ever given you the ability to scorch a brick wall with a fireball spell, or break the head of a statue representing some nasty, self-righteous crime boss dwelling in the city which is under his control. These are not essential things to any story, but they would go a long way in making the player feel he actually belongs to the world. Be sure to read the rest and follow our link... |
