>>>They could just use depersonalized conversation. It's possible. Although >>>giving the main character an identity is somewhat realistic. >> Of course it is possible... it's all in the way you use language. > It makes the story less involved for the player, Mr. Enierga. The >whole idea is not to "depersonalize" the player. How many of you guys actual enter your own name in these games. I usually enter something allong the lines of The Man or Stud. When I actually enter my name every time I see it, it reminds me of when I entered it in the first place. I program so maybe that has something to do with it. But it doesn't make for a more imersive experience from my standpoint. PDeMaio Is that a light at the end of the tunnel or just an oncoming train?
