I find it hits a good level of having interesting mechanics and not getting TOO bogged up in bookkeeping.<BR/><BR/>One of the reasons that annoyed me about other gamebook series is that there's usually only "one true path" to win the game, and they usually require the ability to read the author's mind. <BR/><BR/>Should I enter the right or left door? How the heck should I know, considering I haven't been given anything I can use to base my decisions? Lone Wolf however gives you additional information through your skills and such and thus I don't feel that cheated when I die somehow.<BR/><BR/>And I agree with the "computer does things better", so it's kind of odd that so far, I haven't seen any Visual Novel adaptations of Lone Wolf type games yet... it seems like the perfect medium to move these sort of games on. A combat skip option could be provided on future replays so players who want to explore all the paths without getting bogged down by other factors can enjoy themselves.Davzzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04735384260183146745noreply@blogger.com
