I get some people's hopes for a game, and the desire to see more player agency. But surely there is a better way of expressing it? ,.-~*´¨¯¨`*·~-.¸-(_MEA_)-,.-~*´¨¯¨`*·~-.¸
Correct. But the use of player agency is a way for them to express "they know what they are doing" while leaving you confused. I'm of the opinion that they themselves are clueless.
In footbal (ie: soccer to some), announcers have taken to use the word transition instead of two excellent words that clearly explains what is happening. Those two words are: counter attack. The word transition tells me crap.

Neil Pollner @neilpollner I'm going to say someone you haven't met yet. If for no other reason than it allows me to dodge the question.

Destin Legarie @destinlegarie Let's take out the Kett! *Begins making out, keeps making out, gets super awkward for squadmates* Ian S. Frazier @tibermoonOh, you've seen this bug too? Sylvius the Mad Sylvius the Mad _the_MadI don't think the devs should get to decide what an emotionally appropriate time is. More player agency, please. (╯°□°)╯ Aaaw yeaaah! @lucidstrike It's their story to tell. The player only influences the particular telling of it. Sylvius the Mad Sylvius the Mad _the_Mad Telling a specific story makes for a lousy RPG. The player needs to be free to craft his character as he sees fit. Ian S. Frazier @tibermoon
This was a very obvious bug, folks, not a reduction in agency. You'll have plenty of agency. The latter part of this conversation reads like a secular school nurse's manual on how to address sex ed. questions in a fundamentalist curriculum. It's got to be taken seriously but that can be challenging.

Matthew Schmidt @beergutbarry ME1 is still my all time favourite game. That opening music, bringing the fleet through the relay at the end. Magic.
Ian S. Frazier @tibermoon I know, right? And Shepard's little smile while limping out of the pile of rubble at the end. Gets me every time.

Yeah, it's sad but true but at some point everyone stuck in the idea that RPGs are player-made stories will realize they're only able to do whatever the developers have designed for them.

Which is kind of the point. Every narrative has a limited range of movement within a story arc already determined. It applies to every single story ever told with varying degrees of freedom, either as a player, reader, listener, writer, etc, etc.

I wouldn't mind if she enjoyed alcohol, but i would mind if her plot was just to buy her a drink and get drunk. Would like all the notable crew members to get a decent amount of quality story.

This was a very obvious bug, folks, not a reduction in agency. You'll have plenty of agency. Ah, the things one has to read these days. All stories are specific, sir, else they wouldn't be stories. Ah, there's this one game I remember, I think I've heard about it some decades ago, an RPG where you are free to do pretty much anything, you have your inventory, the currency varies depending on your background. You just can't choose your race, gender or back story. It also doesn't let you customize your face and attributes at the intro screen. You build your profile over the years. You can pursue romances, friendships with whoever is available in your circle of contacts or outside. It can also be a first person shooter, after your character has enough XP. You can choose a profession, raise a family, be the bad guy. It's all your choice. Nobody knows who developed it, even if somebody did. But you play through everything and every story is different for each player. I heard it has around 7 billion players now. There is no option to save or reload in a playthrough. If you die, you can't restart. It's over forever. The name still escapes me, but I'm sure you all have heard about it.
