I'd like to talk about Immersion and Character Ownership.
If you don't have exclusive ownership of a character, then can a player still have anykind of Immersion experience?
I don't know about other players, but one of the perks I get out of playing is a happy zen about my characters and I'm possessive about that. Yes, I want to enjoy whats going on with my fellow players. I want collaborative play, but I also want to feel that sense of Immersion.
I like Universalis but its a completely different gaming experience and my happy Zen is missing. I want to know how to achieve open collaboration on story and still have enough ownership that I get my Zen. Is this an impossibility?
thanks,
