The Missing God: Redux Turbo HD Ultimate Arcade Edition

Question: Why even vote if you don't care about the story or main character?

Well, whatever. I'm glad you're going to ignore the joke votes Golurk, though that will mean there are essentially only going to be two or three votes per choice. And uh, X? You might want to take a step back and listen to what you're saying.

He's not "my MC". He's the MC of this CYOA. So if he get's injured or killed by an obviously stupid decision, who exactly does that affect? Everyone.

So... Why should I not call someone a fool when they're being foolish?

I was more concerned with the "wait for the door to finish burning down" bit, and just passing the time humoring Emmpy.

Sorry, X. That was a bit out of line on my part. I apologize.

There's no reason you can't have fun in a serious CYOA. But this is a serious CYOA, just like UB, or AoD, or any of the other various stories on the Verse. And there are serious consequences, just like any CYOA. I've used this comparison before, but if there was a really obvious death flag or a choice with really bad consequences, you'd want to avoid it, right? You wouldn't just decide to pick it anyway, for fun. Why? Because you might kill off a character, right?

It's the same thing here, X. Just because Golurk is using a different format, doesn't mean it's not a real CYOA. There's a difference between having fun, and choosing an obviously bad idea. Well, I mean, unless you think Game Overs are fun.

And Emppy... Is Emppy. He doesn't participate in a lot of CYOAs, and he isn't the creator of one. He also kinda has a bad habit of prioritizing jokes above all else, except in maybe OZ or Nova. You didn't have to back his choice, you could have come up with something completely different.

Also, CDM, it's kinda inevitable we're going to get involved in what's happening. You should know that. What happened to your author's instincts? So, with that in mind, would you rather us waste time while the door burns and give Golurk a perfectly good chance to do something mean or would you rather we actually do something productive while we can? Paying attention to what's actually happening around us, and not goofing off, could very well save our asses.

Considering what happened last time we open the door, I'm not particularly interested in trying again.

one of those two things is something a rogue would do. I back not-Emmpy.

"...Jenkins, check the door in case there are anymore Reavers." You hear a female commander addressing one of probably several soldiers just as you open the door with an awkwardly loud creak.

"Found one ma'am!" A foot soldier, probably Jenkins, dressed in Imperial gear saluted the officer after pointing directly at you.

What do?

Ask what a reaver is. And also what Jenkins' first name is. Play dumb. Because we are dumb. Ignorant. About what reavers are. If there's one thing I know about imperials, it's that they're all perfectly reasonable, collected individuals.

But since they'll know who Neloth is, they might try to put the poor protagonist out of his misery, as a merciful deed.
