I forgot to mention I will be changing the rules a little bit... Well, I will be changing them a little bit more.
I have assigned the 'warrior' a personality. And at times options will appear that will conflict with his personality. These might seem perfectly rational or even the famous 'right' choice, however we all know making choices that go against our personality is a really hard thing, and if we do it too much we might begin to doubt ourselves... Eventually it can even lead to selfloathing.
As you can see, a conflicting choice will have the chance to be a very bad one. So it is important that you also read the personality to avoid any problems of that kind.
The reason for this is simple enough. I have found that my previous characters were somewhere between bland and 'perfect'. Sure the Admiral had real issues with paranoia and schizophrenia, but he was good at heart and in general a nice person... He didn't act out, he didn't have flaws, he didn't have redeeming traits. He (and 'Manstein' for that matter) never really had problems, or faced choices that were hard on the soul.
Bah, it is hard to explain. But their cleanness never left any options for disaster.
Of course, should a conflicting choice be made, the character will do his best to act it out, he will have a reason to do it, and he will try to convince himself. But he can never change his own personality.
Don't fear however, that I am funneling your down a beaten path, these choices will not be there all too often. They will come to add some spice... We all know how disasters in these stories make people fret and jump about... Looking for blame, soulsearching ect. And challenges are more fun for all parts I think.![]()
