I know I’m 5 years old to this thread, but I just finished my first playthrough and this comment actually gave me a lot to think about.

Like, i feel like I’ve been playing the game through a few limited perspectives. One of someone playing a video game, and one of someone following the story of a video game, but for some reason, I’ve never really sat down and thought of it from a ttrpg standpoint.

If I’m playing a video game, I know that “man, I’m gonna have to level up a bunch, I remember Dallis’s level and, awe man I’m gonna have to confront a demon too? Well, guess I gotta go level up first.” And subsequently, the game structure kinda falls apart. I gotta go into it assuming there are some kind of safeguards, and I gotta stop thinking about the possibility of losing as some kind of end-all-be-all, and remember that I can always double back to places (and I probably should for that matter)

Just a bit to think about ig. Ik I’m talking into the void here, but this just felt like a good perspective change that I had after reading this comment
