Granted, the version of the game I was talking about there was shot down to make room for something much much better, which retained a massive amount of player choice and a consequence/reward system to go along with player choices. Sometimes things work out for the best. Exactly, and that’s where player choice comes in.

I'll tend to choose the stealth. It's more interesting and unusual. Guns Blazing has just become... cliched now in games. My design philosophy would be "It's your game. Play it your way", so giving options is good in my opinion. In a game, if I’m given the choice between a stealthy non-violent route and a guns blazing. I’ll tend to choose the stealth.

That was pretty epic.

One of my all time favorite runs through a game was my run through Fallout 1 where I never entered combat even once, and beat the game that way. Good times. I hope you succeed.
