i'm not entirely sure where IF devs got the impression they needed character stats (cog? rpgs?), but it's A Thing and i wish devs would question it more as a concept.
like, do personality or ability stats actually matter for characterization or the story i'm trying to tell with the player? if they do, how? if i am keeping track of stats, do i really need to share that metric with the player or does it work better for the story & player immersion to keep it hidden?
shit like that.
#anyway big team hidden stats#i want people to pick what feels right for their character in the moment and i don't want them to 'game' choices with stats#i hint about character strengths/weaknesses in prose (as in something the MC would know and think about their own skills/experience)#and there will always be a chance to succeed regardless of skill#(always a chance to fail too! shit sometimes happens.)#resIF#devs beware.txt
