People who think D&D is an RPG are retarded. It's a Role Creation Game if you have to call it something, you don't play a role because then you'd be handed a script.

C&C is a meme. The idea that every RPG needs it has led us to games full of shallow choices that don't affect the plot in any way.

The point of a role isn't for the end result of the choice, but in being the character who makes the choice. It's very simple.

so what?
there are rpg games where the choices matter and others where they want a set narrative

its like /v/ complaining that "movie games" exist. not every game has to be 2 hardcore 4 u, or stick to your autistic narrow doctrine, if they did games would all be the same and itd get boring.

but if you want that then those games do exist for you so shut the fuck up already

These games are impossible to find. You can't know if the choice matters or not until the choices tell you what matters. Then it's best to just find the game you want. Just go find it.

>"RPG" stands for Choice Making Generator

A big problem I have with games is that the "Good" choice is better 90% of the time in the long run. Even if the choice is absolutely retarded.

Are their any games where picking the smart choices i.e. not being too trusting/naive, not believing in everyone etc. gets you the best ending/goodies?

Rarely unless the game completely eschews morality/ Dragon age Origins was 'decent' by Bioware standards because people didn't pay up unless you obligated them to, so it forced you to be more outright jew to get paid at all. Witcher games are also usually ok at this, mostly because it'll give you a lot of shitty people. so you side with who you think will actually pay up.

any game with harsher survival needs will usually award pragmatism though.

Holy shit i recognize this. Its from the Teletubbies flash that was on newgrounds. I think i saw it the first time i was on 5th or 6th grade. Like 15 years ago, behind door number one there is Police who battons the shit out of the red teletubbie. Behind door number 2 is some fat fucking bitch sitting on the teletubbie and door number 3 is the teletubbie fucking a goat.

Thanks for the memories nigga and fuck you fro making me feel so old
