Diablo 3 Beta Test report

[ShadowHM]

I think Im done talking about this - I have just repeated the same stance every time -

You are taking something fun and needlessly injecting an ugly link to the specifics of real life, rather than keeping it genneral, as most other people easily could.

Maybe it is time you accepted that there are other viewpoints on fictional writing? Good fiction can accomplish many things at once.

The completeness of the backdrop to any form of fiction is important. As far as I can tell, Rhydd has merely outlined in detail what the backdrop will be for the action in his story. The quality of the story, and the fun of reading it, will be in how he manages his plots and characterizations after he gets the backdrop clear and consistant.

Why he does it can be important. But the 'fun' of reading it will be in the readability later. And any points he makes through his story are intended to be the sort that percolate for a bit after one finishes the story.

Think about Gulliver's Travels for bit....

Fun reading? Oh yes ! Agenda on the part of the author - Jonathon Swift? You bet. "my principal Design was to Inform,
and not to amuse thee" The Travels (IV:12)
