Plot Twist: Mountain or Stronghold? (Daniel 10:12-21)
0Left or right? Up or down? Stomp on their head, jump over them, or shoot them with a fireball? For years video games had incredibly simple and almost binary options when it came to choosing how we lived out our virtual adventures. Even games that were hailed as landmark titles for their depth of options were still a linear progression system that was cleverly buried in a “pseudo” open world… take the original classic Legend of Zelda for example. Sure, we could make rudimentary choices such as in what order we would like to march through each area and how you would like to spend your currency, but regardless of what choices you made it was inevitable that you would still have to face Ganon, defeat him, and save the day.
The status quo of following the pre-determined story to it’s logical conclusion was a pretty standard arrangement… until a renaissance of choice happened that changed everything. And while it certainly was not the FIRST game to leverage the player’s choice as it’s chief selling tool, Fable certainly kicked open the doors in a dramatic fashion and we have not looked back since. Join us as we take a deeper dive into this as we uncover a dark truth about mountains that aren't always what they seem in the final chapter of our series "When the Mountain Doesn't Move"!
