You're 12. Prove me wrong.

- I’m not here to prove you wrong; you’re right from several standpoints.

Premise is more important than all all those things because you don't have an adventure without a good one.

Story itself doesn't matter, it's the freedom to ignore the story that matters.

It is unfortunate that all this "storytelling" trend filled with shitty RPG romances and near endless character dialogues has taken over the industry.
The atmosphere, tactical and engaging combat, minimal and clever story delivered through lines of text on the screen, those are gone...

Story matters insofar as the less intrusive it is, the better.
As long as they don't get in the way.

"Story" is the least important part of any good cRPG.

"Story" is a false category unless the game decides to have one. A lot of games feature loose narrative elements, but no "story". We should judge games by what they try to do, not predetermined things.

Yeah, I just don't buy it. Code'x top RPGs always turn out to be storyfag RPGs.
I think this recent resentment toward storyfag RPGs is caused by the simple fact that bad writers and woketards have realized how much RPG fans care about stories, so they include their shitty opinions and ideologies as much as possible in RPGs. So people try to downplay the importance of stories to take that power and control away from them.

People always say stuff like this without taking into account that they're getting dumber with age.
