Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

Pacing. One example:
In GTA Vice City, the first mission was "drive to that place". The second mission was "beat up that fat guy". The third mission was "smash those parked cars with a hammer".
In GTA 5, the tutorial was a bank heist with explosives, automatic weapons, hostages, a shootout with cops, a car chase, and a betrayal by part of your gang. That's enough story and action for the first 3 acts IMO.
Same about Morrowind vs. the newer Elder Scrolls. In Morrowind, the main quest character literally told you "here, take 200 gold and explore the world. Join a guild, or find some freelancer work." Vs. Oblivion, where a city is literally under siege and you MUST go there (ideally right now) to save it.
You have to save the city! But no rush, just show up whenever you feel like it, it'll all be there waiting for you.
