Forgive me for being a massive cynic but decades of being a gamer have left me a jaded husk... I certainly applaud the effort to bring this kind of narrative to a FPS game from it's RPG roots but I totally expect it to appear in a heavily neutered form. The usual results of these endeavours are binary differences in dialogue or quest availability. Still these things move forward with time and perhaps they will be able to do something that will actually push things forward. At the very least it will help to blur the boundaries between the genres still further. As much as I like the idea this is the same old stuff I’ve heard before year-in year-out.
