Yeah, that's exactly the point.
Right from the beginning, I knew this scenario would probably end up with the characters simply trying to get out by teleporting, even knowing the risks.
Now, what I definitely want to increase within the game is YOUR influence on it. One of the main beefs I personally had with GW was that it was railroady as hell.
So, after purposely writing a scenario that was EXACTLY like the GW adventures (Chapter I - cryptic intro, epic action, some NPC out of my arse solving the situation for you in the end), and the real introduction (Chapter II), we're now approaching the turning point of this Episode: You come into control, at least partly.
-Of course, this kind of control is an illusion, since the plot will probably follow you wherever you go, but I did want to get away from the idea of writing "a novel", and have you decide part of the outcome as well. :wink:
