Fixed Path or Anywhere

[Arcane]

I'm making a rpg, but I'm not really sure if I should make one path that the hero follows, or make a huge world in which the hero explores and collects items in random locations needed to open the last level's doors.

The second one would mean they could go anywhere they want, but the difficulty levels sometimes prevent that. And their mission is to find a few itmes which will be hidden and open a series of doors towards the ending.

The first one would be easier to do, but I really don't know which way to use.

I would actually prefer the first one, but the second one sounds good too. :banghead:

I recommend the first one.

You can do a storyline and quests where as with the second one, you could be sent to go to the hell and find the last part of the game.

Stick to the first one.

Good luck with your RPG

an idea, make the world get increasingly harder as you get farther from your starting location... that would be fine, or you can make terrain allow for only certain areas of travel... and use the doodad pathing blockers if you want a hero to stay on a certain path to another place... all ideas...good luck, rpg's are good... you should all be awaiting mine and dragons in a month or so...
