Really?

"This trope obviously doesn't apply for games that make heavy use of a Karma Meter, such as the Ogre Battle series, or most western RP Gs. In those games, your decisions can and will direct the plot, albeit usually on a pre-programmed branch. "

Except the two are not acctually mutally exclusive. There are many instances of type 3 "Examples where there is no "wrong" answer available to choose" in Bioware games ("I understood that" vs. "I know that language" for example).

First example listed for Fake Longevity.

"Some games make you kill hundreds of the same Mooks over and over again. This is called grinding. "

Which is exactly what was put on the Kot OR page as an example.

Aren't discussion pages for this sort of debate? IIRC, edit banned tropers can still use them.

This is not the Discussion page, deuxhero. I lifted your ban only if you agree to play nice with others on your examples.
