>>2293598For some (probably very important) reason there are very few games and mods that put the player in the dominant role, compared to games and mods that let player's character get molested.
I wonder why players seem to be more interested in the latter. Could it be that subconsciously rooting for the character one controls forms a stronger emotional connection with narrative? Maybe they don't want to be mean to a likable character, but observing the abuse is still cool with them? Maybe feeling of not having total control and some kind of suspense are more intriguing?
Making a game about dominant character is probably easier, but there are fewer of them it seems.
