As a writer I've been flummoxed by several things over the years in videogames, the most notable of these was the ME3 ending fiasco. While that was a disappointment lets focus on the future in this thread, I want to write a single player RPG game of a Mass Effect caliber. To do this I need to know what gamers want, while I can't follow every single desire as a writer I can follow a theme and setting.

Explaining the options and how I will utilize poll results.

The first four options are setting options, the latter four are theme options. I will compare and contrast the most popular choices to arrive at the final setting, for example if the most popular choices were steampunk and magic by a wide margin I might come up with a setting where magic not steam has fueled the industrial revolution.

I must note that for me to consider the poll a viable representation of the gamer community that the number of pollsters must at least 300+ voters. A poll with only a few dozen voters is not a good representation by any stretch...

To be honest, given the size of the industry and its consumer base at this point taking any combination would probably see the project have a large fanbase if it was was both of at least decent quality and people where able to hear about it existing though some form of media, either conventional or social.

#1. You can only vote for one option per poll. So having two separate questions on your poll is not going to work...

#2. If you are expecting 300 votes, you haven't been paying attention to this place. The "Do you like crafting" thread has been on the site for a week now and has 135 votes as of this message. A much larger thread that has been there for over a week (The "Drought is over" thread on page 2) has 296 votes on it. To be brutally honest, there's no way your thread is going to garner the interest to survive that long (sorry to be the bearer of bad news).

So if that's what you're expecting, you're much better off in a bigger forum. To answer your question, I feel like modern magic books (like Dresdon Files) are not done enough so that would be my double vote.

No way to install a double poll and The Escapist is my only forum so you're on your own there :(

Good luck anyway!
