Roguelikes aren't designed with storytelling at their core. They're designed to place the player in tactical situations over and over (See: ROGUE). Anything else is extra.

i think of modern rougelikes as defiantly in your face...inyourfacely defiant?  "Here are the worst graphics possible and behind them is a game of such depth, imagination, creativity, and daring that you will love it despite or even for the worst graphics possible."

     Each is a slap across the face of the Wall Street driven, mass market, lowest common denominator model that has destroyed great game companies by buying them and then  sucking the life out of them in the name of corporate conformity and bottom-line-ism.

You can fool all of the people some of the time but you still suck.

My favorite experience (D&D-ish) was with a friend's young son.  I gave him 2d6 and started an adventure with "you walk in to a pub..."  i created, on the fly, opportunities for adventure, puzzles, combat...interesting choices.  No modules, no guide books(yay!), no absurd dice roling(saving rolls?  what the hell is a saving roll?).  Very fuzzy combat logic.  just a story unfolding based on what he chose to do in situations.  It worked out great.  Remember D&D is, at its best, just a fancy game of Let's Pretend.

The ad steered me away from this game. Sticking a pair of boobs on something doesn't make it better.


Works with people...

Sounds to me like the difference between a wargame and a strategy game.  A war game should be realistic.  A strategy game should be balanced.
