A continuation of prompts from End Game Viable - imagine if I only answered one of these a day! :P
What makes a game a “survival” game?
I'd say death mitigation, and not the type where you have to dodge out of "red circles" though that's possible too. More along the lines of, if your character stands still in a safe spot, with no hostiles of any kind around, they are still constantly dying. Something has to force the players to take action to survive, and idleness equals death.
How many different games can you comfortably play on a daily or weekly basis? What happens if you play too many?
Usually two at most. That way I still remember the story / controls / what I was doing or planning to do without requiring a "retraining" session. If I try for more, one just naturally gets pushed to the "play it later" section of my brain.
Do you prefer a silent protagonist or a voiced protagonist in your games?
I don't mind a silent protagonist but I always prefer a well voiced one. The key word is "well". If the protagonist is going to sound like a douche bag or woodenly reading lines, then it's better if they were silent to begin with. :P
I have a theory that most bloggers play healers or tanks in their groups, and a significant number of them are or were guild leaders.
While I was one of the founding members of my guild, I'm not the guild leader. We are both and have always been DPS classes though he's experimenting with tanking now (8 years in, lol).
