But I think all of these things can work if they are used intelligently in a non-cliched way. Naturally, lazy writing is always going to give a boring product.

It also matters whether they are a central driving point for plot. I especially thought of the orcs, and how he dismisses them. They are VERY effective tools for creating a feeling of suspense and danger while the important stuff is done elsewhere. If used right.

To be fair, number 4 is a good motive in itself; it's just been overused. Tim - 13/07/2010 09:08:49 AM 550 Views
