You know, RTS with RPG elements was a really good format for storytelling

Warcraft 3 is the greatest game of all time. But i do not think Arthas story would work as good if it was like a basic action-rpg with one protagonist.

RTS with RPG elements allows devs to switch between personal stories and global conflicts. Jump between characters and build whole world in a meantime.

And it’s extremely disappointing of our industry that almost no one uses RTS for storytelling. Only example that comes to my mind of recent games of this type are the Spellforce 3+addons (it’s really that good, even troll standalone was great).

I miss playing RTS games. I played SC, WC, CnC and a few others in beta release.

I think it gives devs greater creative choice and flesh out dynamics with less universe altering decisions and being costly.

Narratives for SP games like Morrowind will always be better because I can truly experience all the content without restrictions
