Obviously folks have different opinions on the ideal direction, thats always going to be the case but its also irrelevant as far as Im concerned.
Just having a clear direction would be better than whats going on right now and therefore finding that direction should be the focus - not suggesting a million features and getting lost in the weeds.

You can add that ofc.


Core gameplay loop tho is kill shit, grab loot, get stronger, kill stronger monsters.
Thats it.


If you mess with that, you dont have an ARPG anymore and that core loop is purely action. Nothing else.


Gotta be careful to not alienate the core audience and that wont be players enjoying clicking multiple choice dialogues or anything like that.
Its simply not part of the core experience.


So if you add it, its either pointless fluff or its gonna piss off the core audience, if its mandatory.
Which begs the question: Why even bother?

I would argue mostly players would love to find hidden secret rooms inside dungeons, with mounds of gold and chests. Who doesn't want that? It's not pointless fluff, but part of the core experience as well.

The fact that most players skip optional quests entirely

Also players do filter out 99% of the loot a.

Not dialogue needed, only a noticeable spot in rocks and booooommmm! Just like Zelda game. Firing with weapon should be enough to break hidden door. No need of dynamite.
