- muzani 9y agoYeah there are a lot of sandboxes that generate gameplay, but few generate an actual plot. Rimworld seems to be the closest thing to that but I think they focus too much on trying to build drama. When I see the same thing, I think a lot of better stories can emerge - a lifetime bond between comrades, a romance between a prisoner and the nurse who comes to heal him, rivalries between factions, a 500 year old cyborg who questions her humanity. So many stories can emerge.
