Scenario missions will add more direction to one of the game’s present encounter types while retaining their emergent nature.[1][2]
Game director Laurence Oldham said “Previously it was very sandboxy.” “You could roleplay it and you could say, ‘This is what I did’. We’re saying, ‘You don’t need to roleplay as much now’. It’s giving direction, making clear what your choices are, and also the consequences of the choices for the background simulation.”[2]
