Game of the Year: A Naruto Quest

[X] Yes. You'll play the Tutorial and try to get your feet under you.

I hope you don't mind me being a bit presumptuous but how many are voting "no" just to avoid fandom cliches? I feel that getting through a tutorial it's never a bad thing.

I think it's less about the quality, because it's Ves. I think it's more about the nature of quests to be impermanent, so with an experienced QM, we can risk playing a little less conservative than normal.

Combining that with site wide impatience, stigma against childhood play in general, and a genre which is designed around player death gives you a recipe for a group that might feel it's worthwhile to leap before looking just this once.

Not so much to avoid cliche as much to avoid a common pitfall in quests, where new quests die or become boring slogs after an extended childhood section.

Basically, childhood is almost always boring in fics that are about fighting and shit- both to read and to write.
 
[X] No. You'll skip the tutorial and go right to the good part.

It's rare that childhood sequences pull their weight narratively.
 
Here's hoping that the childhood isn't a complete slough to get through. Don't want to be caught up in our infant years, especially if they are as narratively boring as most fics are.
 
Childhood, whether it is rushed or taken slowly is nearly always a bore. No doubt Ves could make it interesting, but if I'm offered to chance to skip it I'm going to grab onto the chance with both hands.

Seems to me that the writing is on the wall, along with many other things which shall not be named. We gonna play the tutorial! Hopefully we won't have to get the whinnies back in the corral, hugs to anyone that understands the reference.
