I don't see that. Riven wasn't at its core a series of events, didn't pose any real risks, and certainly wasn't a strategy or simulation game. And to AFGNCAAP I'd point out that it could still have been very entertaining indeed even
without its backstory. And I might seem to agree with Simo in that I think Riven would have been even
more effective without the conflict and resolution added on top, but only because I do not agree that Riven is primarily telling a story.
