If a game supplies exploration then i expect it to reward me for looking around. Sometimes the rewards are as simple as a an extra bit of detail to the story and sometimes is could be something like helping some poor wilderbeast who''s found its way into a hunters trap. When i say rewarding i really mean that there has to be something there worth discovering. I guess this is why i love creativity so much in games. Its fun finding things that i would never have thought of in a million years.

I love Game Design and it loves me back.

Our Goal is "Fun"!

Exploration is fun when you can find something you have never seen before. If there''s 3 types of items in a game, there''s no incentive to explore just to find more of these same items. It''s quite the same experience as with the tech tree in a strategy game when you are playing it for the first time.

I would also use Deus Ex as an example.
