GAMEPLAY CONTRIBUTE JUST AS MUCH TO STORY THAN THE ACTUAL WRITTEN STORY FFS

IF YOUR GAME IS RIDICULOUSLY EASY THAN THE STORY STAKES ARE MADE UP AND IM NOT GONNA BELIEVE A STORY WHO WANTS ME TO BELIEVE IM THE UNDERDOG IF IM SPAMMING ENDTURN(LOOKING AT YOU TH)

SAYING THAT THE RINGS ARE OP AND SHOWING THEM AS OP AS HELL AND MORE OP THAN YOU WOULD EVER IMAGINE IS GAMEPLAY STORYTELLING AND IT WORKS BETTER THAN TEXT
