Ooh, ooh, you mean me! The guy who asked what we're talking about when we're talking about story, because it's being used wishy-washily!
I asked the OED, but he said "
plot." Or "
c. Succession of incidents, ‘plot’ (of a novel, poem, or drama).
I asked the Codex, but he said "herpaderp."
And then you showed up and contributed nothing!
EDIT: 'Scuse me, I figure I ought to add 'a' and 'b' if I'm going to be a jackass:
a. A narrative of real or, more usually, fictitious events, designed for the entertainment of the hearer or reader; a series of traditional or imaginary incidents forming the matter of such a narrative; a tale.
b. In generalized sense: Traditional, poetic, or romantic legend or history.
I'm discounting a., because we're talking about a game, not a yarn. And b. is pretty much out of the question, yeah?
Feel free to say something. Or just to read the thread,
