I know you've all seen some of my classmates threads here (and may be a little tired of answering!) but I would appreciate some feedback of my own.
I am currently studying games development at university and undertaking a major project for this year. As part of this project I am required to gather statistical information to help me fine tune my game concept.
Please feel free to complete the survey below.
Thanks,

Age: D
Gender: Male
Origin: {0, 0, 0} err.. I mean Australia.
Favorite Genre: Action Adventure
Story Preference: Non-Linear (but few people have ever done this well)
Preferred Gender of Protagonist: Female (can't empathise with huge-no-neck angry beefcake space marines, yes gears of war... I mean you)
Preferred Ending: Happy (sad endings are awesome but very rarely have been pulled off well)
Moral Choice or Moral Meaning: I'd go with moral meaning, you give someone the moral choice card and you get "you can be good or evil! Yay!" as a feature. That said I want to see moral choices done well, but I'm more likley to enjoy a game without feeling typecast as an angel or demon.
Realistic or Not: Unrealistic (we have enough reality around us, I want to play something new)
