Should the scores be hidden?

    I created this thread to post a poll, but feel free to use it for feedback too.

    There's something bothering me about my story. I can't decide wether or not I should let the readers playing the game see their scores with every deadly sin. I'm afraid knowing how much each option changes your character could influence your choices too much, but on the other hand, maybe some of you wants to kee a track. It occured to me that the readers may be better suited for this choice than the writer is, so I decided to ask you directly.

    Personally, I like seeing the scores. I'm pretty sure that my choices will keep lust in the lead, but it's interesting to see what other scores are changed by each choice (like when I try to keep my sister close and it bumps greed as well as lust). Plus for replay value, it'll make going down alternate paths just a bit easier if we can see which score has the most points.

    As far as the scores influencing the reader, I have a feeling a lot of people read through it like I do. With back tracking and then picking the best outcome to match our tastes. Seeing the score, or not, probably won't change this behavior.

    Awesome story, by the way. I look forward to reading more of it.

    Ok, I get your point and since in almost a week nobody decided to stand for the opposite side, I think it will stay the way it is.
    And actually, keeping your sisters close only grant you lust if Sam already lusted for Cat, unless I did something wrong with the scores or the links. Anyway, some chapters will end up with no choice giving you lust, but almost every choice, even innocent or altruistic, will reinforce at least a sin. If one path seems safer than any other, it probably make you slothful :D

    Thank you! It's always nice to have feedbacks ^^
    I'm currently buzy with other things and the next chapters don't inspire me so much since it's mostly the same thing with a few edits, but I hope I will be able to continue the main story soon.
