Castle Paradox

[Rya.Reisender]

You could at least answer the questions, though.

I bet there's a certain rule to it. Like in "Paper Scissor Rock" you can also learn to determine what the other player will take to a high percentage.

Like Newbie mentioned, I would think that it highly depends on the goal and type of the player.

If it's the casual dungeoneer, he'll try to be taking the straightforward paths, ignoring turns.

If it's the experienced dungeoneer, he'll be taking every turn, because he knows that straightforward paths always lead to dead ends.

If it's the treasure-hunting dungeoneer, he'll just end up exploring the whole dungeon.

Personally, I attribute LEFT and PATH to treasure while I attribute RIGHT and STAIRS to dungeon progression.
This might be due to my thinking that most dungeons are created from left to right.

I tend to take, what I believe to be, the treasure path before taking the exit path because I always fear that the treasure path might be closed off if I take the exit path while the exit path will always be there if I take the treasure path.

Also, if you can't figure out a player's dungeoning mindset, set one up for him.

I also always try to find all treasures before exiting the dungeon.

Yeah but it's still tricky, if you just alternate the player will notice that too.
