Only a Story, Really?

Story has been with us since long. Even though there are no track record when the story first emerged, some people speculated that story has history older than the cave painting. We grow and live hearing a story, yet one question remains. Why we’re not bored with it? Why we always crave from story even though we’re already at modern civilization?

Archetype in Video Game

Same as the other medias, such as movie and novel,  archetype usually used in video  game as a guide to create an interesting character. However, just like what I wrote in my recent post (http://questandquestion.blogspot.com/2014/06/only-story-really.html ),  archetype does not only show a different function of character in the story, but also a part of the audience  mind. So, the question is, how we create a game that emphasize on these different part of our mind, the archetype? Is by creating a character with a certain archetype as his/her personality enough?
