Frustrated Question on Morality and denied characater concepts in Dresden RPG
skakid:
I guess the question becomes, will NPC types have a power level associated with them? If so that might allow a fairly easy homegrown campaign to do some kind of "reverse" scenario where you're red court vampires working against wizards. That could be a fun campaign, high powered, but fun never the less.
iago:
NPCs are going to have a refresh cost associated with their stunts & powers -- which is a pretty good, if rough, barometer of power.

That's how I took it too. And I would submit that only a quality RPG can be loved so dearly to have house rules made for it. ;)
And I am in full geek-mode over what I've read so far here.
Telum Voltas:
Playing a character who HAS to give in to their Compels could make for interesting roleplay as well. How far out of your way will your Sidhe warrior go out of his way to avoid being asked something thrice? Or what if your White Court vampire has sworn to avoid feeding on a member of the Catholic Clergy, but he's just fought a devastating battle to save a classroom full of catholic schoolchildren? Will you then break the vow and feed on the Sister responsible for them, or will you sate your hunger on an innocent child? Or would you find some other way to feed, while still obeying your compulsion not to feed on a nun?
It's not the style of game for everyone, and it's sure to garner cries of "toot toot, railroad!" from some, but it provides a challenge that some people would find even more fun than free will.

I imagine that those people would be in the minority. Most of the folks I've played with haven't liked being absolutely forced to do something without an option.
