They are "overused", in which I can agree a bit. In fact, I actually created a custom story that came out like 2 months ago, but during the development of it, the story wasn't "overused". However, when days passed by, more and more stories kept coming out and the same "waking up and not remembering" types of stuff kept coming. Unfortunately, the time when it became overused is when I was about to release my custom story (pretty much around this year, I'd say maybe around March and so on is when people noticed it started getting over used) so mine got the "hammer" you could say. I mean, there wasn't anybody criticizing that my story was an overused one, but I already knew it was. I didn't want to abandon it, ether.
So moral of the story is: Be careful when making a "waking up and not remembering" type of story. Maybe you can use the same story type, except make it a bit more "interesting" and "unique/different" like letting us, the Players, play a part where it shows how he started not remembering anything, THEN get to the real story.
Yeah, I'll spend most of the weekend trying to make up a good story. An intro, like you said, was one of my biggest ideas. I've already got a good twist in the end that could be used perfectly with the story, but I don't wanna spoil it here. I think it could turn out well, if not almost perfect!
Thanks though for being positive and trying to help, finding people like you guys is like finding a needle in an... ocean. The internet is so weird these days.
EDIT: Between, has anyone tried the map? I'd like to know if my map layouts works well. Is it too linear, big, etc? Thanks in advance.
