RE: What do you like or hate in a custom story?

Not going to spend too much time bashing jumpscare stories or beginner ones, because I think this has been done way enough already.

What I hate :
1) Boring mapping. I don't really care about the quality of the overall mapping, to be honest. But when people didn't bother making at least ONE environment that wasn't in the original game, I am very disappointed most of the time. Or more importantly, when you enter a room and you can't say that you haven't seen this before.

2) Obvious scares. I hate to think "hey this is where a scare is gonna happen" and being right.

3) Unrealistic mapping. Sweet Jesus how many mods lack common sense in their mapping. No bathrooms, no kitchens, no gardens, no connection between levels/floors, illogical lighting coming from different angles, and overall all the incoherent lamp placement/furniture placement.

I appreciate :
1) ORIGINALITY. ALL THE WAY.
2) Creativity. Whether it's an original use of an entity, a big map with a lot of buildings, a new scare...

Basically I like anything that shows the creator spent time and attention in the mod.

I kind of feel a bit slightly just a little like the old amnesia cliche story was "you wake up and must get out". Now it feels more like "you wake up in a mansion and need to find out what happened". I mean seriously u.u"...

God I need A Coward's Debt.

TL;DR : I feel like the overall quality of mods has raised and I'm super happy about it : D. I kind of feel like we get a lot of " very dark complicated and twisted stories of people randomly waking up in a mansion *cough cough Mandus cough cough*"
