What do you like or hate in a custom story?

[physcostealth]

I really like a story that's unique and... well... good. Like the author had really put a lot of time into it. I think the best example of this is Key to Freedom. The author took so many ideas and twisted them around to make them his own

What I've found with most custom stories is they don't contain the golden three. Let me go into that:

The Golden Three
-Story
-Scenery
-Separation from other stories

Or the triple S's... yeah that last one was hard to relate with uniqueness. Just imagine a bubble map. There's either story and scenery, story and separation, or separation and scenery. I guess the golden three is just something only the original game can conquer.
