So, then you're positing that they're not actually using him in a supervisory role at all?

I just outlined a supervisor role, only overseeing and stepping in when necessary, not having any significant or large influence on the final outcome of the project

I agree, to an extent; I think he'll oversee and step in when it looks like the game is moving too far from what he established, but he's not going to be looking at every minute detail. His job should be to oversee the overall tone of the game, and the smoothness of the mechanics; if he's not, it's because someone doesn't understand a supervisor's role, or it's a figurehead position. I don't think either of those are true.

I don't really think taking out griefing would be a particularly bad idea. I love DkS and I've put a ton of time into it, but when I'm low level I don't want to be invaded by someone using a lightning claymore +5 who will kill me in 1 hit through my shield. DkS and DeS were both very fair games in terms of PvE, but griefing is not fair and shouldn't be in any game

Because Dark Souls is the optimum of a game for me. It the exact opposite of all the crappy COD and Assassins Creed ( I like the first game) ****.

Just the opposite of mainstream and still better.

I think even if they make it more story based the level of customization will still be there. I could see it being like dragons dogma and still work. Having a defined laid out storyline, but having a lot of room to explore and customize your character. I know the idea of the story being more focused turns a lot of people off but I wouldnt mind it.
