The Dilemma

We were asked to work in groups to create a Powerpoint Presentation. On this presentation we had to come up with a Dilemma and then have 3 choices with each of their scenarios. Our Dilemma was a car accident. 
Our 3 choices were either: 

•  Pretend it never happened and drive off 
• Write your details down so they can contact your insurance 
• Knock on the owners door but when there is no reply just forget about it

The first scenario results in a huge feeling of guilt but it is too late to come forward. In the second scenario, you admit fault and leave details even though your insurance will go up a considerable amount. The neighbours are glad you admitted to it and agree to settle the matter privately. In the third scenario, the driver tries to admit blame but when there is no answer they decide to just forget it happened which led to a bit of guilt, but at least they tried! 

So what has The Dilemma got to do with gaming?
In this presentation, we created a scenario and gave 3 possibilities that the person could pick which all led to a different situation. This is just like in games. When a character comes across a situation in a game they are presented with different opportunities, and these opportunities all lead to a different outcome. For example, in GTA (Grand Theft Auto) if the player comes across another person in the street he has the opportunity to ignore them, or attack them and take their money. If they leave them alone they can carry on the game without any problems. If they rob them they can have extra money to buy more things and ultimately do better in the game. However, they may also get arrested which leads to a trip to the police station where you lose all your money and weapons which makes you even more worse off.
