So before I put in the inordinate time it’s going to take to crack the story engine theory, I thought that it would really nice if I could find the answer here. I am aware that going by the numbers defeats the purpose and that the engine leaves off at a certain point, but I just want to know. The theory is so frickin’ fascinating and beautiful that I want to know more. To get to the point, I would like to know the “order” of the variations/sequences similar to how the story engine give the order for the class/act progression. Thanks! P.S. If my question is incoherent in any way I would more than glad to clarify.
