Lately I've been thinking about having random choices in my VN more, as no one is fully in control of things or other people.
How can one have more likely and less likely random choices? And, can one have the likelihood of random choices increase/decrease depending on other things that happen in the game? Also, can random choices be removed?
Say there was a 50% chance for Ed to go to the cafe, and a 30% chance of him going to the park, and a 20% chance of him visiting grandma, and Ed ends up going to the cafe. The rest of the game proceeds going in that direction.
Then, after playing through the game, the player starts a new game and- thanks to persistent data(?)- it remembers that the cafe was chosen last time and removes that as an option. Now, Ed only has a chance of going to the park or visiting grandma.
Then, after playing through the game three times, none of the choices would be a possibility anymore, so instead of making a random choice, the player can choose anything they want via a menu, with no chance involved.
I'm sorry for coming out of nowhere and dumping so many questions on you... but I appreciate your help, and thank you.
