Poll Question 003 - Which path would you choose Indoors or Outdoors?
Introduction
You reach a point in a game where you have to choose between two paths. The paths do not cross and there is no way to replay either path. Perhaps the game is a Single Player Online game, meaning you cannot just load from a save point.
The Choice Is Clear:
Path One: Through the secret military base, containing strange experiments and cool weapons. Plenty of action and lots of retracing your steps to find routes that allow you to exit into the canyon. There are no vehicles for you to use and there are NO outdoor sections.
Path Two: Over and around the military base. Plenty of coastline vistas, with drivable vehicles and airborne enemies. There is no action inside and the gameplay is all about finding the vehicles and using them to best effect. This path features plenty of helicopters and rocket launchers.

Player Choices
On a related note, setting this question made me think about how a game designer could control the effects of a choice made. You can read more about it here:

Results
Well, the results are in and it proved to be the closet poll yet.
Votes: 65
Indoors: 51%
Outdoors: 49%
I wonder whether the results would have been the same before Half-Life 2 was released?
