    Of course, research is all about Rock n' Roll and fame, that's why everyone does it ;)

    Yes! Once everything is completed and I've received the grades I'll either post a summary of the findings (if there are any) or post a link a journal article if the research is good enough to be published :)

    How greedy are you? Do you ever ask NPC's for more money after you complete a quest? Etc.

    For me, it's more of "I've gotten this far, I might as well go all the way" rather than getting my money's worth or if there's some kind of reward like a secret ending if you do all of the stuff. Though I do watch YouTube videos of secret endings etc if it gets too much.

    Thanks! In some cases, it might be that the difference in wording may be asking about a similar concept but a different aspect to it. A lot of the time questions with the same/ similar wording, or questions that have a directly opposing question are made so that you can tell if someone is...

    Thanks for the input! I also have it spread out across social media and some gaming discords, and it has spread a little from friends sending it to their gaming friends. Face to face conversations like those also introduces a different aspect that requires separate ethical approval.

    It's a pleasure, I've never really been a part of any forums but trying to gain more participants has introduced me to the enjoyable side of such communities :)

    Sometimes it isn't worth it and I give up, other times I'm just being stubborn even though it is no longer enjoyable lol.

    Yep, surveys with a lot of questions generally have similar questions or questions that are the opposite to a previous one to check that people aren't just clicking the same response every single time.

    MSc research study on gaming and luxury

    Done. Not sure how to like so thought I'd leave this here. Unfortunately I'm not much of a brand person though.

    No, I don't think it was, but my play style is to try and complete everything, including treasure maps and collectible items (the worst is the Batman Arkham Games Riddler Trophies imo).

    I wanted to reply earlier but apparently this message is marked as spam-like. Thanks for the insight! While the scale I used is more comprehensive than others that were available, unfortunately it can't measure every single aspect in gaming. Also I would have liked to randomise the questions but...

    My main memory of the thieves guild is realising one of the gems for the crown I had missed was supposed to be acquired during the Thalmor Embassy quest so I had to glitch my way back up a small cliff face to get back in.

    Haha, the timings were based on pre-tests I had some non-gamer friends do but thanks for taking the time to do it! I wasn't aware of 'Quantic Foundry' specifically, but I was aware of Nick Yee's research into motivations for video games and MMO's (which was part of the inspiration for my research).

    If there is an option to try and get more money before completing the quest I'll try that, but if I've agreed a price and finished it I'll go with what was agreed. If its a Bethesda game I'll generally steal as many items as I can that are worthwhile (so no cups and plates for me).
