MidMission Cutscenes

Explanation:

Add mid mission cutscenes. Could either be used aka Deus-Ex when conversing with someone, or to indicate the result of pulling a lever.

Points to bear in mind:

Provides another level of interactivity. By showing a cutscene you can relate more to the player.

You can control whether the player sees the cutscene or not - unlike conversations - so as a designer you can more sure that the player has seen it.

Looses that sense of a voyeurism and acheivement the player has by hiding and watching the same sequence.

Interrupts play.

Will more than likely make the player feel like he or she is on a mission & they have to finish the job rather than being immersed in their own fantasy world & taking their time.

I meant to use a Bad Point icon, not a Good Point. Whoops.
