+A '''character-driven campaign''' is a campaign in which characters play an important part in the development of plot and immersion, as opposed to the standard generic wingmen seen in the canon FreeSpace 2 campaigns. Notable examples include [[Transcend]] and [[Blue Planet]].

 ===Prerequisites===
-A good character-driven campaign often requires well-planned [[Making cutscenes (basic)|cutscenes]] and vast amounts of scripts. Some character-driven campaigns focus less heavily on tactical gameplay and more on complex FREDding (such as [[Transcend]] or [[Sync]]), while others, like [[Blue Planet]], feature tactically deep and complex mission scenarios. In general, character-driven campaigns require a great deal of work on the FRED level because of the sheer number of messages and events required.
