A way Destiny excites me

Lighting and shadows can be interactive. See the phrase: playing with shadows. You don't need to 'control the response' to have an effect on the result of the system. Having a dynamic shadow for the player character is common in Halo. People can affect how that shadow looks and where it is cast, by their control inputs.

The shadow is the result of someone else programming certain parameters. Those rules are out of your control. No offense, but you're stretching the definition of interactivity to a ridiculous point. Someone's going to mention Heisenberg soon, and that's how we'll know the horse is so dead, the maggots have gotten bored.

Having written a short book on this issue by now, I'm ready to move on.
