### Describe the Issue A [forum user](https://forum.freecodecamp.org/t/improv…ement-suggestion-for-rpg-step-143/664091) brought up a good point, that we don't really explain why we are making the following changes even the game is technically complete. Right now we just say the following: ```md Your game could be complete now, but you can also make it more interesting. ``` Then we spend the next few steps telling them to write some code. But they don't know why they are writing the code and how these changes will enhance the game. So we should add a sentence or two explaining the nature of these changes so they can better understand why we didn't just end the game right here. Otherwise, it just feels like they are just writing code without understanding why and how it affects the game in the end. Looking for suggestions on how to update the wording ### Affected Page https://www.freecodecamp.org/learn/javascript-algorithms-and-data-structures-v8/learn-basic-javascript-by-building-a-role-playing-game/step-143 ### Your code see explanation above ### Expected behavior see explanation above ### Screenshots _No response_ ### System - Device: [e.g. iPhone 6, Laptop] - OS: [e.g. iOS 14, Windows 10, Ubuntu 20.04] - Browser: [e.g. Chrome, Safari] - Version: [e.g. 22] ### Additional context _No response_
