How do you balance gameplay and story in your game development?

Balancing gameplay and story can be a tricky task, but it's important to remember that they should complement each other. Gameplay should drive the story forward and make it more engaging. One approach is to design the gameplay first and then build the story around it. It's also important to make sure that the story doesn't slow down the gameplay, and that players are able to fully immerse themselves in the game.
