[QUOTE="airwalkrr, post: 5156191, member: 12460"] It depends on how it is done. I don't like books with lots of different plots going on that don't really have much to do with each other. Movies and TV shows are a little easier for me to keep track of because I have a good memory for faces. But I still get lost and sometimes have to re-watch parts because I failed to understand what was going on, especially when the camera switches over to a different sub-plot without any warning. This game was a lot like that when I last kept track of it. It was especially difficulty when a player posted without reminding me the name of his/her character. I need more than colored text to remind me which storyline I am supposed to be following with each new post. Anyway, for that reason, I don't watch TV unless I recorded it on DVR. In fact, I had stopped watching television altogether up until DVRs became commonplace. That way I could rewind when I needed to because I had trouble understanding what was going on. I just really have difficulty keeping track of multiple story lines. Like I said, my mind doesn't work that way. And I tried just keeping track of my own character, but it seemed like Voda was expecting us to read what was going on with the other characters since he said the plot was character driven. To me, that suggested we were supposed to be paying attention to all the sub-plots and find an excuse to meet up. That's all well and good. I won't say that's the wrong way to do things, but it's more trouble than it is worth for me. I wasn't having fun, and if you aren't having fun playing a game, maybe that game is not for you. I'll see what Voda says. [/QUOTE]
