[QUOTE="airwalkrr, post: 5159025, member: 12460"] After having a look at where the game is now, I've decided there is only one way I can do this. I'll just have to pay attention to Waller's part and Waller's part only. It's too much effort to keep scrolling up and down to try to pay attention to one story at a time. Sorry, but it didn't work before and I don't think it will work now. I'll just play this like a solo campaign until I somehow meet up with the rest of the group. Voda, whenever you post a brief recap of what has happened to Waller I'll resume playing. We could even pick up where we left off if you like. Last I remember Waller was headed into a secret passage beneath the warehouse and he was trying to communicate with someone on the other side. On another note, I know a lot about history. I majored in History in college. I also know a lot about the world of the 1930s since it was part of my principal focus in my history studies and I read a lot about the era on my own. I realize you are trying to re-write history, and not just by making the period more fantastic. But while I understand that, it is difficult for me to bring myself completely out of the world I know, especially when there are so many similarities to an exciting and tragic period of history that I know and love. So I hope you understand if I play Waller as a historic character. It's much easier for me to put myself in a complete fantasy world with unicorns and wizards where I have no biases than it is for me to put myself in a familiar yet slightly different world and imagine how a character should react. For example, I have no conceptual basis for thinking of Hitler as anything else than pure evil incarnate and would derive no satisfaction from playing a character who was either duped by his charisma or willingly took part in his machinations. So Waller will have nothing to do with him or the Nazi party, even if coerced. Were he actually around in that period, I have no doubt that he would not have survived the many purges of the SS. He's the type of man who is willing to die for his principles. So hopefully Waller's eventual meeting with the rest of the group is not predicated on any kind of cooperation with them or acceptance of their help. I'd rather he find his own way. [/QUOTE]
