Method actors do this and it's something you can learn and improve.We're also not dealing with reality in these games. We're dealing with fiction. And while said fiction may have some basis in what one might expect in the real world to happen, the fiction is highly mutable and completely under our control. It is realistic that Henry VIII figures out how to use the smartwatch by accident. It is also realistic that he doesn't. Whichever one serves our purposes in the game at the moment it comes up is the one we choose.</blockquote>
