Is coming up with various interpretations of your characters' actions a central part of the game for you, or is your focus somewhere else entirely?
Good question. I think maybe yes? When we talk about the game afterwards, a lot of what we talk about is discussing interpretations of the characters' actions, motivations, and so on. Kind of like when you're talking about a TV show you like, and you're like "Jason's just being an irresponsible idiot!" and someone else is like "No! He cares about his sister and he's doing what he thinks is the right thing."
There's other stuff as well, but yeah, that's a big thing for me.
I think it'd be a mistake to say that everyone I play with is the same way though. I've had conversations with some people about this, and I think there are varying degrees, like, they'll "know" some things about their characters but not others, or sometimes know or sometimes not.
