I admit that I tend to be a Backseat Player. I have a very plot-conscious way of playing these games. For example I collect nothing until it makes the most sense to do so. That's one reason I'm looking forward to Tex's return as much as I am. I can't wait to experience a 1st time play-through with no preconceived notions of how it should be done.

I'm not exactly sure what the question is asking because of the grammar, but I'm saying no. If its not nailed down pick it up. However sometimes I will try to complete a game in the minimum steps possible.

My English-speaking acumen drops without sleep and I've been up making mini posters for almost 24 hours. I went back and made it nicer good for finer readings. Okay, that time it was on purpose.

"Yes, I want them to have the best playthrough possible.
No, I let them do it however they want.
Sometimes"

I'm talking about why the word them is being used in the above poll choices. That seems to imply that people play adventure games in groups, which I don't think is common, but maybe you're a magnet. 99.9% of the time I play adventure games by myself.

Ah, I see where I mixed you up. And, yes, I often play this series with one or more persons because I love to see other people enjoying what I do. But I tend to be a backseat player when I do. My favorite phrase is "it might be better if you..."
