I too have my concerns about a plot-driven device. If you follow just one plot then you’re not really in an interactive story anymore, you’re on rails … such as Uncharted. How could you possibly visualize all the possible plots? It’s like looking at an infinite 4 dimensional hypercube. You could constrain the fourth dimension … isolating your domain to a three dimensional cube within one relative time epoch. Even then you are left with an infinite number of paths traversing the cube; each path representing a unique plot. How could you possibly focus only on the interesting or entertaining plot lines without once again putting yourself on rails?
