A good example is Psychonauts, where you can learn all about each characters back story, while little dynamic stories happen around you. For instance, you could watch Elka seduce JT in the beginning, who dumps his friend Chops part way through, only to have Elka run into the arms of Nils and leave JT and Chops to pick up the pieces at the end. They don't add anything to the main story, but they add immensely to my enjoyment.

You may not speak for a subgroup of Adventurers, but if you wish you may consider yourself something of a spokeswoman for this Adventurer. :-P Also, to answer your last question: Yes, always "new" to someone until done too much or too poorly and then "old" to everyone and their mother. That is a sort of Tao of the Internet era... Well said. You may not speak for a subgroup of Adventurers, but if you wish you may consider yourself something of a spokeswoman for this Adventurer.
