Character Arcs: Why Traditional Storytelling Breaks in Games

A look at why traditional character arcs from films; positive (Max Fisher at Rushmore stepping into adulthood and learning humility), negative (Nina Sayers descending into obsession to become the black swan), and flat (Ferris Bueller and his best friend, Cameron) often break when applied to interactive storytelling.
