Abstract
In interactive storytelling, adaptability to user interactions tends to decrease plot quality, and the absence of a main character impedes emotional immersion by identification. ”Interactivated stories” provide a framework for creating interactive narration out of traditional linear stories while retaining original plot quality and indirectly induced emotions. The faculty of involving the human participant in the social and emotional fabric of the story turns out to be the essential requirement for virtual actors in this context.
