    I feel like the game is going to present you with them in a linear fashion, at least at first.  Has anything been said about that?

    Ethan story sounds really cool to me. Father looses his son to a car accident, only to have his other son taken by the The Origami Killer. plus i thought his trailer was the coolest so far!

    I thought it was going to play out like Indigo Prophecy where you pretty much play as everyone. If not I'm gonna play as the first guy on the list and work my way from there, so Madison Paige.

    @Jackel2072: Anyone who has a picture of Deckard as their avatar's is cool in my book.  Blade Runner is what got me into Origami.

    I'm pretty sure you play in the order they choose. But Ethan looks the most interesting.

    It's a linear progression, as in you don't just pick at the start - at least that's what I think.

    You know i haven't thought of that. just from the way they have been representing the characters  from the trailer to trailer i thought you get to pick who you played as.  hmmm

    Well, I read that when you die as a character, you move onto the 'next' character and tthe dead characters death figures into the story. The way the article said 'next' character implies there's a set pattern to who you control. Ethan looks the most interesting, though.

    There is probably a fixed starting point, but the whole point of the game is that it's not a linear progression.

    @Kamasama: I thought it would be like Dreamfall. where the story progression determines which char you play.

    @tiwi: Basically, but to be more specific the story progression is based largely on the actions of the player. So there are sequences of actions the player could take that cause the character to end up in a situation that could be avoided otherwise (e.g. death). Thus, there are branching paths. I've never played Dreamfall, by the way.

    Ethan Mars, partially because I used to be an architect, mainly because I like good father figures.

    Scott Shelby, this is as close to a Chinatown movie as I'm going to get until L.A Noire

    It would be Madison first because I think she looks the most interesting, then Ethan Mars 
     
    But you do not get to choose I think so my answer doesn't really matter

    you play as ethan first no matter what. Then you get to a point and you play as someone else, then you get to the next point and play as the next guy. 
    Then you get to the next point and if that other guy did not die last time you played as him you'll play as him again.
    Trust me I know, if you know what I mean. ^__~
