    watching video personally only help me once I have tried.
    I watched the twintania video many time before going in.... no clue what to do once inside.
    Watching it after going through the phases made sense.

    I am sure I am not the only one like this. I need to try first and then, if wipe or blocking point, check.
    Checking before does not help, won't remember once in the actual dungeon.

    You can watch a fighting video 1000 times, and then go and try to fight a professional boxer who has experienced it first hand, guess what will happen^^
    Though watching a vid may help you understand the mechanics, god help you when things don't go like just in the video... which they never do
    Should help players learn to adapt to changing situations in game, ie, letting them experience it and not rag about how they've come to play the game unprepared lol not to go study a vid which the game rarely plays out in DF groups anyways imo.

    I've seen the "watch a video" thing many time's on this forum and an interesting question has been raised in this thread. Some people do indeed absorb alot by watching video's and go into an encounter confident that they know what to do. Me on the other hand I learn by doing, and it's how I learned every fight so far. I watched a vid on Twintania any times before attempting it and once there my brain screamed "what the hell is going on" xD
    For me if I watch a vid for the likes of Twintania, I know what's coming up I just don't know how to naturally react to it with regards my rotations and stuff.
