You mean why would someone want to watch a serial show instead of
reading a book? Lots of people watched Buck Rogers for a long time.
A series of text snippets would work similarly for some number of
players. I dunno how large that segment is, but I'm sure it would be
enlarged if the story telling abilities of NPCs were enhanced - to the
point of 3D animations in order to tell their stories. The NPC's
voice would serve as narration.
