Making adjustments to a character is suddenly more difficult when that character is there. And particularly when the character is not overly keen on sharing information himself. I think part of the problem is neither Alex nor I really see him as a different entity to the character itself; therefore any changes on one's behalf still has an effect on the other. This makes me a little wary about getting anything 'wrong', because there is now a 'wrong' when he's here to correct me. It's now a matter of negotiation and insistent questioning than "Hey, it might be better if this was like that."
On the other hand Alex does sometimes supply information on his own and save me the trouble. Sometimes.
