This is an excellent Let's Play focused on a specific ambition as well as getting out of the hole Capet starts in, packed with a lot of great narration and explanation of strategy and gameplay - all in less than 2 hours total for the 3 videos. Definitely a prime choice for first Let's-Play for someone interested in the game.
The lack of a mouse pointer for my eyes to follow is the only flaw (since I need to click to stop and rewind 3-10 seconds or so very frequently to read the pop-up and tooltip info at 720 resolution when the mouse does not linger on it - with lots of rewinds, videos could really use a "backup 5 seconds" button to reduce the RSI risk). However, the videos being only around half an hour each did make those very short rewinds easier.
Those who don't feel the need to read evertyhing won't care about the mouse, but then they probably don't suffer much from the alleged distraction if the mouse is there either (what exactly is it they are distracted from when the narration is fairly tightly tied to the concurrent UI actiivity?).
