I'm going to be honest to the people that are saying your interpretation is wrong because the creator had a meaning and if you don't interpret a piece of media as the same way as the creator does that means your wrong and discard the other persons opinion is a really shitty thing to do. It doesn't matter if the creator had a meaning or purpose what matters is what effect it has on a player if Draken says he doesn't like Wynn that's fine because that's his opinion and while I may disagree with him I wont discard his opinion and say Draken wrong about how he views Wynn. For example a piece of media may express how cool and great a character is but that doesn't mean the audience likes or cares for that character. When you discard a person opinion your not helping the game your just pissing off people from playing the game. We all have one thing we have in common we like the game we just have different opinions.
I'm saying this not to shit on people but because its been an issue I've seen plenty of comments saying they didn't like the gathering scenes and instead of people trying to understand that person point and encourage them to keep playing they just shit on them and tell them to not play the game which doesn't help anybody or the game.
Though I like the sentiment, I think it also depends very much on the work. Varying interpretations of Tolkien is, as you say, utterly fine and most likely the actual intent of the writer. Conversely, a radically different interpretation of Orwell's "Animal Farm" might possibly create a different paradigm because the story does have a tangible focus to its function. That is the difference in metaphor and allegory. Indeed, all art is subjective, or it would be science. However, if the focus of a work is meant for one focus, I think there is some imperative to see that intent from the artist, and then be free to decide what to do with that knowledge.
Not saying this applies, in either way, to this game. Referring solely to your statement on interpretations of media.
