That's what I always think. Though I just X out all of the stuff that I wouldn't particularly believe happened...like I forget the whole "Black Bart met Jack" part of the AWE game(since it's never happened as far as we know). It depends on one's beliefs.

Like for example, the case of Will and Elizabeth after Will left aboard the Dutchman; we make our own stories of what happens, but it must lead to the "10 years later" part...and from there, it's all our own idea. While it's preferred that it's "Will and Elizabeth live happily ever after", the film shows it could go either way...depends if you go with the writers' say or not.
