I just ordered Farenheit off of ebay, and I'm really excited to play it, not least because of it's alledged blend of the cinematic and the interactive adventure.

What I think is cool about Dreamfall is that Ragnar apppears to be bending and experimenting with how we interact with the environment and different characters in the game. It's also quite promising that he's developed the game in full widescreen format. AND the game features forty plus professional actors from all over the world in it's voice-overs. Ragnar's combining something of what looks to be almost true cinematic quality with something that the player can interact with, and in that way, immerse themself in. And that's exactly what I hope to see more of in the future of "adventure" gaming.
