Do you have any proof that Jane contributed majorly to PQ3? I'll believe it when Josh confirms it.

When I said writing I meant dialogue. There are great moments in PQ3 but most of them are silent moments that are enhanced by that wonderful music. The game's pretty atmospheric. But when it comes to dialogue, the characters (everyone that's not Sonny Bonds or Marie, who only had one line in the game) just stumble upon their own words. In fact they are not really characters but caricatures. Rather than being a homeless lady the character in PQ3 has to act like an homeless lady. There is a difference there.

Perhaps a play-through is in order, but I remember the characters feeling much more natural in the remake of PQ1. I'd rate PQ 3 second best in the series (in writing). PQ 4 as the third. And PQ 2 was just awful... in my humble opinion of course.
