I want to be fair and reserve judgment until I have played the game. And I really am looking forward to another great story by Jane Jensen with deep characters, no matter what. But the comments in this preview have done nothing to take away my fears about other aspects of the game, especially gameplay issues. Apparently, lots of backtracking like there was in Runaway to see if new items have become available. Worse, you have to examine everything before you can go on to the next chapter, even if you have finished the puzzles and dialogues. The Lost Crown did the same, had me walking around forever.
