I put a general spoiler warning in the thread title. I think it's difficult to talk about this game without bringing up TLJ and Dreamfall. Although, try to use spoiler tags for big things.
I even added them to the original post and put quote tags. Even though the source is at the bottom, it's still confusing at first who the author is. |

I am surprised, and more than a little annoyed, that Ragnar assumed everybody who is interested in Dreamfall Chapters must have played Dreamfall already. This is the man who labelled AG review as spoilerish because it originally mentioned
Spoiler:which is by far the lighter of the two spoilers he put in the quoted blog post without any warning.

I must say I didn't like that either. Fortunately there are still a lot of questions left. Will Kian survive? What is Brian Westhouses role in the story? Will we see Emma and Charlie back? And what about the woman who killed Peetes (did I spell that right) in Dreamfall?

Is this episodic content? I ask based solely on the name. I don't like episodes. And can they at least tell us what the style of gameplay is? Or is it more run to next cutscene like the last one?

The next installment will most likely be episodic, yes. I must say I'm also not too enthousiastic about that.

To give counterbalance after and before all the whiners that will complain in this thread: Ragnar, episodic is the way to go and I like it, I trust that you will do the right thing.

About episodes: I guess they are OK if they are like chapters of a book (Dreamfall Chapters, hmmm), so you can eventually play a full-length game. But if they are independent mini-games the end result ends up being repetitive (from my experience with Sam & Max). |

@Periglo: It will be more of an episodic trend similar to epic television series that have a continuous non-cartoony story line. (Lost, Battlestar Galactica, Dr. Who, and others)

I hope it's possible to wait until all chapters are released and then play the whole game in one go.

I dislike episodic games, and INTENTENSELY HATE those which can only be downloaded and come with all sorts of restrictions... the bottom line being that they're never really "yours" to do whatever you like with !!

I would be able to put up with this episodic idea, it is not so bad after all and maybe the game is going to be longer because of it and explore all the loose ands Dreamfall created.
For me a more disturbing question is, what the control system is going to look like. I hope it is not going to be another adventure game with stealth, fighting etc. Action elements ruin everything for me |

Considering how Dreamfall ended, I suspect each of the Dreamfall Chapters would end in a similar way. I can't say I care for that.

I'm not a big fun of the idea of episode format for dreamfall but it's better than nothing. I'm guessing the cliffhangers will be infuriating though.

I just hope they make the chapters a proper adventure game like TLJ
