I guess that all makes sense. After all, Spoiler: Just goes to show how even after a dozen times playing this game over the last 17 years, it still gets one thinking things never thought before!

I would say at this stage, Gabriel's still feeling his way through his new role, so if Wolfgang with all his years of wisdom tells him to do something then he'd do well to listen to him I'd imagine.

Well, everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion, of course. And some of your points - I'm not a fan of the Indiana Jonesy feeling of the traveling cutscene, for example - are indeed valid, but you're also being slightly unfair to the game, whose supernatural theme was clearly evident from the very beginning, both in Gabriel's stern conviction that the Voodoo Murders were the real deal and in the overarching plot of his dreams and nightmares.

Well, I got carried away with the spoiler tags, which I put there in the first place since someone - sorry, can't remember who - hasn't got yet to Day 9
