Thoughts on A:AMFP

[jd1802]

those who argue that it breaks immersion, please explain to me, how not being able to pick up an ordinary sack or broom from the floor does not break immersion? This was one of the things that bothered me the most - along with the hundreds of intricately locked cupboards and doors - as it constantly reminded me that i'm actually in a heavily scripted and predetermined enviroment, unlike in TDD where i could move most stuff around freely and locked doors & cupboard at least didn't have a visual que so that you could tell they're useless from a mile away.

Ill have to completely agree with this. At the beginning I thought that this was going to be only in the mansion cause maybe Mandus was hiding a lot of things from their kids and ok that would be logical but then I got to the church and the doors were also locked there THAT was when immersion totally broke for me. Cause I knew I was in a game that just tried to make a clear and only path for me :L I think that was a bad choice as removing interactivity with objects. Also finding notes every 5 minutes, even notes that didnt make any sense and were in a completely illogical place, that broke the immersion to me. In TDD most of the notes were in the place they belonged. I think Daniel journal sometimes was in some weird places where you think like ''how did this get here?'' but most of the time they didnt. I was wondering the whole time how did Mandus journal end up in the sewers or how those recordings of The Proffesor and him ended up in some church and all that. It was kinda off the story and broke immersion to me.
