Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs Discussion Topic Part 1

Why are people so terrified of this "no inventory" system? How many games contain the system of solving puzzles without using an inventory and still worked just fine?

To name a few:
- Parts of the later Zelda Series (while containing an inventory, it still had puzzles which didn't involve it, but the environment instead, much like you will PROBABLY SEE in AAMFP)
- Condemned: Criminal Origins, Condemned: Bloodshot
- Dante's Inferno
- Portal 1 & 2
- Mirror's Edge
- Super Mario 64

And I'm sure there are more that I have not played or remember. I don't understand why this concept baffles people like it's something new and they get worried because of it. I have this same concept in mind for my own project and the sole purpose of it is to increase immersion, increase realism, and offer me the opportunity to make puzzles more unique. So why would you not be for it?

Stop being so nervous of it. We've done it before, and I can't see the inventory making things worse, but only better.
