Less Interactivity than before?

[Ossie]

Why don't those of you worrying about this just wait until you play the game? It's much easier that way.

Either that or trust what Samuel has said (and also what I said earlier based on watching other people play through the first 30 minutes). There's plenty of things that are irrelevant to any puzzle solving which you can pick up and/or move. So quit worrying.
