Apparently I don't like the Broken Sword series. It's strange that it's taken me this long to figure it out.
The first half was OK, but the second part was great at times and utterly horrible at others. Oh the coincidences... oh the biblical claptrap... oh my inability to read sheet music.
Ergh... so the theme of this game is that of free will. Which means you get quite a few ham fisted conversations on determinism vs free will. Which is odd for a game that's so linear that it should propose that it's free will that rules the universe.
It felt like Nico had barely said hello to some of the characters (strangers mind you) before they began discussing philosophy.
Stobbard's waggling finger animation made me hate him and I think the goat thing is overdone. And Georges seems to see so much murder that he can joke about it afterwards as lightly as anything else in the game. But thinking about it I've never been entirely satisfied with any of the Broken Sword series.
So hopefully I'll remember and avoid dipping in again...
