I would like to see her interact with other female victims, and in ways that make the characters and situations feel real. I would like to see the victim characters displaying helplessness, vulnerability, and hurt, especially in their interactions with one another and the jailers/torturers. I would like situations in which I may have to harm, kill, sacrifice, endanger, or abandon victim characters, including ones with which I have bonded, and seeing the betrayal in their eyes, or their gratitude and relief as I kill them in order to save them from being recaptured. I think it could be nice to see the main character being captured and tortured in the beginning. The way I see it, it might be better to use 3rd person point of view, or to include reflective surfaces. I would like to see what the main character's face looks like at various points in the game, after experiencing or when facing various things, especially bad things like being tortured, killing a friend, imminent capture, etc.ymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10839758776973265558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9193968969153274146.post-3424502728796771782011-05-14T00:33:05.006+02:002011-05-14T00:33:05.006+02:00I'll be at GGC all right.

I wouldn't be too disappointed at things you thought people didn't notice. I saw some strange stuff that I thought was ARG related, but I never posted it because I was A) enjoying the game too much and B) assumed someone else had found them first.<br /><br />Amnesia continues to be one of my favorite games of all time, even though it still creeps me out.

Many of us grew attached to him (to the point where I was sending in-character private messages even when we didn't need hints) and I know that I, personally, would like to see more of him in some capacity.<br /><br />What, as well, was the purpose of the hidden text in the concept art within the fourth RAR file? We translated it to "An airplane can lift off from here, sure!!" but were never really sure of its meaning.<br /><br />Also: I certainly cared about the pictures :). They may not have been discussed in the channel because of our desire to solve the puzzles, but they functioned very well as teasers for Justine.Synthecismhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01662519988394216051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9193968969153274146.post-87414913317731946822011-04-27T23:43:47.885+02:002011-04-27T23:43:47.885+02:00Francis:
