Hamer, I thought that was odd too, and yes it was a pain. But it did the trick for me. I enjoyed the game and was glad to be able to have more control so I could enjoy the playing a bit more.

well i hooked up an xbox controller for this...i bet this is what the game was intended for......the mouse was definitely an after thought.......now after playing the game for a while ...just picking the lock to get into the hotel....the game seems very very simple.....the first game seemed much better....this seems almost like a beginner type of adventure game....unless it gets better im guessing this game was one of the easiest walkthrus for mag to put together.. basically you just run around and talk....hardly any puzzles...not much for inventory type stuff....and more actual combat than anything else.....quite the let down running around hiding from spider bots and guards now most of the time.....its getting very frustrating and tedious......wish i never hooked up the gamepad now........i think im done...im in the wati caves......is the rest of the game like this.......sigh....and im pretty sure u dont need to hear me complaining.....sorry

Hamer, I understand how you feel. That whole arcade section was the worst part for me as well, and I thought it would never end. Once you get past that section, however, it gets a lot better, and the story comes into focus again. Also, I'm not sure if you already know this, but you can avoid most of the combat. I believe there are only five fights you have to take part in, and two of those are practice. Unfortunately, the game never becomes very challenging in the puzzle department. I felt the game was excellent mainly for its story. Not as good as TLJ of course, but still a worthy sequel. Are you at least enjoying the story? I was really happy to see and play as April again, and I liked Zoë as well.

Hamer, I remember discovering that you can't win the fight with the troll, but you can avoid it completely.
After many deaths, I discovered a pattern (which I don't remember) but it seems to me that once he discovered you and ran off for help, that if I moved from that passage to another and hid, he didn't find me.

The only one who knows the answers to those questions is TLJ's creator. And even he doesn't know whether there will be a new game. You can check his blog here http://ragnartornquist.com/There's an entry about Dreamfall Chapters for February 27, 2009, and there are earlier ones too. Last I heard, they were thinking of making the rest of the series as episodic games -- a series of chapters you'd download. But I don't think they've actually started working on these yet.

You know what - that's just not responsible, leaving a story hanging like that, without ensuring a sequel. I understand a company cannot tell whether the game will sell or not, but I don't think it's fair to finish a game like that without making sure there's a sequel. Of course games can end with "open endings", but there's a major difference between several question marks remained, to this. For example, TLJ 1, although ending in an "unsatisfactory" way to many, to me seemed to have a pretty solid ending, and did not demand a sequel (other than the fact, of course, that it is a marvelous game that I wanted to see continued). But TLJ2 simply cannot end like this. It'll be a shame, and it will diminish the game to half it's worth.
There's definitely definitely definitely no logic to human behaviour.

Well, oldmariner, the sad truth is the market today isn't as welcoming to adventures than it was when TLJ was first released. Don't get me wrong, I agree with you, I think it's unfair to have this whole issue hanging like this, but I can also understand the pressure. The guy is really talanted, and he is interested in selling his work to a large audience. It requires a lot of bravery to create something you truly believe in. But - I believe that there is still hope that a grand adventure would attract many non-adventurers, only because of publication and great reviews. In any case - Dreamfall should have been either wrapped up, or not out at all. It reminds me of the mess with Uru live (a myst side kick), which was supposed to be a multiple-player, interenet based game, and then it got canceled, probably because not selling enough. This is depressive... It's a shame we're such a small community. I'm gonna raise my kids to love adventures!! (both real life and games!)
