Hahaha yeah I've got soft from all the auto saves in modern games. xD
I actually don't mind that I got a bit lost, I had an idea of what I was looking for and I liked that the enemies in the outside world posed a real threat! It sucks to game over, but without that being a real threat a game becomes trivial.
No serious problems with the text so far, just spelling errors and some awkward phrasing. Not enough to confuse me as to the main point of what the NPC's were saying.
I will give it ago again soon! And I'll try the talk command! :)
