All fair points. re: FTBs - My point was just that the "fade to black" isn't entirely a blank slate. It does imply certain things, especially if there aren't any cues to counter said default implications.

I'm not entirely sure they couldn't have given us some sort of 'fight and be forced to retreat' kind of deal for the Raubahn scene, though.

But I'll add once again. Overall I actually liked the story and cutscenes. It's fun to discuss and provide feedback, but don't take anything I'm saying to mean 'I HATE 2.55 MAIN STORY!'

I think, ultimately, most of our problems/criticisms come back to that age old problem in RPG gaming... we want to have more control over our actions. Agency, as it were. The technology isn't here yet and may not be for a long time, but there are tricks that can be used to give the illusion and make some things a bit more palatable.
