I look forward to seeing it unbound.

This is what I’m talking about. It wasn’t bound in the first place.

More vague thises and thats. From the point of the view of the storytellers, yes it was. They had limited control over the pace, the POV, or what the player chose to notice or participate in (some of the best character development happened in optional conversations). Now the creators have the freedom to show whatever they need to show whenever and wherever it bests suits the narrative.

I agree that we'll lose some of what made the game special--namely the feeling that we were interacting with a live person (which Grant Voegle described so well), but in exchange we'll get a cinematic presentation of the full story (something Grant Voegle attempted to create), no doubt created by some of the best talent in the industry.
