I've played the demo and liked it very much.
However, I'm a little concerned about interacting with the characters in the game.
Will it be similar to Pandora, in that you can ask people just about anything (including inventory items)? Or it will it be some streamlined interface where the player can only pick from a few things and the game automatically removes those things it deems completely irrelevant?
I still preferred the ask anything/show anything Pandora approach than the Overseer way. It made the game much more exciting to have that much more freedom.
I must admit I'm a bit concerned about this. If they choose a streamlined (dumbed-down) approach I'd be pretty disappointed.
I have a bad feeling they're going to go with the streamined method.
For me this is essential to this feeling like a truly great game right up there with Pandora.

They haven't really changed any of the other game mechanics, so I don't see why they wouldn't have the ability to ask about everything. I think they eliminated offer from inventory because it was largely useless. The number of times it was necessary are pretty few, so 99% of the time the response was "I don't want that". I didn't really miss it in Overseer. I think adding ask abouts for important inventory items is fine.
I would like ask abouts not to disappear unless absolutely critical, though. In Overseer especially this could cause you to miss out on some responses.
