Spoilers can be posted, so beware if you haven't allready played the game or am planning to do so.
So, I recently got thorugh Amnesia the Dark Descent, and I must say, brilliant game, nice use of the amnesia story-telling (yhea, go watch the latest Extra Credits episode for a deeper explanation) and a happy return of the Penumbra Overture gameplay (improved of course). But heres my personal squirrel with the game. Dose anyone but me feel like you aren't getting close enough with your main char? I mean, you get alot of information about this "Orb" and the problems that follow one who the "Orb" deems worthy to be let alive, and at the end the whole story just goes totally waco when its revealed what Daniel did that was soe gruesome, that he chooses to forget. What im trying to get at is that I diden't "bond" with my char and mostly I just saw him as a "tool" to get past the dangers and discover what the hell was going on. I never felt like I was "in his shoes" or "undoing his wrong doings", to me I could be controlling a ghost for all that I know.
Anyone else feeling the same way or?
