[UPDATE] Faith & Kriel's Meeting

[Lostpedian]

And another HUGE blog post on 8/11 with a ton of videos.


Still don't see where this is a -game-, feels more like we're just reading along - following a story that is already laid out.

I agree, but at least the story is somewhat interesting. The characters, for the most part, don't really create much of a connection with me, with the exception of Faith.

That said, the story did seem to kick up a notch with this recent update. Not only do we get confirmation from a (supposedly) reputable source that Faith is destined for something big, we also find out her journey is far from over, that there's some kind of monkey involved in her next lead, and we finally get to see her tattoo. All in all, I'd say it was a quality update, even if it's lacking in the game-ness aspect.

Plus, while Kriel isn't really all that charismatic IMO, at least he doesn't seem like a prick now. >.>

ditto Esteed. While we're not having a huge role in interaction or puzzle solving here, we are being given at least an interesting story to follow along...

it'll be much easier to enjoy OE without having huge expectations for interaction and 'gaming', at least at this point. a lot of the discussion, research, and study going on is actually really interesting. And I'm sure it'll only get better as Faith (most likely) travels around the world...
