In my opinion, Lucky Mark was fantastic (one of the best games ever) and there was not the slightest problem getting all the scenes (I always play without cheats). Personally, I would have liked Amnesia to keep at least the same difficulty level. That way you can play for a lot more time (at least a few hours with each update). At the moment it's over very quickly.
In LM, there were many places with many hours of the day to check, when all one needed was the one hour on that one day at a specific place. Very time consuming and annoying to check absolutely everything just to find that one event needed, especially when there was no decent hint as to when and where the event was to be found. One good example I recall was when the player needed to go to Saturday breakfast with the boss's wife -- for what, seven weeks in a row at least? No other event throughout the week. That's a lot of dull, unrewarding checking. Never again. Scenes were great, grind was terrible.
I voted for Free Roam, but I don't want to see it be like Lucky Mark, which was a very painful grind, one of top two games for painful grinding in my experience. If the free roam is going to be like Lucky Mark, then no free roam please. That was sooo painful and I have a hard time getting other ppl into it to see the great scenes because of the painful grind. I hope you will do much better with free roam in Amnesia, if you do it.
Tahnk you for feedback! I will answer you in the next post!
