Something happened to me last night when I was driving home. I had a couple of miles to go. I looked up and saw a glowing orange object in the sky. It was moving irregularly. Suddenly, there was intense light all around. And when I came to, I was home.
What do you think happened to me?

Umm, is there any way for me to get back into the building that's "closed for renovations" in Delphon? I walked out to find a save point and then couldn't get back in. I don't really want to replay all of Act II+.
Umm, it should just let you back in. If it doesn't, send me your savefile and I'll get you back inside.

author=letstalkaboutduneauthor=SaileriusWell there you go.author=letstalkaboutduneThere are a couple places where it shines through:
I hadn't actually picked up on Seri's naïveté while playing the game, but sometimes I zone out. :P
Act I: Willingness to trust and befriend Ray and Auria
Act I: Protecting Weapon, who had just attacked her
Act II: Insisting that there must be another way out of Kasch's dilemma
Act II: Believing that Zaqris will follow her into exile
So there was about a 4-month gap between the release of Act I+ and Act II+. Do you anticipate a similar gap between II+ and III+?
Yes, although not for the same reasons. Act II+ was already almost done when Act I+ was released, it just needed testing (and apparently needed more than it got). Act III is similarly almost done, it just needs some new scenes written and a boatload of testing - as well as numerous bugfixes in the earlier acts.
But it's going to be on pause for the next month or so while we focus on the Kickstarter for Awakening.

Ahh, okay. Seems you got the ending that most people will probably get, so that's good. As for your comments:
I was upset about Mia's death, as I liked her character and found her interactions with Auria very interesting. However, she did seem like her purpose in the narrative was to convey despair and tragedy so perhaps she needed to die. Also, from a gameplay perspective it would be overpowered to have both possessed girls in the party.
It's a shame that she had to go. :< She was a fun character to write and I enjoyed what few scenes I got to put her in.
Seri's actions made no sense to me. Did she think the mission back in Alibass would end any differently? Why was she immediately granted officer-like status in the Virad? At first I was very excited about how this part of the story would turn out because it seemed like Seri was thinking several steps ahead, but the way this played out suggested otherwise.
Seri's problem is that she's clever, but she seriously overestimates her own intelligence. She lived a very sheltered life (hence her very naive beliefs). A classic example of someone's book smart but not street smart. If she had just gone to someone else (like Zaqris) and said what she was planning to do, he would have told her why it was such a bad idea, but she internalizes all of her problems into herself and thinks that she has all the answers. It just never occurred to her as a possibility that she would be outwitted or flat out lied to.
How did Auria manage to regain control of herself once Zezzorah began to emerge? The other characters all indicated that it would be next to impossible once the demon took power, yet a few goofy professions of caring from Ray (of all people) brought her right back. I would have understood had it been someone Auria trusted, like Seri or Zaq or even Rien, but Ray came out of nowhere.
She hadn't yet surrendered to Zezzorah, although she was perhaps moments away from it. She fell into despair and succumbed to isolation because she felt like she no longer had anything to live for, or that she had any lasting connection to the world. If she had gone through with annihilating East Naven, she surely would have cemented that. But she was reminded that there are still people who care about her and that she was on the verge of destroying her last remaining bonds. That realization jarred her back to reality.

Yeah, someone else reported that error, but it seems to happen sporadically and I haven't managed to track down the cause yet. It might have something to do with Stormpike. Did you use it? See if not using it fixes the problem.

I'm confused about the complete edition. Is it just an update of the same game? Or is it completely a different game. From the description you make it sound like an update, but the different titles have me confused.
It is an update of the original game with some changes in the story.
