I think in the full game you could just move on to the next city, which would auto-resolve any unsolved quests in Teron,
Uh , sorry ? Does that mean that there is no "I'll be back" possibility ?

That transition to extremely short games where even the 20 or so hours you do invest in them is mostly spent on experimenting with "choices" and the assumption that players should replay games numerous times is one of the things that killed my enjoyment of RPGs.
Really? Do tell, which recent games have increased replayability thanks to c&c? I'd say real game altering c&c and true nonlinearity have always been rare. Heck, as far as mainstream games go, these qualities have only become rarer over the years.

Mmm, first time I heard about it, thanks for making that clear. Not sure I'll like this, it sort of linearizes the game. And I love to come back and make the guys who made my nose bleed the first time eat their teeth and tell them "I told you I'll be back !"....but when you leave a hub, unfinished business will default to a standard resolution.
I understand your concern, but I can assure you that it's not the case here. Whether or not you choose to believe me and give it a try is up to you.I'm nowhere near OCD enough to want to watch the exact same cutscenes, listen to the exact same dialog (with minor variations!) and wade through the exact same encounters, over and over and over again.
Well if youy have to trial and error way through to a viable build and with the C&C options you take, it does sound repetitive to eventually gain a win. More of a puzzle.
I actually agree with you that they don't
There are some positives, but damn, it's overwhelmingly obvious that some fun is missing here. Personally, I won't buy this game after this demo. Too much 'powergaming' for my tastes.
My impression of the Beta was completely different, but to each his own. AoD is pretty high on my list now after getting a taste of what the full game is going to be like.
Funny thing is.. I had completely written this game off because of how long it's been in development. Now it might be my most anticipated game after Risen 2.
