1 actually feeling like your an journalist investigating a mystery with the more advanced pinboard and watch notifications etc
2 simming posters on street lamps around the neighborhood. It made it feel more creepy and mysterious around town imo
3 less scripted ai task system it helped making the ai more unpredictable in the beta
4 ai tasks such as mayor dancing, car repair and ottos shooting task.
5 less restricted gameplay for example you could chose what location to do first in the beta in full game gameplay feels super restricted.

that would require some effort
god forbid they try to make the game enjoyable and not use the same CTRL+C, CTRL+V formula over and over again
this all could’ve been avoided if they just followed through with their promises, but even that seems a bit hard

Yeah I doubt open world will come back but it would be awesome and make my day I really hate act 1 gameplay structure

i hated the linear i wish you can do it in any order

honestly an open world element would’ve been way better for this game
you’d start investigating at the museum, but find the gate locked by a certain key
search around town for a place that MIGHT have that key, and give hints to the player where they might be able to find it
Ryan said it best in his playthrough of the game, you barely know what to do half the time
key opens the museum, but ted is now a threat
making him afraid or cold is an option that you could choose, or you could force him to leave the museum for parts in order to fix something
you could intentionally break his stuff, which would give you an opportunity to sneak around as he would have to leave for town in order to replace something
and not just fix it with a 2x4 as he does in HN1
like, say for example you broke his boiler and the museum becomes extremely cold. he would go to leave for town in his car, but his car could be sabotaged by removing a wheel. missing wheel forces ted to use his engineering background to ‘make’ a new wheel in order to go into town to get a new part to fix the boiler, all while keeping him distracted and in the garage.
i know that’s extremely hard to code from an outsider standpoint, but it would make sense now that you’re an adult and not a kid. you’d know way more about stuff than a kid would.
plus, journalists are nosy. they’ll do anything to get a story. this is very fitting for quentin’s status as a journalist
sorry for the spam

or, you could mess with the tv’s signal rods, which, when he’s going to watch tv, he’ll notice something wrong with it, and go to fix it.
if you straight up removed the tv, he’ll suspect somebody is in the museum with him, and he’ll begin setting up countermeasures/traps
