Re: The Great Bridge of Riven

For the pipe, couldn't you just decrease the area of total darkness that you have to travel through? If you make more of the pipe visible to the player, and decrease the darkened area to just "a few clicks" worth of time pressing the forward arrow or whatever is guiding you, wouldn't that ...

Re: Real Riven, real characters?

When I played realMYST, it was still using the old quicktime videos, it seemed like, except after Atrus was finished talking it kinda switched to a 3D model of him writing.

Re: Which Game Had the Best Art-Direction?

For me it is really a toss-up between Exile and Revelation. First of all I will always be loyal to Tohmana... I wanted to live there so bad as a kid!! and something about the buildings on J'anin really appeals to me. I feel like being able to look around 360 degrees really enhanced my enjoyment of t...
