I want to see somebody on this fucking board try and bend this in every way possible to make it seem like this passes for good gameplay, because I can not fathom how anyone with even a little experience with RPGs, or someone who even grew up with this series, is completely OK with the fact that you cannot walk for a minute without some character stopping you for some arbitrary reason.
