I don’t usually make my own threads to voice an opinion, but I guess this was just something that kind of bugged me enough to do it.

When we are first speaking to the Sheriff and she mentions the probes, all of the sudden we get the cutscene panning out to the one under the water in LA turning green. If you’ve done the LS, you know what I’m talking about of course.

What I am not understanding… is how exactly did our character see that? The line right before the cutscene mentions you investigating the probes. There are a lot of them. But we get this cutscene, see it turn color, and we’re all, “oh no, I just saw something! Just right now! Without leaving the room and conveniently after you say we should investigate them!”

Were we supposed to assume our character just decided to leap out into the water and check that probe in particular within a span of a few minutes, and came back? Because I don’t get the impression any decent amount of time passed during the cutscene where you might be out investigating, and then speaking to the sheriff again.

Or are we all just totally psychic? Or do we have awesome x-ray and telescope vision that allows us to see through buildings, past a distance, and then under water?

Please if I misinterpreted this, someone correct me!

Otherwise I thought the rest was pretty cute. Its clear Anet is listening to us and involving our character more in the cutscene. Granted, the dialogue felt a little forced in the first Dead End instance, but they are learning and I think did a good job. The second Dead End instance was pretty neat. It’s just this one thing I am having a hard time with.
