I almost felt sorry for the cultists.
When I asked creative director Noah Decter-Jackson whether I was just being too cowardly, he hedged his bets.
Admittedly, Ive only been amidst those weeds for two hours, in far from ideal conditions.
I knew this, but I hadnt really thought about its significance.
I realised Id been swaddling my squaddies, in that Id been far too reluctant to leave them exposed.
I suspect I wont be the only one who has to be cajoled out of cagey movement.
Increased robustness calls for an interesting shift in mentality, but it does come with a trade-off.
It doesnt mean Im going to like it.
Nor is that my only gripe.
When that crash came along and cut my session short, I couldnt help but feel relieved.
It sounded like a clever way to encourage a comeback, rather than a rage quit.
