I think the game loses momentum when scenes stop happening in various and sometimes immediate ways. what was pretty cool at the start was the moment to moment mini scenarios, how do i survive this, how do i get past this. I admit it's also cool to see claire growing some skills with the rangers and other people, but she has stop surviving and became the classic rpg protagonist that goes on every side quest that random people put her into, only she gets her ass pounded instead of fighting, wich is great.
