Went back and replayed the game from the start. I last played it when the story ended with Siofra the fire spirit.
The intro could use another background art of the temple. Most of the intro scene is just that one pic of the hallways with space. A pic of the room with the giant pillars with the seal that Sarah and Ashley are on would be good to break it and one for the room with the shadow high above Metatron for a third.
Speaking of art, I think Sam and Metatron need a touch up for their pics at this point. They aren't quite at the level everyone else is.
Writing is better in the parts after Ina, with more dialogue breaking up the giant chunks of monologue early on when the MC is alone. Keep doing that. It's a good thing.
Gameplay feels more solid these days, did you change something? The older gameplay made me have to use only the companions that could only heal. The new changes let me do enough that I can field anyone, even when I'm not using a healer (I do a ranger). Thanks for the poison/bleed systems on the shortbow, they helped me stay trucking through the Deepwood against the tougher enemies.
I'd like it if the starting potion flask either have more charges with the amount of healing it does right now or keep it at two charges but it restores more. It kind of has the worst of both worlds right now. This would let you be able to do more playstyles easier if you had a few more heal charges or stronger ones.
Storywise, I ran into a funny situation where it felt like the story wanted me to go from rescuing Ina to the knight camp then to the Deepwood back to back. Then the writing tells me that you were supposed to visit Badon before the knight camp. So I had a slightly out of order thing, heh. I think the option to deliver Ina to the knights shouldn't be a thing until after you visit the church the first time?
Overall a good game.
