Exactly,I hate free roams too.Even got turned off the first time coz of it.Even BAD has a lot of free roams someone should make a mod without these annoying free roams
I personally told Caribdis once that the freeroam scary manor in OIALT was my favorite section... I still stand by that.
Then again, I like to actually take a lot of time to play the game. Impatience is a perfectly valid playstyle... That being said, these freeroam segments do add some amount of magic to the game. It'd be boring to me if it was just another on rails VN all the time.
For the people who prefer on rails, I respect you and can wish you the best in your gaming endeavors!
