It seems clear to me that MC didn't know about magic (or elves, or slaves, or catgirls)--at all--until part-way through the intro. From which I conclude that either the world's changed, or MC's changed, and MC's effectively in a parallel world. Details haven't been revealed though (at least through pt 1).Did people living with (a family with a patch) know about magic and keep it from him before he discovered it?
Edit: I agree about the free-roam parts--they just don't make much sense. The choices are limited and obvious, and there are only a few of them--it'd be better to just get rid of them and play straight through. And I think I saw the dev say the same thing somewhere here.
