Quite. Just skip the battle on that occasion. It runs much more smoothly without it. That Was my "most memorable scene" anyway. Maybe Lun couldv'e stuck in an improvised battle like the disco floor scene with the Blue Scarves. ka-TSHING!

As for most moving scene, mine is the beginning of E2. Something to do with Traziun's monologue about the Way coupled with 'Freedom.' Great stuff. I felt so deprived when Lun dropped the use of an intro as such in the later episodes.

Most annoying minigame? You guessed it: the Cannon. It's fun but damn near impossible in under five tries. Next is the mine cart in E6 - I keep forgetting which switches to flip.

Favorite Moments:
-The opening of Episode 1 [It's hard to resist the Theme Music].
-The twisted story Rhue tells with ALOT of help from Lyrra.
-The ending to Episode 4 [I both hated and loved it; on one hand it was
beautiful cliffhanger, featuring's Rhue's "I must win", Strata's arrogant
smirk, and Lyrra's torn expression. I never liked Lyrra very much, but
I couldn't help but sympathize with her in that instance. On the other
hand I absolutely hated having to wait for the next episode to see
whether Rhue would win or not.].
-The opening Plunge of Episode 5 [though we ended up losing, it was
priceless, seeing Strata's expression after you didn't fall after the sixth
pass; and that new Plunge music with blaring trumpets was absolutely
amazing.].
-The Blood Lyn conflict in the black fortress/sanctium/citadel [it was
hilarious, seeing all of those Lyn flying through the air. I absolutely loved
just pressing <ENTER> and sitting back for half an hour as Traziun
carved his name out of the Lyn. And that "Reflective Sky" music was
beautiful].
-The death of Lexus in Episode 4? [That was perhaps the most touching
moment I experienced in The Way. In fact I almost cried. I was
amazed at Lun's creation of characters I actually cared about. It was
even more depressing seeing her ghost throughout Estrana immediatly
afterwards.].
-The Dinner Party and Courtroom scenes in Episode 6 [I ended up playing
through this numerous times, baffled at all of the possible actions you
could take and all the ways you could interact with the other attendants.
I especially loved the "Eat cake in front of Icbod" dialogue option. And
the courtroom scene afterwards... priceless.].
-The Outworld/Reflective Sky in Episode 6 [I instantly loved this area due
to the return of the "Reflective Sky" music, and when you jumped off of
the platforms into lower areas with the sound of the wind rushing around
you... WOW.].

Most frustrating Mini Games:
-The first few Plunges [I'm sorry, but I could NEVER remember whether it
was Cross Sweep>Lunge Cut>Drop Slash>Cross Sweep or the exact
opposite.].
-The Cannon and Free Fall minigames [they just didn't work very well.].
-The two Barrucha Dungeons [I can't remember ever being so paranoid
on a game, with bodies every where, exploding bridges, and completely
unpredictable movements on the Barrucha's part.].
-The Escape from the Blood Lyn minigame [there is no way to describe
how exceedingly frustrating this game can be.].
-All of the dodging spikes and arrows minigames in Episode 6 [everyone
loves a little bit of "Prince of Persia" every now and then, but that was
going WAY TOO FAR.].

I hated this area because despite the awesome music, in the beta it was ****ing loaded with the same enemies over and over, just too many of them. Don't know if it's been reduced in the actual release.

I find the lack of Freedom in episodes 3-6 disturbing. Should have been in E5... Hell, it might even have fit in E4 in that scene with the huge pan all around Estrana.

If there were any more enemies than in the realase version, I really feel for you. This is where SKIP BATTLES DEBUG comes in handy.

I miss Freedom. Sigh.

I remain amazed by three pieces in the entire series.

The first for me was actually when Rhue decides to totally kick into Formwoman hill and her cronies. It's a dramatic change from the rhue you know at that point. THe second is the Blood lyn being taught how to DIE by traziun. Very theatrical. The third is the courtroom scene.

It's fucking hilarious, nuff said. "Kitty kats?" D:
