that is actually good idea of how they could have worked him in, if it was in the correct era too. this is supposed to be set 1400-1500s so i guess technically you could just squeeze him in at the tail end... but he was still just a servant and a "hey, look what i gots" curiosity as you mentioned.
sometime its pcbs, sometimes its stuck heads. so if freezing it doesnt work at all then its probably a controller(pcb) problem. yes "experts" can swap a known good pcb with matching firmware to revive a drive.
yeah its really good, its darker and more mature in feeling, but varies from the og a fair bit. not sure on the book though....
ps: if you dont do subs, there is a dubbed version in the options. at least there was on D+ up here.
not on mine. maybe i need to try it again. last time i did it still sucked to play, fps varied wildly or i had to lock it. or i might just wait and see if this actually happens.
