What you're talking about as far as skipping over parts you've already played to jump to parts you haven't or have played less, I'm totally cool with that. Like how after you completed a chapter in Half-Life 2 you could jump right to it from the main menu if you wanted to replay just that part. But it's only after you've played and that's the way I think it should be, since the burden is on them to produce something that will be entertaining. Not to hand me a pile of levels and say there's probably something in there worth $50, figure it out. They're already asking me to give 10-40 hours of my time to a game, and then they want me spend more to configure it to be fun? Fuck that.

'me' 'me' 'me' no one is saying you have to do shit.

there's always gonna be a normal mode that'll be the best thing that can get through testing. I'm saying it hurts no one to have other options for other people who want to see the story but combat isn't interesting to them, or to have the combat be tough enough the game turns into a roguelike (maybe as a new game+). I don't think there's a real threat to your play experience if they add those in last minute, or as a patch later, or whatever.
