First, I have to say that I love the new narrative in the WINTERMUTE redux. I like how the town of Milton has been fleshed out. I thought it was odd that the town was freshly abandoned in the Predux, but there was no mention of the residents. With that said, I'm a little upset that the connection between Grey Mother and Farmer Barker was stunted in the Redux. I really liked the scene where Grey Mother explained who Lilly was in the Predux. The music was timed with the emotion of the scene perfectly. The same scene was so bland in the Redux. I didn't feel as emotionally compelled. Is there a chance we could bring the old scene back? I like all the improved interactions with Grey Mother. The new interactions are great, because she doesn't seem manipulative anymore, just alone and confused. I do miss the old path down to Milton from the Predux. I loved how isolated and punishing it was to make it from the plane crash site, to the road, bridge, trailer, and church. I felt like I really accomplished surviving something making it all the way there. Maybe it could be reintroduced for the hardened difficulty only? I don't think it would be unprecedented to change the path depending on the difficulty. I understand the focus on narrative and need to cut to the point for new or casual players. Maybe the new path could be used for the lower difficulties? As for survival mode, is there any chance a way of preserving food will be introduced, like a smoker? I like the idea of smoking food for hours and using specific resources (i.e. fir, green wood, sticks and hides) to accomplish it.
