This game is great but I forget most things about it other than the combat being extremely brutal and unforgiving at times. Looking forward to this.

I also seem to recall that despite it being part of the setting the game was actually reasonably low magic in execution, which at the time felt uncommon to me.

I have no real preference other than maximizing the amount of time Locklear has to deal with Owyn being loose lipped about their actual destination.

My vote is to show the side things that disappear after chapter 1, but avoid burning through too much else. The later chapters can feel a little empty if you do too much looting and questing at the beginning of the game.

Now that you mention this I do remember this being an issue, so I'm also good with the side content being paced out a bit more.

Definitely didn't remember using consumables like the tuning fork, so I'm sure that made things more difficult! But like you said, since battles are ultimately finite I probably just assumed it was worth the effort to fight trolls just in case.

The thing about trolls is they never carry loot

In fairness I was probably playing this when I was 13 or so, and there are definitely other games in that era I came back to later and realized that I was approaching them extremely incorrectly.

Detour if it makes sense with your LPer knowledge of what is chapter limited, but don't do content that can be used to better flesh out later chapters imo.
