I get people’s reluctance. Personally, I think it’s going to be a very fun unique experience in an RPG being completely paranoid in every interaction about the very real danger of losing control.
But also, I’m not doing a first playthrough. I’ll be doing several playthroughs simultaneously, so I always have a different experience to bounce between.
That might be the way to do it, but avoid the Internet for spoilers because you’ll be progressing at half the speed.
