I realized last night what my issue with the trial was.

When Ep2 was ready for play, I was extremely excited, because I wanted to see what followed the wrapup of Episode 1. I expected to get contacted by someone, have a chat, and get a mission, reliving the play experience of Ep1 with all-new content.

Instead, this gratification was delayed by a lengthy court scene which didn’t immediately advance the “pause” point at the end of Ep1. I wanted to get through it to continue with the main storyline. Sure, it was very entertaining, with lots of lulz, but — it was in the way.

I wouldn’t mind, and would actually enjoy, seeing something like that come back. However, I’d like the following changes to the way it was handled with Ep2:

1) From the storyline POV, let’s jump right into where we left off, without having a distracting sidequest.

2) If it’s going to be so lengthy, allow us to choose when we want to encounter it.
