    IMPORTANT ALONE IN THE DARK TIP:
    in AITD1, you had no cap on max health, you could drink every flask as soon as you found it and just keep increasing your health. That holds true in 2 as well, and with the emphasis on action it's a good idea to do so.

      There's also a glitch to give yourself like 32,000 health by constantly drinking poison but abusing the pause menu to keep you from dying until the health values go into the negatives and roll over to the maximum integer limit.

    With how hard-boiled Carnby is portrayed in every subsequent game, it makes me imagine that when his driver in the first game reveals he's a freaky zombie and there's the dramatic sting Carnby just pulls the hammer back on his gun and grumbles out 'No Days off, eh?" Before blasting him through the headrest.

      @@Popebug The devs realized this and pulled back on the silliness some for 3, which is a much better in-between of 1 and 2's tone. And it's got cowboys instead of pirates. It's the kind of shit Robert E Howard (who was a good friends of Lovecraft, the main inspiration for 1) would write when he wasn't being paid to do Conan stuff. I doubt that was an intentional shift from Lovecraft to Howard but I love that it happened.

    I think the idea with 2 was they’re bootleggers, mafia types, and you discover they’re all like 200 year old Pirates by reading the ship ledger but they had all this pirate art so they stuffed it in the intro and completely ruined the setup so it’s JUST zombie pirates with Tommy guns now.

    Oh, no yeah this is an action game you absolutely just unload your guns on enemies in this one. But yeah aiming is wonky hence why ammo is pretty common. lol
    I think the main reason it became more action focused is because the original lead left after development on this one was getting rough and the new head was told to get it done so they drifted more towards action than survival horror.
    Honestly infogrames had no clear vision for this series they just wanted to pump out more games.

    Weird dialog choices for gangsters trying to kill you "Hi guy!". Really needed a cover-mechanic system if it's going to be one big fire fight.

      It's how most unfitting sequels get made: AITD1 was a moderate auccess and infrogrames wanted a quick and dirty sequel to strike while the iron was hot. The main project lead and some of the team left after creative differences and made Little Big Adventure AKA Relentless, so the easiest way to make the game was to fill it with combat. TLDR it's a sequel because alone in the dark got people in seats
