Aye, I can see that. Shooting things tends to be the default for me. This was never brought up by the few people I had play test it, so I appreciate you bringing it up. There's always a blind spot.
Yeah, getting the player into the game with as little hassle as possible is usually better. I can see for different types of games maybe starting the player off disoriented and needing to figure things out helps with getting the mood right, but it's not good for this kind of game.
