Breaking my rule of commenting before finishing something. Yyeess, my third favorite part of this game, the Talk/Examine at places. Even if you don't go where you need to lots of info, sometimes humor and sometimes foreshadowing to uncover!
I like the changes to this menu, by the way. Something being grayed out and at a lower opacity to show that you've already done it is great. Haven't gone there yet but the little icon next to a location as though to say "Psst, you're meant to go here!" it's also a nice touch if you just wanna continue on with the story.
