The last solo duty for 5.5, I get the feeling that they are trying to have the player get a sense of being a part of a larger team in a medium that is not just a cut scene.
The problem with that one is you need to heal through one part of it. Thankfully, it saves as you pass each battle.
Also, is it me, or does the trust system suck? You or the NPC die and it fails the fight. I can go back in to the fight, but it’s a PITA.
