As I said, the first time through it was just annoying. My impression was definitely that you had to do this whole sequence STARTING with Broken Shore to continue into Legion. If I can skip it on all the alts, that would be excellent. Here's one sequence: Walk into Kara. Wait for K to appear. He talks. You have to wait until he's done to click on him. He walks up the stairs to the ballroom. He walks across the ball room to a force field. You stand there for a while while he talks. A mechanical "attacks". you hit it a couple of times and kill it. K walks BACK to the stairs. animates a force field. Then he walks back to the first force field. He talks some more. You click a glowing spot on the wall. the force field drops. -- He felt that the darkness was full of unimaginable horrors - and the trouble with unimaginable horrors was that they were only too easy to imagine...
