I guess I am like Paula. As long as the game for me has an interesting story
and keeps my attention, I can overlook some bad acting. I thought the main
characters of Holmes and Watson and Wiggins were all good actors. The part
of the schoolboy could have been better acted, but his part in the game was
more minor. Queen Victoria part could have been better acting as well, but
that was more towards the end of the game, and not a major character. None
of these two characters acting bothered me because I was so focussed on the
rest of the game and what was going on in the game. I guess people pay
attention to different features in a game and what bothers one person may
not bother another and vice versa.
