Just finished playing episode 3 (yes, i'm a little bit late to the party, but then it makes the wait for the next episode seem shorter

).
What can I say? Back when I played episode 1 I think I wrote on the forum that I really liked how Erica's powers could be used. I thought it was pretty original and brought something I had never seen before in adventure games. What you did with this episode - getting Erica to not only see Cordelia but also use her powers - was really mind-blowing and took everything, again, to another level. I was impressed by all the "cognition within cognition" puzzles and really enjoyed them.
The things I didn't enjoy as much:
- Too short
- I know some people liked how this episode took place in only one, new location. However, I felt a bit constrained by it (I love driving around Boston to different locations!) even though I enjoyed the new scenes to explore, of course. I missed the office.

- Minor bug with the telephone/usb camera (if I tried to plug in the camera first, it wouldn't let me press the button anymore. I had to exit the screen, go back again and press the button first.).
- It didn't bother me in previous episodes, but this time I've found Erica's swearing to be unnecessary and a bit irksome. I even felt it had an impact on the credibility of some scenes, like when she called Skorobeus "a******". It made her seem very arrogant and unprofessional, too. And this comment comes from someone whose mother tongue (French) is much more permissive of swearing than English

- Chronology - maybe it's just me but I was left a bit confused at times (I should take more notes, probably) as to when some events happened, going back and forth the different visions.
Story-wise:
- Love how everything unfolds. I need to play all the episodes again because my memory sucks though

- For some reason I didn't expect Cordelia to be from a well-off background. This put me off at first because it really didn't click with the background I had in mind for her character. Didn't last long (was too busy inspecting every corner of her wonderful apartment

)
- Didn't see the Cain killer's identity coming until the end (major *facepalm* to myself for not even picking up the obvious clues - hello, you've got someone who likes inventing weird, complex machines, maybe that should ring a bell?!!)
Questions, thoughts...
- I've read the whole thread and while it seems most comments focus on Cordelia (great character, still haven't decided whether I like her or not!), I wonder much more about John's motives and identity. Actually, I've been wondering about him since episode 1 (why did he need Rose in the first place? In each episode we're told he knows her because he's had to fix some "issues". What are those issues?) Now with all the information we have at the end of Ep. 3, it has got me even more intrigued. I don't know, I just feel there's still much to discover about him.
