Welcome to the forums, davidh! And thanks--we're quite excited to. As I see you noticed elsewhere, we are getting close to Episode 2, so there's one advantage to coming in a bit late to the party, you don't have to wait as long for the next installment!

The wait is excruciating. Why did I have to jump in so soon?

Hey, it's not easy for us, either. We have to keep everything a secret! I want to see everyone's reactions to how cool episode 2 is!

Oh, and welcome, davidh!

Oh, you will, I'm sure. Day one of Episode 2's release, this forum will be blazing with questions and Suffers. Then we'll have to play the same routine till Episode 3 is released. 

But overall, there will be many people stating their opinions (hopefully positive opinions) and their reactions to Episode 2, myself included. That's what I can't wait for. Actually stating what I think of the Episode and the direction that the series is taking.

I think (and hope) the reaction to Episode 2 will be a lot more positive. Obviously you're never going to make everyone happy, but I think it feels more King's Quest-y - particularly in that there is some actual questing to be done!

I'm hoping people will enjoy the easter eggs, too. They're pretty funny!

Yep.  I think it's fair to say that the critical and public reception of Episode 2 will define the success or failure of TSL as a whole.  The mostly negative reception of Episode 1 was tempered by the knowledge that it was meant as more of a teaser episode, so if Episode 2 bombs, that's pretty much going to be it as far as critical success for the series.
