I'm not trying to be a contarian it's just so many games put items or secrets or collectibles or side-quests in the wrong direction and many many more have points of no return without warning past every plot point. I mean games like Neverwinter Nights took me like 10 hours longer to play than everyone else because I looted everything and found every companions' missing item. Been thinking about it because I've been playing Tomb Raider lately and going the wrong way in some of the sequences just makes Lara seem like she has like some kind of ADHD or something where the big fat Kiwi guy is standing somewhere going "Hey Lara come here." and instead she runs towards him then turns, runs the compete opposite direction, crawls around in mud, picks up some feathers and then comes back going "I FOUND A CORPSE :D" and he just ignoes her while talking about the plot and having morbid conversations about how their parents all died horribly.
