I have just finished playing AWAN and after reading many reviews of the game in this and other sites I was kind of surprised that no one has seemed to remark that all the npc characters of this game happen to be well-endowed babes.
AWAN is so different to the first AW and the two DLC that maybe this detail isn't considered worth a mention or maybe the demographic target for this game is more than happy to play an alpha male phantasy and this kind of changement is more than welcome. It's just a natural part of the shift from an action adventure game to a GoW-like I suppose...
Anyway, I was trying to rationalize this and started thinking that maybe it was just natural that the npc look all like beautiful actresses as this is supposed to be a rewriting of an episode of Night Springs (even if the old ladies in the story of Martha's basement in one of the episodes in AW were not really that sexy at all :().
Of the three, two of them I easily discarded as phantasy material and not exactly real as we have accepted Alan or Barry to be. Serena was different as she happens to be a close friend of Alice. So here comes my real question in fact. After the events of AWAN that are supposed to happen in "real" Arizona but at the same time in fictional "Night Springs", will Serena have any memories about what has happened? She will just call Alice the next morning to say to her "Listen, I have just met Alan and he is alive (and I tried to take him to my bed, btw :o"??. Or she will just dismiss it as a wild dream? Has she shared a "dream"with Alan just as Clay Steward did before or the action of "Return" is happening in one night of her "normal" life as the film festival and the radio interview seem to suggest?
