I can't believe you didn't mention John's death in RDR when you talked about getting attached to characters. I was sobbing for ten minutes after that!

On-topic: I agree with everything you said. However, the scripted sequences and cutscenes for missions can sometimes tend to drag a bit after you've finished the story (I'm looking at you, "semi-conscious Section" scenes in Cordis Die), so I'd like to have the opportunity to skip them right away, like the cutscenes in GTA.
