I just dislike precanned scenarios with little or no wider context/significance where it seems I am the only asset in the entire area fighting the good fight.
I've always believed the advent of 3d graphics are what fubared two things to not work well if at all in any game genre:

- saved games

- dynamic campaigns

It can be noted that that (3d graphics advent) is when these two functions started having problems/disappeared all together.

Sh5 was "easier" campaign - wise I imagine because of the work already done in Sh3 with one.
