I think most of that is aimed at OB1 more than me. I was only giving my opinion on it, not "correcting" you.
As far as Alia, yeah, she does talk all the time. She usually has something to say at least 3 times during a level, which is too much if you ask me, though I suppose it's not constantly. Plus, she went out and told me how to blow up a door and my character did it automatically at a certain point. Oh well...
In any case, regarding OOT, if you mean the fairy, I wouldn't call them optional because the hints kept flashing and making a sound, which is just too annoying to be expected to ignore. I do agree that OOT is harder than WW mind you, I'm just saying that the fairy was, though technically optional, wasn't really optional in practice due to the annoyance factor of wanting to shut it up.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
