Thanks very much for the great answer!

Hey all, just a quick question. Picked the series up on Steam today, and just randomly decided to start with part 5. I'd previously (like five years ago) played part 2 almost to completion, but don't remember the plot AT ALL. So, I figured, hell...I'll just pick one at random. My question: Are the plots related to each other aside from general setting? Do they flow into each other at all? I'd be willing to restart with 1 for continuity reasons, but I'm almost 5 hours into part 5 already so I'd prefer to keep playing that if the plots are unrelated. Thank you!
