This was one of the reasons why I cared about Xavier). Also, some of the shock was lacking in Saw II. We already knew who the killer was and why he was doing the things he was. Which leads to another flaw. In the first film, he only ever had one or two people in one trap at a time and only in one room. This made everything feel much more cramped and in turn, made the atmosphere much more intense.
