For example, there was another dialogue option ("Screw ‘em.

Lying never works in adventure games. The person you're lying to always seems to have some omniscient power of knowing when you're lying and holding back until all of a sudden they become aware of you having done some small insignificant thing 10 screens away that they could not be affected by at all and only then giving you what you want. <br />Honestly, I don't know how I finished this game when it threw out tried and true adventure game tropes like that in the garbageDraconiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06261641328136220239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-23647712518789415302014-05-07T08:00:44.597+10:002014-05-07T08:00:44.597+10:00That's good stuff Charles!

I was playing the game together with my family, and we progressed slowly due to being rarely together. We only got to that scene about half a year after all episodes were already released, which was more than enough to fill YouTube with scenes from the game during that time. I had viewed a lot of trailers and other videos of the game, which is why I eventually stumbled upon the spoiler.<br /><br />Nowadays if I want to look a YouTube video related to a game or film I really don't want to be spoiled about, I open a private/incognito tab that doesn't save any cookies and move the window to the corner so that only the video itself shows.Laukkuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16258625692586860655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-12771896652911070202014-05-07T02:33:06.254+10:002014-05-07T02:33:06.254+10:00I could have sworn you needed to go through all th...I could have sworn you needed to go through all the extras and reject them before the price went down low enough, as haggling on your own didn't change it more than once.
