You found it without that (albeit by accident), so I don't think that's a spoiler at this point (and I won't say the answer for where it is in case that's too much of a spoiler), but it would have made it easier for you. Also, it's easy to get turned around in the desert because at about three screens south of the city, the perspective gets turned 180, so where you were going up to down, now you're going down to up. If you just keep letting the saurus go in a straight line, you'll keep going the way you were headed, but it's easy to get confused about it and/or miss the significance of the perspective shift.Reikohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07326356159794723662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-55876619864791440722014-07-25T05:09:07.231+10:002014-07-25T05:09:07.231+10:00Mortville Manor.

It seems people in this game will keep certain key info to themselves until the SECOND time they're asked, even if they seemed to be done with the subject the first time!

The art is close to the right style, and the new pathfinding through the city is a neat touch, but the tone is somehow off. I don't know if it's the new mini-games or the occasionally awkward translation to VGA, or if it's all in my mind, but I actually far prefer the EGA. Hmmm. <br /><br />I'm slightly ahead of the Trickster, but not by much.

I just know that I probably wouldn't normally talk to every other random guy on screen in a game with a city the scope of this, and have always felt that actually getting some information from random passers by isn't something I'd expect as a rule. There's no extremely critical or important information gained by them either, and the game can be finished without.Aperamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13669724908141286435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-24308027463650566992014-07-22T11:18:21.981+10:002014-07-22T11:18:21.981+10:00Did you find Harpo?Did you find Harpo?Charleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04860506019349657883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-76180640359411688362014-07-22T11:14:19.137+10:002014-07-22T11:14:19.137+10:00Bah, I can't read any of these posts because o...Bah, I can't read any of these posts because of the loose linearity, they're full of spoilers (and I don't know which ones apply to my thief!)
