Hints for LucasArts games

good, I started to feel stoopid for forgetting how to solve that puzzle every time. Even if I knew more or less how it went.

Yeah, no surprise you also struggled with it. Ron used that as a negative example (I´m sure he mentioned it in the podcasts a couple of times) of a situation where you got stuck because you can´t get the same info anymore. And he said he made sure that never happens in TwP.

Right, okay. Yeah I definitely wouldn’t have remembered that!

I accidentally read about that when researching my blog post, and since she was so annoying I did it straight away :smirk:

Yes, it feels more justified than usual so I’m happy with that. Thank you for doing so or it would’ve taken a lot longer! Though it helps I inadvertently locked her up, heh.

Okay missy, no more blog post before you´re done with the game! :older_woman:

M’am.

I´m not an elderly lady either! And commanding a M’am would sound weird.

Huh? Stop confusing me :sob:

I was about to say that same thing to you! :weary:

I think I got confused when I wasn´t sure if

Meant

(Yes,) M’am!

or


(You are supposed to call me) M’am!

Haha. I meant is as a ‘yes, M’am, I respect you and will do as you say.’ And your elderly lady emoji made me assume you were being an elderly lady :stuck_out_tongue:

Correct, because I was supposedly speaking as such. :grin:

Quite interestingly, I put her into prison without knowing why, but, conversely, I think this is the reason why I didn’t have any problems with the near grog puzzle.

I’ll explain why (spoiler safe for Kate):

I had this flyer which, quite strangely had her face on it. I saw my face on the Wanted poster and thought… what if I exchange my face with hers? When I saw it worked, I asked myself: ok, now how can you take advantage of getting someone into prison? You can steal their stuff!! So I did it. When I looked inside the envelope I was like “Oh, yeah, now I remember the bartender telling me something about this stuff, I totally forgot that”.

So it was pretty much straightforward… I think the most challenging part was altering the poster, but getting the envelope was the natural next step, to me. Not to mention that a new object that suddenly appears immediately after solving a puzzle is very attractive…
one of the first rules of adventure games is “pick up whatever”…
BTW, @PiecesOfKate, don’t be upset with Captain Kate just because she rejected you. A “no”, means “no” :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Thanks for blurring! I’m bookmarking all these spoiler posts to read afterwards, heheh.

I know I haven’t read your full explanation yet, but on my experience it would help if just a few lines were added into the barman’s later three-drink dialogue. For example:
Guybrush: Actually none of those tickle my fancy.
Barman: What are you saying?! My poison’s better than that slop Captain Kate carries about.’

Or you know, maybe something a bit more subtle I guess. As Milan says you’ve forgotten what he says about Kate all that time later.

But she has the same name! We were meant for each other :sob:

You know all these things already, I´m not quite sure why he said he was blurring them for you?

Ohhhh, so that´s how that works?

Heeeeyyy, my guy! :wink:

Oh. Just in case, I guess. Aw, I was looking forward to looking at it, a bit like opening a present at Christmas.

You two are going to be so happy together! :sneezing_face:

Sorry, @PiecesOfKate, I wasn’t clear. The blur was for anyone else. With “safe for Kate” I meant the blurred content was safe for you, so you can click safely. Maybe I should have written it in some other form?

Oh I see! No the way you said it is fine, I just read it wrong.

Yay! Bookmarked for 25 December :innocent:

Don’t peek! :grinning: And behave…

You are cruel. I really hope she peeks.*


*And I´m also glad I didn´t put an “a” there again where it really doesn´t belong! :fearful:

This is me! I’m not going to peek :stuck_out_tongue:

That word trips me up too – I did a double-take when I read Ema’s, and then again when I read yours :laughing:
