This has been rattling around in my head a while, and sorry if it's been brought up before. I dont remember seeing it, but that doesnt mean anything. One thing that is, IMO, very unrealistic about this game is when you do a favor for the barber (for example, and assuming that the barber is not your contact) and the barber clams on you. In this game, the person you are doing the favor for, the townie, cant be guilty, so wouldnt they want the case solved? and wouldnt they do whatever they could in order to see it solved? Just seems odd to me. IMO, whoever you are doing the favor for should answer all of your questions....any thoughts?

Totally agree, Autumn, thanks for raising it as it seems to have been rattling more heads than yours, lol!
This has irritated me to no end. I'd settle for if the person you are doing the favor for was guaranteed to answer some minimum fixed number of questions, like 3 or something, but logically yeah, they should prostrate themselves to your sleuthy services and sing like a drunken Aretha Franklin at a bad office party.
(as anstett points out however, this presumes human logic, not programming logic)

Maybe it would seem more realistic if it said something like "Someone must have gotten to (f.ex.) Thaddeus because he was clearly nervous and didn't want to answer any more questions"? Maybe, perhaps, I don't know :)

I think it would be cool, if you were lucky enough to get the Fortune Teller as a contact, if she'd tell your fortune for free :D

I also think you should be able to kill a townie you need a favour from when they don't give it too you and then steal the treasure or at least find out who they gave it too.
