If I have a favor available to try for and don't take it, instead starting a new case -- does the opportunity go away, and my cases-needed for a favor resets at 3? or 4? (can't remember which).

I know I could easily find out for myself, but I don't want to miss out on a favor just to figure out how it works.

the favor will stay until you do it but if you do more then 2 cases after you have a favor available you will loose your next one

So if I understand you right -- if the butcher needs you to do a favor, you're going to have to either (1) DO the favor and complete it, (2) attempt to do the favor and quit the case, or (3) leave town and come back.

And failure to do any one of those three things means that favor will just stay there until you do?

the favor will remain there until you do it, unless you leave town. Then it will disappear. Or, I guess, as woody said, if you do more than 2 cases after a fav is available, you will lose it. I wasnt aware of that...I thought the favor remained there, until u did it,no matter how many cases u did. (unless u leave town) I know I had a Barber favor that stayed there forever, until I did it. Maybe Im misunderstanding you? lol thats possible :)

I think what Woody was saying Reese was that if you do more than two cases while having a favor waiting, they won't count toward your next favor. You'll still have the "butcher", in this case.

Second question on same topic.

What determines the difficulty level of your favor? Is it based purely on score, or is based on the number of successful favors? I would guess its the former, but from my own experience I can't tell.

Your favor level is based on how many favors you do. Your experience points are not a factor in favor level.

Oh.

Then I guess I better stop bailing on favors.

Thanks.
