This strange woman keeps popping up and saying "There is more to so-and-so than meets the eye". Then after I solve the case she comes to my office and says that whoever I put in jail was a suspect in some case or other and now she will never get to the bottom of it.

What if anything is the significance of this ?person ?

Jan-19-2005 05:51

No, there is no true significance of this other than a cut-scene and a sub-plot being there (kind of like the kindnapped reporter that pops up every so often).

Jan-19-2005 05:57

So are any of the cut screens something we need to worry about? Or are they all there just to add to the flavor?

Jan-19-2005 06:01

They're just there for flavor. No need to worry about them.

Just saw my mistake - that's "kidnapped reporteer, not "kindnapped reporter" Answer was right, just can't type today (or kidnapped).

I think i read somewhere that when you do a case that the Shady character warns you off of, his price goes up. Does anyone know if that is true?

Jan-19-2005 14:04

No it is not true. Shady's price is based on your experience points. So new to the game, it will cost you less. Grand Master detective and it is really going to sting.

Like my over 100k! :)

I'm right there with you, jojo.

BUT the cutscenes with Larry and with the lady with the magnifying glass DO matter.

Larry the Toe will charge you money to direct you to the Cabaret, and the lady with the magnifying glass signals a case with an impact on two factions, one up and one down.

Thanks for correcting my answer Moonshh. I think I know why I made that mistake - for some reason I quit thinking of Larry and factions as having cut-scenes (even though they obviously do). :)
