Evil begets Evil. You use an evil heart to bring someone back dont expect a human. Amanda was dead for 25 years.The point?
The point is in the story, and it is halloween. I understand that, I meant, what purpose does this serve Garrett? When you think about it, there's really no reason for him to
do all that surgery on Morris' corpse, travel to the future, steal Frankenstein's heart and bring Amanda back. None of those things is directly interfering with his primary need of getting in, getting loot and getting out, as well as saving Basso and Jenivere. . which as it turns out you can't even save them in this FM :weird:
This is definitely one of the strangest Fms I've ever played, but that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy myself. I had a blast sneaking around, doing all the odd little things, finding secrets and especially
killing all the baddies for the loot that was hidden inside them! One final thing that perplexes me, but in a good way: I got a pumpkin. What the hell do I do with it? Was there somewhere in the mission you could use that pumpkin? Every time I'd cycle through my inventory and see it I'd laugh. I was really hoping it was going to be something you'd have to use to have to save the world and win the game, or something. :cheeky:

Congratulations, darthLair!
Halloween mission, indeed, with a lot of new creepy creatures, and jewellry.
I was impressed by Edgar Poe's poems, it seemed that "Lenore" was the first one to
make sense to later actions. At Garrett's place I would bring Amanda back to life either,
nevermind what would happen. Was ready to fight her, but someone did it instead (Frankenstein?Dr.Morris?)
Bug: fridge with the body in morgue. After re-load the door did'nt open.
Lucky, I've managed to pick the body "through" the closed door, but never it worked with
the meet.
The Lord of Death was the scariest thing. I killed a monster down in the prison, then another one,
and thought t'was all. And after that IT appeared!
Also, I liked to return back to future!

Thanks for playing Lady Taffer, It is strange, as it is supposed to be : Here is Garrett's Reason for
Indulging in Dr.Morris/Dr.Frankensteins Experiments: If you listened to Dr.Morris in the beginning before he electrocutes himself, and read the lab journal, Garrett was interested in the profit potential of being able to scan a brain to reveal secrets of Wealth, since Garrett is into the Wealth bit.And....not all stories in the real world end with happiness. The threat of losing your life is real, and death is the reality. The
Pumpkin can be dropped from inventory, but it is only the pumpkin that you stole from the Scarecrow, and it was his prize to do what he wanted with it, not yours.darthsLair on 19/11/2012 at 14:44

Thankyou Aithena, Glad you enjoyed it. If you were playing version 1.2, then there is a solution to
open the morgue door using your sword or blackjack. Dr.Morris evil wanted to kill Amanda, as he originally murdered her 25 years ago. On the meat:
Read the open bloody fingprinted book to the left of the bottle of poison, and the explanation is in there. You use the bottle of poison on the Steak.Lady Taffer on 19/11/2012 at 22:34

I must have missed that part too. I did find the volume on some of the voice acting to be a bit too low to hear very well so there's probably many things I missed. I may have to play it again.
I still kind of wish the pumpkin had turned out to be something super important you had to use to save the day, but no matter.
At least I thought the scarecrows complaining about Garrett stealing their corn was hilarious. :cheeky:

Finally I got it ..... a very strange and confusing FM ..... but I had a lot of fun .... I love scarecrows except the one with the pumpkin :-)
By the way ..... is there a list of all the secrets except the 13 mentioned in the scroll of the caretaker ???
I got 16 or 17 out of 22 (yes I know thats a bug ... but :confused:)

The
List in game is the only one. Cecil wrote it so he wouldn't forget to someday come back and gather his Hammerite toys. Thanks for playing, glad you had some fun. The
Pumpkin was an unofficial prize, but mainly what the ScareCrow valued.downwinder on 20/11/2012 at 18:30
