Romping through HK again, it's time to meet up with ol' Gordon Quick and Max Chen at the Lucky Money for some drinks. Before I even get to the door of the Lucky Money, Ling comes out to me and says, "Same guy twice in one night...not allowed". I'm like, "What is she talking about." So I right click on her sexy butt to see what she's got to say next and she says, "Satisfied? Yes?". So I'm like, "Oh, she's a hooker." Funny thing is, I never even spoke to her before.

So I continue through the doors and run to see ol' Gordon and Max, and we start conversating. About 30 seconds later I hear footsteps running up behind me...thinking it's MJ 12 again, I break out the shotgun and turn to face them. Crapola, it's ol' Ling...she runs up to me and says, "Same guy twice in one night...not allowed." I think to myself, "Then quit following me around." So I finish up with ol' Gordon and Max and am going to go swipe the credits where the lady takes the money for you to enter the club. I run down there and take the credits and when I turn to go back, there's ol' Ling again. It's at this point I realize, ol' JC put the smack down on that ***, but I wasn't there to witness it.

I run out of the club and to the exit of this level, you know where you can see out both sides of the little walkway your on, and you can see the water below. As soon as you cross this walkway the level saves, then loads up the Wan Chai Market area. So I'm sitting there enjoying the view, for the boat's cruising underneath me, and I thought that was a cool "attention to detail" they put into the game. Well, well, well, what do you know...here come those footsteps running towards me again. I look up, and yes, it's Ling. She stands there staring at me. At this point I started my own little chant, "Who da man? J...C! Who da man? J...C!"

When I crossed that invisible line that loads up the Wan Chai Market, well, she didn't follow, but it was cool nonetheless. I even went back to the Lucky Money again later, just to see if she was with another dude, or if she was waiting on ol' daddio to come back for her...what do you know...she come running out to meet me again.

Mad shout outs go out to the programming team on DX for making the game "just that more immersive" by giving us that little detail ;)

Master Villain: Your choice of words soooooooo reminds me of an X-Files episode, where electronic devices were making people kill each other, by having stuff flash up on their screens just like you said.

Anyways I killed her ass too. The "Same guy twice in one night...not allowed" line she kept saying as she kept following me around REALLY pissed me off after a while, so she got a taste of my blue flamey friend, Mr Dragon Tooth.

Personally, I just ignore her and/or move quickly enough for Ling not to catch up with me (or at least not too often).
I also do not consider this a bug: as far as I remember she only starts following JC after the Triads've united and therefore can be perceived as a "bonus" from Max Chen for our part in the, ahem, negotiations.

Oh, and I really love Hong Hong in DX. Have I mentioned it before? <small>Yes, I know I have.</small>:)

Yeah that popped into my head while I was typing it *S*



That would make sense, shame there's no mention of it.

/bumps old thread

waring minor spoilers...

In my first game Paul died, when i went back to the Lucky money, no dance girl followed me.

My second time though Paul lived, and when i went back to the Lucky Money she was there following me. I think someone mentioned that Paul had been there a little earlyer. I assumed she had danced with Paul and then thought i was him when i arived right after he left.

I donno if it actualy works like that, this was a few months ago... but that was my impression at the time.
