PQ4 question ...

[Rath Darkblade]

... all right, so I've done the alley scene, the first scene at the Parker Centre, and the scene at the County Morgue.

At the Morgue, I:

- showed my badge to Sherry;
- entered
- talked to Russ
- got Bobby Washington's personal belongings,
- talked to Sam, and
- clicked the notebook on Sam and on Hickman's head.

Is there anything else I need to do at the Morgue? I tried to leave, and clicked the "Hand" on my car, but the game just says "Leaving?" and won't let me leave.

Have I missed something?

[notbobsmith]

Have you spoken to Sam? He has a lot to say.

[Rath Darkblade]

Yep, I've spoken to Sam. He told me lots. But the game still won't let me leave.

[notbobsmith]

Did you pick up Hickman's belongings? They should be next to Bobby Washington's.

[Rath Darkblade]

Hmm - I don't know. I think I did? Let me check. Oh dear ... no, I didn't. If I did, I can't find them in my inventory. And now it's too late, I take it? I went back and had a look, and I can't find them anywhere.

Sigh. I don't like this new cluttered "video" graphic (like the one GK2 used). It's so hard to find anything.

[notbobsmith]

They should be right next to Bobby Washington's in the room before the room where Sam is. Although I checked a Youtube video real quick and that player was able to leave the morgue without either package, so I'm not 100% certain that this is it.

I agree, the graphics do make it hard to spot what is an item you need versus regular clutter. The "drawn" graphics of other games make items stand out.

[Rath Darkblade]

Huh. I did pick up Bobby Washington's things and spoke to Sam, but was able to leave the morgue with no issue. But when I tried to get in the car, the game just says "Leaving?" and refuses to let me leave.

Darn it!

[notbobsmith]

Okay, I think I figured it out. To travel, click the "Map" button on the console. You don't use the "Hand" on the car.

[Rath Darkblade]

D'oh! You're right, notbob. Oops, I'm stupid.

Thanks for your help.

[notbobsmith]

Trying to use the car is a natural thing to want to try, and the game's response wasn't very helpful. Why not just make using the car another way to leave the scene? They went through the trouble of creating a response for choosing it, anyway.
