Hey guys,
Iv'e created this topic because I found nowhere to exchange with other players for hints and to help each other out through the game. So, I know many downloaded the demo and pre-ordered the game like me but I'm already stuck somewhere haha.
I'll start with playing darts with Hasim (at Ammon's bar) and the vent. First, Hasim always wins, even it seems you beated him. Which is weird, and I thought it was the vent maybe but I can't seem to fix it (I tried to go in the hallway, etc.)
Secondly, do you understand the Analysis Data Points? I tried MANY times to change one option but it keeps telling me that not everything is right. But it could take forever doing this, so do you have a hint or a way to that faster? (Also, it's a bit slow moving the mouses in game... so it even longer to do XD)
Have a good night playing the demo ;)

Oh well, I'm answering to myself lol! For those in the same situation, I found in the back alley wires behind the crates, connected them, turned on the light, then moved the crate, etc.
But still, i don't quite get the Analysis Data Points... ???

If the mouse is moving slowly, try picking a different quality setting when launching the game. Playing it on the "Fantastic" level does look the best overall, but may be a bit much for some systems to handle without the cursor or characters slowing down a bit.

Hi, there.  Yes, if the cursor is slow, try saving, restart the game and choose the setting "Fastest". 

It looks like you got past the dart puzzle but are stuck on the analyze of Hassim and Saa?  Below is some help.

[spoiler]Saa is an ex-con and Hassim is a conman, greedy, vain. See if you can make headway with that. I believe completing their analyze is optional though. What you really need to do is beat Hasim at darts. If you haven't yet, you are still missing something important in the alley.  LOOK at the dartboard for a hint[/spoiler]

Ha great, it did help, thanks for the hint ;) (because I'm too stubborn to have a look in the hints section in-game on the cellphone, it gives me too much informations, I like some challenge ^^)
Does completing the analysis gives you something more, maybe in conversations or else? Or it's an extra so add something to the scenario?
(Well, it did change the way I answered Hasim after.. I forgot about the security since he's a conman X( ...)

Jane Jensen

Yes, often those analyze puzzles will give you new dialogue choices.  In a few cases they are required.  In the case of Hasim and Saa they are, yup, a hint about what to do or not do with them.

By the way, you CAN play through ch 2 three different ways based on the choices you make -- in case anyone wants to figure that out. ;-)

Oh that's nice because it adds to the game a ''facteur de rejouabilité'' we call it in french... a replayability factor?

Tazettae

I only just started playing, but I figured out the vent puzzle. And yes, 'replayability' is what we'd call it.

Hm. Now to find the other two ways....

Just finished my third meeting with Mr Masra, and had my third result. HA! What do I win?  ;D

What's being referred to up above is that there are actually three different ways to get through the fight scenario. There are three paths that can be taken to a successful finishing of the chapter.

Ahh. That, I've only done two of the three. I'm too soft-hearted, I guess. Can't bring myself to <spoiler>.

Hm. Edit to add that doing <spoiler> doesn't bring you to solution three. Now I have to keep trying to figure it out.

Continuity Error.

If you turn off the light in the alley before going to talk to H & S, perhaps because you're looking for the third way to handle the fight scene, someone comes along and turns it back on before the fight happens.


Edit to say that I've now found three ways to handle the fight scene and still successfully complete the chapter. YAY!

Did anyone notice Malachi has no eyeballs in his first headshot when he hides behind the dumpster ? Might want to fix that before release...
