Fuck it then. For another pit sandwich and some 'tater salad, I'll post a few more.



Oh yeah, also - in the middle of the thread, someone mentioned talking to Lilliene's twins about Ruby and sending a Speedfreaks message to Kim? I can't seem to figure out how to do so - even without Kim, the twins just say they're not supposed to talk to strangers.

I went through all of this. You have to go around and talk to other people, including looking at stuff around the building northwest of the fishing village. You should have some kind of a quest show up. You may need to also talk to the old women. I did all this poo poo with Kim because Kim is my bro so you can do it with Kim in the party.

Yeah, I've got the "ask about Ruby around the village" quest. Asking the twins while Kim is there just has him interfere and say it's not going to be useful.

But see, that's not at all what you're advised to do in the post you're quoting.
Ah. That doesn't work. Examining the note is turned off during the pre-tribunal and when Kim is shot, though at no other time.

So now there are only two things to figure out - whether you can drink the spirit bomb and whether you can electrocute yourself by trying to fix the waterlock.

No, that is literally what I did because I was having trouble with the pigs not showing up. I'd tried waiting a day, but she still didn't show up. While I was on the pier where you find the working class husband I did a quick save and quick load. She was then in her usual spot.

Rereading, OP seems to potentially have had a different problem, however I don't think there's an issue with her not showing up if you're in the "zone." Evidence here is that Trent despawned after it got dark when I moved out of vision. The map will change dynamically as long as you aren't staring right at it.

Might be easy to miss, but when you investigate the trash container Kim picks up and bags a shirt and pants- he specifically mentions the belt loops- that presumably belong to the hanged man.

Ok, maybe we don't understand each other. I've completed the game several times and my problem doesn't involve finding Ruby. Someone said that the twins will mention radio messages, which will prompt you to contact Speedfreaks FM.

It's something that's opened up by that check failure, from what I've read.

Yeah that quest unlocked for me after failing a check (probably the clearest example I encountered of the game making you fail-forward.) From my memory: You fail the really hard Shivers check to figure out poo poo while staring at the side of the building, and then there's a much more achievable either Shivers or Inland Empire check to contemplate what's going on, which makes you think of what's up with the kids, and starts an arc where you, among other things, end up talking to Speedfreaks FM.

To be fair it's a check most players would fail on their first game. I missed it on my TFC playthrough because I ignored the wall until I'd done all the quests that give bonuses so I had a 97% chance.

Can I just say, I ignored Esprit De Corps on my first 3 playthroughs but jacked it all the way on my latest and it's an underrated skill. It adds so much texture to the world. I think my favorite skills are Inland Empire, Shivers, and Esprit de Corps now because they are the World Skills, for lack of a better term: skills that talk about the world beyond your immediate perception. I love when they pipe up with something obscure from far away.

Finished the game yesterday. Thought I'd done a pretty exhaustive 40 hour playthrough until I read the last couple pages of this thread. Holy crap! It's a testament to this game's quality that I'm already thinking about putting in another 40.
