Oh, so that's how the tracking dart works. I suppose that's... at least a little useful? Doesn't say much about lines of sight on the compass rose, but you take what you're given I suppose.

I spy with my little eye a great LP!

I'm late to the party, but I'm happy to catch this before it's ended. I love both NOLF games and enjoyed the last LP so I'm pleased to come back to check on the forums to see this gem is happening<3

All that said I have some quick silly doodles because that's just what I do.


Cate got buff between games. I'm all for her just lifting and tossing lil buggers around.


Sure they go and retrieve Cate Archer, but do they grab Yamata, too? NooOOOooo. Poor guy had to get back to base all by himself.


With all the lipstick (among other things) Cate finds all over the place it's a shame there's no conversation about it. Lipstick is pretty good at helping chapped lips and all, which would totally be a problem in the cold.


I mean, sure she might be able to smell it, but it's cold and her nose is most likely compromised so tasting it would be the next best option. Cate's nothing but thorough about her findings.


All the civilians are just labelled friend in India and just <3<3<3

:swoon:

Oh man oh man I love this entire post. This is my favorite post. Glad you're enjoying the LP so far!

They need the floor space for the spontaneous dancing that always happen during Bollywood showings.

It's nice how in this game that reading files moves you to the next one in the series, rather than having each one fixed in location. That way, regardless of the order, as long as you find them all, you get the whole thing in the right order.

Maybe the HARM guys are only shooting at Cate because the order is to kill her and they don't know Armstrong is involved.

NHO posted:

The bombs went off inside and they're really not powerful enough to level the place. Which Cate wouldn't do anyway since that would endanger the people outside the building. Remember how small the blasts were in previous situations? It's just to wreck and sabotage the interior to send a message.

This is a great level. The supense it builds is top-notch. It's got a great atmosphere. You know something bad will happen, and you're just waiting for the shoe to drop. Then you get the objective "Escape Alive."

Something I noticed a couple videos back - one of the Indian goons carried a "statue of Durga, goddess of happy marriages." She's... really not, although given the family life of the typical HARM goon they would probably think so.

Also Pierre is fantastic and this game will forever hold a place in my heart for letting you shoot mimes.

I appreciate that he is not simply an assassin who is a mime, nor a criminal with mime theming.

I appreciate everything this stage did to have you jump at shadows. And then, the boom.

Are they going to try and... like, sink the base or something? Did they build it on an ice shelf or is there actual continent underneath it? I mean, the responsible thing to do is be able to destroy an experimental facility with a minimum of effort, but since when has anyone ever mad scienced responsibly?

There's most likely proper land underneath it. The game mentions how it's a two hour flight south of... something.

Having not played this game, I'm going to guess one of our future objectives is getting Abby to come talk her dad down from a murderous rampage.
