Quote:You can't try to explain it more understandably? If it's important to your case... and that paragraph really doesn't make much sense.
It's a lot easier to explain vocally. The paragraph makes sense if you have a rough idea of what I'm talking about.
Quote:I think I had said something similar...
No, you didn't. That's not even remotely close to what we were talking about.
Quote:Adventure game puzzles and logic do not always connect. Hopefully they do, but just as often they don't make much sense at all... which makes the games hard and irritating at times. Still, I love the genre.
But some simple logic applies. Don't do anything to jeopradize inventory items without saving recently so that if nothing happens you can load because in general there is not a useless inventory item. Similarly don't drop items, if the game allows it.
There's no consistent logic in most of those games, and you have to use abstract thinking in a world full of arbitrary rules.
