Unofficial Patch 10.2 released!

[Pumma]

Lines 704, 705 and 885 in Nines dlg file has the same problem as lines 775 and 783 in Damsel dlg file (they are inaccessible in the plus version). I suppose they should receive the same treatment (I mean Nines as Damsel). It's related to the death of the werewolf. If the player has killed it the game does not recognize this.

A couple of questions:
didn't patches scrolls had the precedence on the patches (just curiosity)?
why Malcolm's bribe now is in Mercurio's house?

[Wesp5]

didn't patches scrolls had the precedence on the patches (just curiosity)?

Originally yes, but at the moment they can't keep up with the Release Candiates so I started doing them on ModDB too.

why Malcolm's bribe now is in Mercurio's house?

Someone on the German board argued that it would be very recklessly from the player to give Malcolm his real adress. Imagine he went to the police because of the attempted blackmail and they turn up in your haven during the day while you are asleep and open the window shutters to get some light in! Instant burning death :)...

You can also give two options in the dialogue, Mercurio house (safer but needs higher intelligence or whatever) and your house (which you'll receive a nasty visit from him and you have to manage to save yourself) 

[Malkav]

Yep, and surely Mercurio would be glad to help in your half baked extortion scheme...
"Yea, bring on those cops I avoided by not calling an ambulance..."

You can try making the game more "realistic" until it dies...

[Barabbah]

There's someone in Santa Monica we don't mind being harassed by the cops? 

Hint: go to 0:40 and try to recognize the voice....

"Yea, bring on those cops I avoided by not calling an ambulance..."

I was pretty much aware of this, but Mercurio is a ghoul and thus by far not as sensitive as the player who might not care about Mercurio anyway. Also I couldn't think off a better place, the original poster suggested the parking garage but would you drop money in a place where any bum could pick it up?

[Barabbah]

And if you blackmail Malcolm after you told all about Mercurio to the prince?

[Wesp5]

And if you blackmail Malcolm after you told all about Mercurio to the prince?

It wouldn't matter. LaCroix wouldn't be so stupid to kill him where he lives...

[Barabbah]

No, I mean, it's mercurio who receives the money and then he gives it to you in a dialogue? I have never tried to betray him and honestly I don't know if you'll do it lacroix makes sure he's dead, but if he disappears from the game who gives you malcoms' money?

[RandomString]

There are a lot of public places you can use to make a drop in Santa Monica. You can use the coffee shop, the pier, the diner, and the news stands. As for specific objects where it can be dropped into, that's up to you - in a worst-case scenario you can probably use some geometry as a hidden container ("tape the envelope under the bench", "place the money in the bathroom", etc.). Maybe you can even remove the invisible container after the quest is finished.

Just a thought. ;)

[Wesp5]

I mean, it's mercurio who receives the money and then he gives it to you in a dialogue?

No, you just have Malcolm hide it there because it's close to the clinic and easily accessable. We thought a lot of other locations but public ones like the Smoke Shop or the Diner have too many witnesses which might take the money too. Outside on the hub or the pier the cops are already patrolling. Also the player has to find the spot in the game and it has to be not too far away ;)!

[Barabbah]

Aaah now I get it :P
