You cannot find the real killer. John Sawyer´s ruined the game for me...

There is a room for Killer DLC.

Lol, what would be something. Find out who the killer is with this 20 dollar DLC!

There was a game that had the real ending behind a DLC, but can't remember what game it was now.

In what way Rahdulan ?

Not having a killer sucks.

That's why I'm asking. Gut reaction is "this guy needs everything spelled out to him", but it's not a meritless complaint. I'm not sure if I want a game going the way of an inept Dungeon Master all "uhghhh, yeah guys, that's the killer, you figured it out" when they catch him unprepared.

It's supposed to make you think.

There was a discussion about this in this thread some time ago, not sure what the consensus turned out to be. But personally, having a detective story with you as the "detective" without a killer seems like some serious blue balling.

Chris Avellone is the killer!

White March DLC was a killer, in a sense it was very good. Maybe Obsidian is playing with wurds here.

Multiple DLCs even, each with its own killer.

Multiple DLCs even, each with its own killer.

Every subsequent Killer DLC will have a killer who kills the real killer in previous DLC. In the final DLC, the player kills the killer and becomes the final killer.

 

[Pound Meat]

The real killer was the friends we made along the way.

Don't give them ideas now. Pick your own killer DLC.

Murder is a social construct, bigot.

"a game"? It's something done regularly now.

Sawyer learns from the best.

What does it mean that this game had another producer than Sawyer? I thought this was his project 100%.

Now this is postmodern game design. There are no facts, only perspectives. All that matters is your subjective experience.

There are facts, but the characters in the story will never learn them. You can examine all the evidence through multiple playthroughs and make the best call.

Best call at what? Nothing you do matters.

Best call at what? Nothing you do matters.

Best call at accusing and convicting the most likely suspect. And yes, this is a Josh Sawyer game, that's a given.

Likely a people manager / pencil pusher role.

Moonmist featured four possible "ghosts", determined by entering your favorite color at the start of the game:

Of course, this was a fairly simplistic text adventure game, and the different possibilities existed to create replayability.
