I'm glad you found my profile amusing. :D The part about where I am is actually accurate. This week, I'm in USA, last week in Korea, three weeks ago in China. In December I was in Plovdiv, Bulgaria and expect to be there again very soon, so was curious to ask where you're from. I didn't want to sound like a weird stalker, though. :p

Is the evidence selected using "[" or ]"?
Did the other inventory items work? (Doll and letter)
Are you using the book and not the letter?
Sorry if these are obvious. I'm just trying to get information on why two items would work and one won't. :confused:

What a wonderful mission, so far !
Although I am not fan of sneaking, this one was real fun !
I have a problem, though:
I am playing on Expert and all objectives complete except for obtaining 3 Special Items.
For sure I have the
Skull from the chapel, the
Scales from the meeting room and the
alarm-protected vase (Canoptic Jar).
They all show up in my loot-inventory.
Still the stats say :
Quote:
2/3 special items obtained
When I picked it up I wondered why that one did not trigger some text to be shown on screen.
Is this a bug ?
3 more questions:
- There is a
chest in the room where you call
the Courier.
Is there any key for it ?? Sounds like there is something interesting inside, that no one should know of.
- Also I read about the other chest
in the store room on the first floor. So, this one is just for decoration ?
- There was a statement, that after visiting the
Meeting room, there would be a switch to open
the passage to the meeting room again. Where exactly is it ? I wonder if I missed a key there somewhere (maybe on the Couriers belt?).
Thanks !

Those are the three special loot items, so there must be a bug. Which one of the three didn't trigger a special loot message? Do you have a save from before taking that loot so you can test it again for me?

Originally, I wanted to give the player a choice to reveal betrayal to either Mercier or the Over-Warden. The evidence needed to deliver to Mercier was to be in that chest, but T3 scripting language made setting "Either/Or" goals very impractical, so I had to drop that idea. The chest remained, but there is nothing useful in that room anymore.

The other chest is just a decoration. (I should have made it not highlight. :p)
The switch to open the door after following the courier is
in the wardrobe in the throne room. The stairs are directly behind it.nomad of the pacific on 23/2/2011 at 03:36

1. Ensure you have the correct T3Main.exe file installed; the one that comes with GarrettLoader.
2. Try reloading.
I agree this is a very annoying problem. :p It would be great if someone could find a way to fix it permanently!

Sorry, I did not make it clear.
It is the vase. But I can reload and retry later today.
Thanks for the explanation!

The
Incriminating Evidence looks like sheets of paper and needs to be delivered to
the Over-Warden by dropping it in a drop box for the courier to deliver.The
Journal looks like a book and needs to be delivered to
Councilor Gravius by dropping it on the desk.
