I just got this screen in the White Wolf for the first time ever! It's what happens if you're outside at 5:30 and trying to travel to a location, while the weather is breaching into 'dangerously cold' zone. Nancy shows your this beautiful sunset, says she's heading back in, and then you're teleported back to the lodge. Love that for her. Our responsible girl.
One of the things I love about what I think of as the "Golden Era" of ND games is that they don't spoon feed you every tiny detail. Sure, they make sure that you're aware of the major plot points and over explain some of the important things, but there's a lot of things that are never mentioned and you'll never catch unless you're REALLY paying attention.
For example, in ICE, you can tell from the first conversation you have with Guadalupe that she's lying about why she's at the lodge. She makes a list of all the birds she's observed during her stay, but then if you compare that to the migration charts on the lodge computer, you'll find that a lot of those birds aren't in even Canada during the Winter.
Ergo she's either a very bad bird-watcher orlooking at something else through those binoculars. It's not an important detail, and you eventually find out everything about her anyway, but it's the kind of story building that makes for a really immersive experience and allows you to be the detective, not just follow a story.
demolition companies do demolition...construction companies do construction (opposite of demolition lol). There are no carpenters out there who sometimes blow buildings up i promise you those are two completely separate skills and fields
i'm imagining bill's notebook being like "nancy works as a maid, which sometimes involves cleaning chemicals, which sometimes involves anesthesia" bc like...no babe it doesn't lol
Just unlocked a whole new event in ICE, which I've played many times.
Usually, by the time I get to Tino's stupid survey, Guadalupe is gone already and I have to call her and ask the questions. This time she was still at the lodge and so I was able to ask her about the planet she identifies with in person.
Well turns out, if you do this, a BULLET falls out of her pocket as you are walking away, and you can have a conversation with her about it. She doesn't admit to anything, but it's a scene I've never seen before. Has anyone else come across this one?
