Finally, after three days of being stuck, I resorted to a walkthrough. Turns out, something's not right in the land of... Discworld.
Spoiler
Apparently, the reason I'm stuck is that I have to pick up some perfume. In saphires room, I turn into a wolf, collect and match the smells, and then turn to Lewton. Supposedly I should be able to pick up a perfume bottle from Saphires desk, but all I see is "cosmetics" which Lewton won't pick up.
I seem to have done everything else, and I'm just waiting for this one bottle of perfume which I can't find. Whuh???
Now I must go and hurt myself.
EDIT: Whoops. Spoiler tags!
erm, the spoiler tags didnt work......
Try looking at the cosmetics first and seeing if that triggers the object to "separate" itself from the "cosmetics". Otherwise, you may just not be finding it. A way to identify the place where it SHOULD be is to see the trail of her perfume.
And I HOPE "DN smells" isn't insulting the game, oh ye yuffy yuffy one. The work remains one of my best-loved, adored, cherised, and djagsfkasdhgickuwhygakhekhb-ed games ever. One of my favourites.
Tried it, tried it, tried it... I know the bottle that it SHOULD be, but it's just appearing under "cosmetics" and he won't pick it up.
Bastard game!
how can you be so hyper so early ???
I also gave in to a walkthrough and then gave up on Noir because it seemed no matter what I did I was stuck... Something was supposed to happen that never happened and the game never advanced so BALETED!
I didn't think it was a chronic problem as no one else [as in no one here and Dave Gilbert who is the only one I talked to about it really] had the problem
Well, I get fed up with the long winded and pointless conversations, that serve no purpose other than to be funny, and they don't even do that very well.
So I end up clicking through a lot of conversations, and I've noticed that if I do this that sometimes places that are supposed to appear on the map don't appear until the SECOND time I have the very same conversation. And once, when I picked up the note from Sapphire, I was told I'd found a new map location; I couldn't find it on the map so I returned to Lewtons Office, found the very same note and got the very same message over again, except this time it worked and the location appeared.
Which makes me think; what if I, at some point, something was supposed to happen and it didn't, but that part of the gameplay cannot be repeated like a trip to Lewtons Office could?
I know something like this happened to me in the first Discworld Game, which is why I stopped playing that; something to do with ink blobs.
Any ideas on how to get the goddamn perfume, anybody?
I can only remember "picking up" the smell of the perfume, not the perfume itself.
Really? Hmmm... But then I can't use the smell of perfume on the altar as he won't transform because of Malycsgnasdgsad.
Oh yeah, you need to trail the bugger by making him smell.
I suggest you go back to the sculpter's place and get irritated whilst waiting for his animation to end.
If you really want to lose your marbles, try doing it under windows 95 with an awesome 200mhz processer. To make it more fun, you could cook a roast while you wait.
Or you could not skip through the Goddamn fucking conversations!
Shouldn't this topic have been posted in the Hints and Tips forum?
But... it's not an AGS game!1
I am a notoriously bad judge of topic...
So like anyway.... THE FUCKING SCULPTING BASTARD!!!! I hate him. I hate that guy!!!
Also; Hints and Tips says it's for AGS games, Adventure Forum says it's all hings related to Adventures... perhaps I wasn't such a bad judge AFTER all?
I worked out how to do it. Had to check out the bottle in Wolf Form. There were way too many bits in the game like this, where you had to do things that you just do not ever think of doing. And the ending? Don't talk to me about the ending. Gyaahhh.
is that necessary LGM?
good lord...
