Nightly Business [Spoilers]

[Tiomaco]

What exactly makes Oswald the real culprit? I stood near him at night waiting to follow him around for his shady deals and nothing so I resorted to save scum, pick all 3 suspects and wait for the result.

What's the "give" that tells us for sure it's him and not Siegfried just because he acts a little weird?

You get 3 reports from the guards, and Oswald is the only one who couldn't be observed at night on the day of the incident.

It's a logic puzzle, if you read the 3 reports logically Oswald is the only option.

You are indeed right. I read the reports and saw "morning", "afternoon" and "evening" for him, completely forgot about "night" as a 4th time of the day.

What I don't get is that, Xander (or what other bollocks name the gate guard has) tells you to frame Siegfried and if you do he gives you a Claw afterwards, which is obviously a token of sorts.

If you talk to Siegfried for the first time he will gibberish something about a very specific claw, as in code. Obviously he refers to the claw you receive AFTER you get rid of him.

This makes no sense at all, or does this claw has a use elsewhere later on?

God the writing in this game is just painfully bad... worst PB ever done. Very often the characters doesnt even make ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sense their lines are just all over the place.

The writing is fine: it's a logic puzzle. You elminate them via deduction until you've only one possible candidate.

Regarding the Claw: it's a specific marker for being in the thieves guild and one of three you can get via missions. Go to the Domed city with a claw & discover more. You get them via Katta or Rat as well (one / faction).

And... it does make sense.

Ok thanks for the info.

As for the writing, I meant the general dialouge not the quest logs of this quest.

Characters are repeating themselves or saying the same things in succession, lines are sometimes in wrong order or just plain dont make sense.

I dunno if it was 'lost in translation' or it is just as bad as it is. Never felt anything this off and im playing PB games since Gothic 1...

Im having a blast with the game nonetheless... if Im not facepalming :D
