Glitches at the very end of the game and in ShopR. A few other things (edited with more)

[avengah6]

A couple of things, really. Jupp says you earnt most of your money legally even if you didn't (I sold loads of drugs and accepted a few bribes in this playthrough), and he says you bought an illegal rhino head even if you didn't. I edited the save file and discovered that if you don't accept a single bribe and don't buy the rhino head, he says you didn't buy it. It seems selling drugs above the threshold has no effect, unless I'm misunderstanding how it works. The drugs threshold is 5 but I don't know what that means. 5%? 5x cash earnings? £5? Either way I think selling drugs makes no difference as things are. But accepting a single bribe makes Jupp think you bought the rhino head. The maximum score at the end is +23 but I don't know what the minimum is because it seems the drug penalty is unobtainable. It should be -28 but it could be -23 for that reason. Scores +/-20 and beyond just display at the end of the bar.

He said I avoided all but essential London Wall jobs, but I became Head Doorman of the London Wall in Chapter 2 (I didn't get the mug, though; I did 4 days of the Resistance Bar and 3 days of the optional London Wall missions, so maybe something different happens if I get the mug or if I do ALL the London Wall optional missions? EDIT: After testing, you get penalised for doing more London Wall jobs at the end - I think you have to do at least 3 optional jobs and I only did 2).

The clothes section of the ShopR app always shows the "new" red ! by every section except the one you most recently visited. It also shows the red ! by the Stuff section sometimes and it won't go away until later in the game, when you've unlocked (but not necessarily bought) more things. The Halo hat is missing from the shop. Is there a reason it was dummied out? There doesn't seem to be a reason for it to be missing; it's supposed to be in the Hats section at the bottom for £100.

I think the House Party in Chapter 1 counts towards getting Head Bouncer of the House Party in Chapter 3, which is not a bad thing as it makes the poison quest slightly easier. I was disappointed that my health carried over (sort of) from Chapter 2, though - at the end of Chapter 2 I had 36 and at the start of Chaper 3 I had 77, and a day off gave me +21 at that time and +16 at the beginning of Chapter 3, so I can only assume it gives an extra 20 at the start of Chapter 3. But I thought health should reset after a chapter break of a couple of months. Starting Chapter 3 with 100 would mean you'd only need to skip a single day in Chapter 3 to still win (barely), as long as you bought all useful flat upgrades as soon as possible. For that reason, it may be beneficial to take an extra day off near the end of Chapter 2 to not need an extra one in Chapter 3 when the rewards are better. I'll have to look into it more in my next playthrough. I do know that I didn't manage my health as well as I could have done in Chapter 2, but I don't think it made enough of a difference to make me take an extra day off. I'll try to manage it perfectly next playthrough.

If you get exactly 0 points at the end of the game, you get a positive response from the judge but the untrustworthy Euro ending. The ending cutscene has a couple of graphical mistakes: the dog gets stuck at the left, and the reflection in the floor is wrong, for the election day. (In fact, on the election day itself, the reflection isn't quite right, some of the signs are in the wrong place.)

The cutscene of the explosion (and maybe the intro cutscene too) don't display properly on older hardware. The video files themselves play fine in Media Player Classic, so the problem is elsewhere. But if you press Esc during the video, the game softlocks after the video ends with a black screen.

Right at the very end, the final mission where you have to let that final guest list of 8 into the King's Head, nothing happens whether you admit or deny them. You have to wait until the mission ends at 00:03 only for it to go straight to the credits screen. Apparently, an earlier version had it end with a "Game over, man, game over" shortly after the 8th person; you didn't have to wait till the end. Now it just says "Closing time!" like a normal night. The night has a flyer that says 1/2 pages, but clicking the bottom corners doesn't change the page.

When starting a new game, if you don't move the Voice selector, it defaults to the left of the bar even though it starts on the right of the bar. So if you want the right of the bar you have to move it left and back again.

Just a small QoL improvement request: please make it possible to click the Guest List when not dealing with the Guest Queue. Sometimes when playing quickly, I might move to the left before ticking off the name (which I don't always bother doing, especially if the list's two pages). In situations like that, if I am ticking names off, I have to remember the name until I move back right again when I can tick it.

On the same token, playing with a laptop touchpad is slower than playing with a mouse, especially on an old laptop where the touchpad doesn't work very well. Clicking on things takes longer, so clicking on a reason for denial doesn't end up saving time over just denying without a reason, given the time taken to move the pointer etc. This could maybe be improved by having people leave the queue more quickly if given the correct reason. As things stand now, they still have a 25% chance of pushing back even with the correct reason, as opposed to 50% without, so if they push back anyway, it's a complete waste of time. Maybe the pushback chance should go to 0% with a correct reason.

I think it might be nice to have Galahad turn up in the Resistance Bar eventually, say if you do all six missions, so there's a chance of legitimately using the Spy Kit. I tested adding it to my save and using it earlier in the chapter, and it is almost fully functional as an easter egg (the one mistake is that if you have the Optional note about the Spy Kit, that doesn't disappear when you give it to Galahad).

EDIT again: There's a problem with the inventory as well. You can't rearrange items in your bag. If you try, it will only be temporary and won't save your changes, and you may even end up with two items (temporarily) in the same slot if you try rearranging things just before getting a new item.

Sometimes the Scan & Ban doesn't work. In particular, if I've checked someone's documents and they're fine, I don't need to check them again but sometimes selling them candy or a drink in the DLC stops it working until you drag the documents out again. I think it should work once someone is talking to you and not need you to drag the documents out first.
