I just figure Ron kept bonking Marley over the head with milk bottles until he started behaving like the character we remembered.

No need to apologize. I tried again and could not get it but he mentions in Wally's room. Maybe he's just making it up (since he does not want to admit he likes doll houses) and he does not have a sister since at the end we only see 2 siblings.

Yeah, honestly it's just part of the gameplay. I never really understood people who use hintbooks for a graphic adventure game.

Yeah don't worry about it, Thimbleweed Park clearly paved the way in that sense. You can just pretend it doesn't exist and go the only respectable way old school way without hints. I wanna get stuck, bang my head against the screen, all those Monkey Island things I'm so fond of.

I'm fairly confident it will be inobtrusive after playing thimbleweed park, my first playthrough I didn't even realize there was an inbuilt hint system, I had seen the "hint-line" flyers around but payed them no mind only to realize later that it was a legit in-game hint system.

New interview with Ron and Dave at arstechnicha Interesting quote from the end: This, to me, hints towards a time skip at some point and maybe we eventually play as an older more experienced Guybrush. Maybe even a Jaded or grumpy one, though I'll admit those last two are wild guesses

Iirc I saw Ron posting a comment under the tweet about Herman being just Herman instead of "Grandpa!" here. That's to be expected though considering when the game takes place and the fact that EFMI was an obvious retcon compared to his backstory in SoMI.

I don't know how to put this any more clearly--they aren't putting the voice back in because they don't want to. Nothing you say about how easy you perceive it to be is going to change that, because the thing stopping them from doing it isn't that it's hard. It's that they don't want to do it. You wanting them to do it won't change their minds, because again, the thing stopping them isn't that they thought nobody would want it. It's that they don't want to do it. What that means, ultimately, is that they're not going to do it, and you are not going to convince them to do it. Believe me, I'm upset that Titus Welliver couldn't make it back for the Deadwood movie, but no amount of complaining on my part could ultimately alter the fundamental physical reality that he didn't want to stop filming Bosch to go do it. Considering the fact that you yourself just ran through a list of options that you personally have--RIGHT NOW, at THIS VERY MINUTE--to play the game with the voice acting you want, and that Skunkape themselves made the originals available at NO EXTRA CHARGE, all you're coming across as is a spoiled kid who views it as a grave injustice that he can only have 97% of what he wants rather than 100%. You're not getting the thing you want, and that's not going to change. I implore you to learn the lesson the rest of us picked up when mom told us we couldn't have ice cream for breakfast and move on with your life.

Oh, Herman has his original voice actor too:

I should also point out there's no VGA version of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade that has the copy protection included - the VGA DOS version and the FM Towns version both shipped without the room used for the copy protection in the EGA version (92.LFL).

The sister bit is definitely a joke about Guybrush not wanting to admit he had a dollhouse growing up. "Reminds me of a dollhouse I used to have...I mean, my SISTER used to have."
