I wonder why the bra was changed to a "clean, white shirt" in the MI2 Lite mode? You can just find it on his bed instead of having to get it from Mad Marty but it's strange they bothered to add a whole different item instead of just using the bra. Having said that, perhaps players finding a bra in his messy room might assume it belonged to a woman he was with.

To sort of hark back to Escape being a more suggestive game; as a Brit I find this line way more amusing and rude than the American writers intended 😁

I tried but couldn't figure out how 🤔 Hopefully someone else can!

I've been playing through EMI and noticed more suggestive stuff than in the other games. There's also "Hey! Check out that pair of floatation devices." which could be innocent if he didn't say "No. Elaine probably wouldn't like that." when you try to pick them up. There's also the naked lady picture in the Scumm Bar.

😲😲😲 I'd be interested to read why since it's my favourite! I generally feel the same as you about the relationship (but my perception of it might be coloured by the fact that I first played when I was quite young and didn't really 'get' the romantic stuff). Definitely think Elaine was hoping Guybrush would say what she wanted/needed to hear in Revenge and was hurt when he asked about the map like a dope.

Has anyone else started to panic that they're not going to finish their MI re-playthrough before Return is released? 😅 As for the relationship between Elaine and Guybrush; I never had the feeling he chose the map over her in Revenge, just that he went about asking for it in a clumsy way and at an unfortunate time. If some of Return is set between Revenge and Curse, perhaps we will see their relationship grow and fix the potential story arc that @Vainamoinen has pointed out. It's really good! 👍

I quite like the idea of it being down to voodoo actually. I'm not keen on the name though so I'm trying not to think about that bit too much! But, like you say, we don't know the context yet.

The islands have all been quite close together in previous games. Do we think Guybrush will have to travel a bit further to get to Brr Muda considering the weather difference? That's funny, I was just typing my post about travelling further when you added yours!

My guess is that they're going to show us the map of an island next. Er, no I don't. The only slightly relevant discussion I can remember is the one about why 69 is a pervy number. Don't think anyone has fully explained why yet🤔

Look behind you, a three-headed monkey!

The new game absolutely has to be pixel art and if it's not it will be totally ruined! 😠 Oh no, wait... The new art looks really cool and is making me even more excited to play the game. Now that's a plot twist I wasn't expecting considering what a nostalgia-loving-change-o-phobe I am 😁 In other news... I've never been keen on Escape but your comments have made me look forward to playing it again and being open to enjoying it even more this time! 👍 Also, hello everyone 👋 I'm new and I've just read through this whole thread. Right, back to your interesting discussions.
