Captain Xero Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 I think my version of GF may have a bug of some sort in it. I vividly remember having a conversation with Domino in his office in Year 3, in which he revealed the evil plan a little, mentioning Hector, but I only saw it once, and have since been unable to access that conversation. Is this a problem anyone else has had? The patch didn't seem to do anything about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrik Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 Moved to game help, you'll probably get a better response. And I have no idea at all what could be causing that, sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scabb Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 I don't think there is one, unless you mean the cut-scene with Manny, Meche & Domino.. If you take out your scythe or whatever at a particular time though, Domino threatens you with a cigar and smokes his pistol. I'm not sure if this is a bug or intended.

C Shutt Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 No, there is a conversation. I had the same problem, but for me, the conversation was there when using the standard installation, but absent after I'd installed the patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Xero Posted March 28, 2003 Author Share Posted March 28, 2003 It seems to be one of those things you see once in a lifetime, and when it's gone it's gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scabb Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 Meh, I never actually played the part without the patch, my 700mhz "BEAST" needed Grim patching before I could pass Rubacava. I'm gonna check this out though, I wonder why they'd remove it? Plot holes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrik Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 Maybe someone could use SCUMM Revisited or something to get the lines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure the patch has any effect on it, I've played the game without the patch and been unable to access the conversation. I believe I may have been able to access it with the patch, as well. I used to have a transcript of the conversation, I posted it on the old LucasFans forum. I'm not sure if I have it on my new computer. If I do, I'll post it here.

C Shutt Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 Found it. This is a direct exerpt from the game's dialog transcript. Enjoy. INT. Domino's Office DAY Manny Domino. Manny DOMINO! Domino Taking your first coffee break already Calavera? Manny We got a score to settle, ese. Domino (sigh) You know, if I ever spoke to my boss Hector that way... Manny You killed my best friend. Domino The demon? Domino (sigh) Manny, you can use a demon as a driver, let him carry your messages, let him serve you food... Domino ...but you can't ever start thinking of them as friends, it's just not natural. Manny What are you doing out here on the edge of the world? Domino Oh, I know. I ask myself that every day. Domino But I'm going to train you, Manny, to take my place here, running this two-bit light bulb factory! Manny How can you keep little children in a cage? Domino Trust me, it's easier than keeping BIG kids in a cage. Manny Why don't you just sprout me like you tried to at Puerto Zapato? Domino That wasn't me, that was Hector. Domino He's so unimaginative, just wants to tie up the loose ends, you know? Domino But I believe, however, that you can be rehabilitated through honest work! Manny What makes you think I'm going to work for you? Domino Well, there's not much to do on this island if you don't work, take it from me! Domino And think about it--once I'm gone, it will just be you and Meche alone on this deserted island... Domino Don't tell me that prospect doesn't appeal to you. Manny I don't plan to be on this island for very long. Domino Manny, I have all the guns, I have all the transportation... Domino ...and I have all the brains. Domino What are you gonna do? Manny I'm taking Meche out of this dungeon. Domino Manny, before I found her, she spent a year out there in the Petrified Forest alone because of you... Domino By comparison, I'd say I'm keeping her pretty comfortable here in my, uh, "dungeon," wouldn't you say? Manny You and Hector set up a secret hideout to make light bulbs? Domino Oh, no, that's just a side benefit. Domino The real purpose is to have a place we can lock up all these old clients of mine. Domino Can't have good people wandering loose in the Land of the Dead... Domino ...telling everybody how we stole their Double-N tickets, now can we? Manny You stole all these people's tickets? Domino Okay, how much of this haven't you figured out, Calavera? Domino Copal would route all the good clients to me after he switched over their tickets to a secret holding fund... Domino I'd cover up the paper trail, and we'd make sure that the pigeon "jumped overboard" heh heh, at the Pearl. Manny I knew it! You WERE getting all the good clients! Domino I handled them all, except for Mercedes, who you hijacked from me in that ridiculous hot-rod... Domino Which I saw, by the way, last time I was in Rubacava. Domino I tell you Manny, hot rods like that just don't look safe to me... Manny So, it wasn't my fault Meche didn't get a ticket--you stole it! Domino Well, it's your fault she ended up in the forest, instead of here right away... Domino But I fixed that. Manny One ticket for you, one for Hector, how many more do you need? Domino Oh, Manny, we never touch the product ourselves! Domino We sell the ticket to unfortunate souls... Domino ...unable to lead moral lives because of the crippling amount of cash they were born into. Manny But you could just take the tickets and leave today! Domino We've found a way to make the Land of the Dead LIVABLE, why would we want to leave? Manny Nice island you got here. Domino Yeah the previous owners didn't know what they had here--let us pick it up for a song. Domino They scooped out all the coral they could reach with their crane, and then abandoned the plant! Domino But we knew we had what it would take to go the extra distance to the big reef. Manny Are you about to lecture me about the winning attitude again? Domino No! Domino Slave labor, Manny! Domino That's the real ticket to success! Manny Well, I gotta get back to trying to escape. Domino Ha ha ha. Hey, you do that kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZaXeriaw Posted March 30, 2003 Share Posted March 30, 2003 aaah, now I remember that, but after I installed the patch, I haven't seen it, but I remember it from the first time I played the game... That's wierd... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Xero Posted April 3, 2003 Author Share Posted April 3, 2003 That's the one. Thanks. I wonder if there's any specific thing that you have to do or avoid doing in order to trigger the ability to start the conversation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scabb Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 I emailed DoubleFine, and Schafer did actually give me a response. It's a bug; and it explains why a lot of people "didn't get" the Grim storyline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanspoof Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 Gee, that makes the plot seem a whole lot easier to understand! I never got it when I was playing it before! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverblue Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 Like you, when I first played it I did hear such a dialog, but when the patch is patched, you can't hear it no more by whatever you do. I just thought, if it not been deleted, as you say, it would spoil the whole plot. But when it's deleted, it made the plot of year 3 much more non-sense! Why the hack is coral-mining things correspond to the stolen-ticket crime?? At least, you don't need to delete it all, just leave the part explaining the coral should be good. Here I found some mp3 file containing the full version of the deleted dialog with domino http://home.alltel.net/cf14312/dialog.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
