"My description was just to say there are other ways the quest can be done successfully. Even following the same procedure, apparently there is no guarantee everything will go well. I don't know what the problem was in this case." [color:"orange"] [/color]

I agree.There probabily are ways to complete it successfully,but with so many people having completed the game several times nobody is able to present a procedure that does guarantee everything will go well.And if it goes wrong it's unclear what caused it.I think ,for this small part of the game, that qualifies as poor desing.


"The length of this quest makes it relatively easy to do things out of expected order. This is the main, though not exclusive, cause of it being broken. " [color:"orange"] [/color]

Again I agree.I would think that the problem is that it consists of a line of quests with three different questgivers (Trevor,Marcus and Robin),which are badly integrated.I hope they avoid that in <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beyond.gif" alt="" />.After all, they could still try something similar even within a single smaller act.
