Actually, the comment you get when putting on the X-ray glasses does hint at their purpose: "You put on the glasses. Suddenly, everything appears as though you were looking through a veil." This is the exact opposite of what I would expect a working pair of X-Ray glasses to do. It makes e...

Sorry to come back to an old issue, but I also have a problem with the X-Ray glasses. While I do agree that deliberately watching a woman getting changed like that should disqualify you, I didn't see any hint anywhere in the game that the glasses would actually do anything.

Sure it's possible to max the stats after doing this. I am currently playing through with a pure thief, and I dropped all my stats right at the start of the game using this method. At the moment (Sunset approaches - day 6), I have: Luck = 136 Weapon Use = 197 Dodge = 199 Stealth = 161 Throwing = 142...

However, I agree that parsers only "seem" infinite. I mean, you can say that only having 4 icons to interact with your world limits you all you want, but in the end you're doing all the things the parser would've let you done. I mean, sure, if you type in "f*** tree" or "ki...

I've been lurking here for a while, and I thought I would put in my two cents worth. ve been thinking about this some more. Whenever I've discussed adventure games with people I've noticed that they refer to the plot, characters they liked and situations that they enjoyed but they almost never refer...
