The silver scale: delivery spot

Post by JaSP »

In "The silver scale", it is too hard to find the mermaid when playing in horizontal screen; I believe this is a bug. I would fix it by displaying phrase "This seems to be a very strange place." in the beach before having the scale.

Please define "too hard". What do you mean? Why is it too hard?

I consider that it is too hard according to my experience during my first play. I had to look for a hint in the forum.
I went to the river troll's bridge as my first reaction, but I completely forgot the hidden tiny beach because there was nothing special about it. The way north of Loneford was unexplored, so I went looking for the mermaid or clues near Brimhaven or from the wise woman supposed to be far in the northeast. I gave up when the search became insanely difficult.

So it has nothing to do with the fact that you are holding your phone and horizontal mode.

Being "hard" to complete is not a bug.

I would have spotted the beach in vertical mode.
Anyway, this is about fairness. Being "hard" is not a bug; "too hard" is, I believe.

We discussed this yesterday and have decided to give a little bit more of a hint in the dialogue with the NPC.
