I wonder about that too. It's too much detail to be a throwaway.I missed the 3000 meters airport!Even assuming it is a kind of a strange conversion error and he wanted to say 3000ft to make it more "American", that still makes ~1000m.
...
It's really a strange thing to detail in the dialogues, though. It makes you even think that it is placed there because it will be used later on...
There are about a half dozen cities with elevations above 3000m (mainly in Peru and Bolivia), so while odd, not unreasonable.
Exactly how many of those are within 20 miles of the coast?
Nope, the trip took 25 minutes. Carl and Patricia showed up a few minutes later because they took a detour (to buy something unimportant)
That is nowhere in the script. The line is "I'm gonna call Steve and he'll be here in a few minutes."
I think you mean if they were on the opposite side of the city the trip would be longer? Either way, that's not the point.
Yes, should be 212 ft. Don't know how I ended up at 233... weird.
Not when the writer is looking for realism.
Grand indeed!Thereby giving us another dead horse to beat on our way to update v0.130 nirvana. Ain't life grand!
No idea of the exact distances from the city, but most of them were coastal. Personally I just think that it's more likely he meant 300m, but hasn't bothered to change it because it's inconsequential.

I am a game fan, but there are instances where it doesn't knock on the door of realism, story-wise. It seems to be waiting on the outside hoping for an invitation to enter. And, I'm not even sure how many of us come here to see 'real'. I think we come here to get lost in the moment, to escape reality and, have some fun. It's like reading a 'comic book'.

No he didn't mean 300m because Carl specifically says "Oh, and don't panic if you feel like you are getting a little air outside. The airport is 3000 meters above sea level."
Ah, in the route not taken you see the specific ten minutes.
Agree, we are going to continue to run into plausibility issues all over the place and that will continue because this thread, myself included, are going to continue to dissect everything in between releases.
Sure, but a good comic book should be consistent within the rules of its universe, its characters taking action and attempting to resolve inner and external conflicts in a manner consistent with who they have been up to that point without veering off the current trajectory of their evolution.Realism in a fictional game?

He's looking for just enough realism.Yes, should be 212 ft. Don't know how I ended up at 233... weird.

Only airport around 3000m in US is in Colorado. Central California coast geography makes the most sense. Pismo Beach to Santa Barbara. Airports are closer there (around 300M) That take that kind of aircraft and would match traffic and distance. This would mean that Carl is flying higher than a kite and they could probably smell it or sense it. This also explains Carl's state of mind in regards to the car choices. Could reveal more about Carl in general.
I did a little more research, and discovered there were two airports in Colorado at around 3000m elevation. And a mountain or two just north of LA with that height. So the more I look into it, the more feasible it actually seems to be.Only airport around 3000m in US is in Colorado. Central California coast geography makes the most sense.

Hold off on booking your trips though people. Even though Patricia's cars match some reported in the area. We have not found a match on any buildings or businesses there yet.
Exactly!I can't believe you guys made Lust&Passion see if the boots would fit in the bag.
Lust&Passion don't waste time on proving those kind of details. It's a story, if its implied she put her stuff on her bag 99% of people will be like "ok thats makes sense" or they won't even think about it.
Giving a dude who's OCD on these kind of details more wood to his OCD fire
Think we stumbled on something here.
