its just you. I played this game from scratch 3 or 4 times now, and am going to again with the new honor system.
I never encountered anything like what you are describing. Never had an issue unlocking rose street etc etc.
There were a few minor issues that a quick reload fixed but thats it.
Sure. In fact I'm the only one reporting this kind of issues...
The
inability of unlocking Rose Street, by the way wasn't experienced by me but reported
by another commenter...
I experience in my latest playthrough the inability of triggering the Arctic Cafe renewal, nonetheless I met Paris and the Mistress in the Red Light District.
Problem that I did not have in the previous playthrough (for which I suspect that some bug is preventing the triggering of the event if the player achieves the quests in a particular order or if he skips too much time - the only time skip function I used is the built-in +2h, no external cheat nor console commands)
You have an axe to grind or dont like the developer. I cant think of any other reasons as those quests you mention are really easy.
Maybe clear temp files for your computer and the game before restarting. Its just you and your version and instead of trying to figure it out you come and rip at the game unjustly.
I used the latest version on a brand new computer because the previous one ceased to operate... so I had to re-play from scratch, so no: neither temp files nor old saves can be the issue.
About
me not liking
grinding, I already
explicitly and
honestly stated that this is just
my personal preference and
I'm not debating that.
I
do like the game for its
story and
graphics, otherwise I wouldn't bother playing it, let alone reporting bugs.
