I just start the episode 3. When i load my sav, it ask me question from some of the previous game even from some quest i dont even started. Does it ask all these question even i have made all of the quest ?
As far as I can remember, when a save file is transferred from episode 2 to episode 3, the game asks the player questions only if the player hasn't completed some of the quests in episode 2. This is normal. After that you can check that all your in-game progress has been saved. Making sure is easy - just open the quest log (the yellow "notepad" icon).

There are two ways to start Marcus' Path in episode 3: load the appropriate save game or start a new game and choose the "Marcus’ Training" plot line. The Marcus' storyline currently run separately from the overall plot of the game. The same goes for the Path of Revenge. In any case, you need to load your main save file and keep playing with it in ep3. By "main" I mean a save file that contains a record of your game progress from the start of ep 1 to the "end" of ep 2.

I`m sorry, never mind about the end credits. This is how another quest with Marcus ends (from The Path of Revenge). But your save, which you claim you transferred from ep2 to ep3, looks like you started the New Game in ep 3 without playing the Ep1-Ep2. In the game quest log there should be more of these storylines (completed or not): SHINY HOLE, VICTORIA, REVENGE PATH, APARTMENT, MELANIE, DICK THE LAWYER, VIP ESCORT, STEVE, CLOTHING STORE, HOME, COLLEGE, GYM. Your quest log don't have any of them. That's very strange.

In general, I find it hard to imagine that you were able to skip so many story branches.:unsure: This is only possible if you start the New Game in Episode 3 and answer the game questions in a special way.

Yes, almost all quests in the game can be dropped, but there are exceptions to the rule. And assuming you've played a truncated version of Ep2 where the Bardi content has been removed and the Home/College storylines is (probably) disabled, I still don't understand how you managed to miss the Dick Lawyer storyline and especially Melanie storyline, which is closely linked to the main Office/Photoshoots storyline. We need Sherlock Holmes.

Did you start the game from the beginning of ep1 and then transfer the final save file to ep 2? Or did you play it in some other way? Please taking a screenshot of the quest log (in the Ep 2) from the save you later used to continue playing ep3 and then attach it to your post.

From the screenshots, your save file from episode 2 is OK. However, questions still remain. Several of the storylines (Office, Photoshoots, Philipp, Julia, Revenge Path, VIP Escort) are highlighted in white in the quest log, which means that you have NOT completed them. Try completing them completely (except the Revenge Path), save the game and start playing episode 3 using your save from episode 2. Also your Monica is in Marcus' prison cell in the process of an unfinished quest. I'm not sure if there's any of that content left in episode 3 and there might be an error because of that. So complete this "prison quest" in ep2 and then save your ep2 game in a "neutral" location like Monica's house (in the basement).

After transferring your "final" save from ep2 to ep3, your quest log should look exactly the same + new quests. So obviously something was done wrong, since in your previous post (where there was a screenshot of the quest log from ep3) a lot of those storylines weren't there.

After that, quit the game (ep2) and copy the entire save folder from episode 2 to the ep3 game directory.
\FashionBusiness-EP2.1-v16-Extra-pc\game\saves\ -----> \FashionBusiness-EP3-v6-Extra-pc\game\
If the system asks if you want to replace the files, agree. Once you have finished copying, start episode 3 and load your last save from episode 2. If after loading the save, the game will ask you to answer the questions, answer them (questions appear if the player has not 100% completed all storylines in ep2).

If/when in the process of answering the questions the game asks you to choose between the Main Plot, the Marcus Training and the Revenge Path, choose the Main Plot option. After completing the whole question answering process, open the quest log, it should be the same as on your two screenshots from ep2 + new quests will be added. If the game doesn't ask any questions and lets you play straight away, open the quest log anyway and check its contents.

I have a suspicion that the trouble with the incorrect game progress transfer may somehow be related to you trying to start the game in episode 3 from the save file where Monica is in Marcus' prison cell in the process of an unfinished quest. I'm not sure if there's any of that content left in episode 3 and there might be an error because of that.

Please read my post above again, I have updated the information. Regarding the "prison quest", why did you think there would be final credits at the end? Apparently you have the usual Marcus quest, it ends with Monica being set free and you can continue the game. Only Revenge Path ends with final credits (both in episode 2 and in episode 3).

I'll just chip in here. jeananonymous is correct. There is a final credits after the second prison visit in episode 2. I've also been getting some buggy results when I load a save from ep 2 from the second prison event with Marcus. What I suggest jeananonymous does is when starting ep3 when either starting the "main plot" or "Marcus's training" load the save you made just before entering the prison the second time in ep2. In my experience I've found the save transfers fine without any buggy behavoiur.

It does look as if you are loading a save into ep 3 with a save from ep2 that hasn't completed many events from some other paths. I'd suggest you go back to ep2 and continue ep2 from your save just before entering the prison the second time. Finish all the other paths events then come back and do the second prison visit as your last event in ep 2. Make sure you make a save before entering the prison. You can then either playthrough the prison event again or just load your newly made save outside the prison into ep3 and start with "Marcus's training". Either way you will need to use the save you made outside the prison for your new ep3 playthrough. This way the new Marcus scenes from ep3v6 become the first event of ep3. After finishing the Marcus event you will be able to continue with ep3 as if you are starting ep3 from the main plot tab.

It would be nice to simplify this somehow. Ideally, it would be good to make the content with the 2nd visit to Marcus from episode 2 be also available at the beginning of episode 3 (if you select the option after answering the questions) and then continue training with Marcus (Ep3v6 content). However, I'm not sure DM has time for that.

I have a question: do you remember if Marcus' Training quest ends with the final credits too or not? (in ep3). So far I've only gone through the Marcus content ( Ep3 v6) once and it's in my memory that there were final credits. I went through it through selecting the New Game--->answer questions--->Training with Marcus. But if you load the save file from the DM site, there in the final Marcus quest Monica ends up on the street outside the police station and the game continues.

but as far i know it's a game end like there was 2 game ends in eps1
I agree, it sounds logical. In fact, Training with Marcus in episode 3 is the same "no-return path" as the Revenge Path. Аnd both of those paths (at least for now) cannot be built into the main plot of the game.
