Did i miss something that I can't present any clues to Samarra once Primrose is in the cell?

For some reason i have been running around in circles in the game unlocked almost everything, but I cannot investigate for the scales outside in the alley, the only thing that i found there any any point was a woman when talking about the books before.

Thanks but it's a bit difficult when she's in the dungeon. I thought i was allowed to bring evidence afterwards? Or is it too late to collect? I saw her already when she was on the floor cleaning but i never connected to go investigate the alley, i inviestigated everything inside the library first

I can't investigate the alley.

I haven't played with her in dungeon, sorry. I guess there is explanation in walkthrough.
EDIT: no there isn't.
Dunno, go to alley and then to crone, see if you could get trails.

I looked into it but i couldn't find it, Maybe i'm just blind though, but i think i fucked it up with that, i was a lot slower than the walkthrough at playing through most things, wanted to play it my own way first, but when this happened i went into the walkthrough and couldn't find the same situation, it says to go talk to her in the tent and give clues but i have no option to do so, i already put the spell on her too, both of them actually with the small secrets, can't do the big one yet because im missing that alley clue

I can't investigate the alley.
The investigation will remain open regardless of whether or not Primrose is in the dungeon. You're probably missing something.

@ Here you go :)
I just had a look at your game. I think you might have stumbled upon a rather blatant logic error in the progression script, one that I'm amazed I didn't run into myself or receive reports about from others. Samarra's "Present a clue" dialog option only appears if a certain variable is below a set value, but it will always be above this value if Primrose is arrested. I must have missed this in testing by solving most of the case before Primrose was arrested. If you don't get the final clue from Samarra before she arrests Primrose, it appears you're out of luck. I'll create a quick fix for this in version 0.11. Sorry about the trouble.

AHA! I knew i wasn't crazy, too bad i spent like 3-4 hours trying to get past and turn on every rock. Happy to have assisted in some bug killing though, Is there a specific value i can flip with a save editor to get past this? Eager to see what I have missed...

It's kind of a high-risk thing because it messes with progression, but if you change the variable "primrose_arrest_event_state" to something like 2 while you're in the dialogue selector for Samarra, the option should pop up. Make sure you set it back to its old value immediately after you're done presenting clues, or you're probably going to fuck up your save permanently. Actually, set it to its old value immediately after selecting "Present a clue" just to be sure.

I'm circumventing this in 0.11 by also checking against the "primrose_arrested" variable, leaving progression untouched.

So basically edit my save now, present the clue, save, edit it back ,and then continue, yes? :) I will backup my save too. I mean it took a couple of hours to get there...

Besides the clue in the alley (chameleon scales), you also missed the clue where Primrose talked about giving an old lady a key to the library (a picture of Primrose holding a key). I went to see Primrose in the her cell, when talking to her I couldn't complete the little part of the invade mind. I didn't have an option to tell her "Merek’s tea was poisoned. He must have smelled it, but drank it anyway. Was it a play for Primrose’s benefit?" that part was missing as well.

Yeah, that should work. I won't make any guarantees since I might be forgetting some kind of check that uses the variable within that section, but I don't think there is one.

After you do that, then you will get new option in dialogue with Samara, present her with clues, and you will get new clue. You can go to Primrose then, and continue investigation.

He stumbled upon bug. Seems option with presenting clues to Samara didn't trigger in dungeon path. After you present her clues, you will get clue about tea.
