I saved Al and talked to Al and Red at one time and they told me to get explosives. I talked to Erika at club but not sure if right after talking to Red. I got the explosives and we blew a building up next day. Just talked to Susan but she didn't say anything about writing an article and right now I have nothing to tell her. Now will try talking to Al and Red again cuz they will ask me to get explosives again.
Edit: done and get the same convo I've been getting about Glen being a "friend" and dirty cop. Do I need to follow up on using the explosives before Susan will write the article? Seems to me that since I already did that that I should have something to tell Susan so she will have something to write about. Also what time do I need to go to club next night. Never had Erika and Brad talk anytime I went there.
Ok there are different conversations in the Club House..
I may not have clarified well enough that the talks with Brad and Erika is done separately, the only times you can talk with them at the same time, as in 3some talk (not fuck) is when you take Alison up there around midnight.
So once again, different conversations in the Club House with everybody, depending on what stages you're at.
It sounds like you've tried about almost everything, so am wrecking my brain here.. have you've tried to follow Brad and Alison during the day (Mall), think you have to let them meet first by taking her to the club house.
I can't remember if you need to use the explosive before Susan writes her article, but I do remember that talking to her about it is not a choice, it is an "event" that happens in Slums in the evening, 19-20:00 by just entering it.
The way I discovered everything in this game (hopefully I have) was to try different locations at different times, see what looked new and think logically, sometimes the game seams not logical but later when all the story pieces come together it does make more sense.
I just wish the Dev had done what he promised to do, which was make the in game hints better and larger.
It can be quite frustrating to figure out, so hope you have at least some fun?
