you know that just might be the best thing to do at this point ,my head is spinning ! need to take a break. thanks for all your help .

It just doesn't sound like you are having any fun this way! And gaming is supposed to be fun!

I think the problems really began when deleterman went back to a much earlier save and could not remember exactly what had been done/had not been done at that point. That can potentially be confusing.

I haven't seen anyplace that says how many save slots there are.

That would make me confused too!

well I restarted the game , have a save at the Alambic Bistro . just after i did a drawing of the suspect. I think that so far every thing is good ,sticking with just 1 walk through , when I saved it I noted that all my old saves was there .

Actually, sticking with one walkthrouh is probably a good idea with this game because you can do things in different order AND you can play your character a little differently also (at least at the hotel). I don't think it changes much of anything but may be confusing depending on the walkthrough and its writer/player.

Good Luck! I hope you are able to get through the game this time!

Yes, I agree, oldbroad - better to stick to one walkthrough with this one for the reasons you mentioned.

thanks. now at Hellouin's office , at the door it is locked , i have the picks but can't use them what gives ?please let me know ok.

Which walkthrough are you using? That might help us to help you.

So, did you talk to Beauvais at the police station then and showed him the picture and then talked to Inspector Lebrun? I'm assuming so since you are able to get to Hellouin's office. If so, make sure you are at the right door (end of hallway) last door.

If you've done this then I believe the lock picks should work.

yes i did talk to beauvais at the police station . i will check again , what about 507 ?

And please, which walkthrough are you using? As oldbroad says, that will help a lot.

great got the picks and got in to Hellouin talked to Mrs.Hellouin went up and arrested Helloin. got the biscuits, saved there , I guess i have to go to eaton's apartment. i saved it there . going to talk to Mrs. Evelyne. I think I'm on the right track now . what do yah think ??

Sounds great deleterman!

thanks it is a fun game , just want to check with you to make sure every thing is good and on track.

well now at the alambic bistro, i think the next thing is to go to the hotel orphee, and get the pencil , does that look ok.

Whatever the walkthrough says is what you should do!

thanks, I will do that, that is my problem = to many vampires in my room.

Should I send you garlic?!?

LOL. yeah .

checking with you - i was in room 507 got key to strong box. now it said to go up to eaton's apartment , what number is there apartment ?

We need to know which walkthrough you are using so that we can all be on the same page while monitoring your progress.

It should be a whole new area on your map.

sorry but i did get there by using the map, in the eaton's apartment I got every thing I could , the walk through said to go to hotel orphee and talk to Isidore Petit, but he will not talk to me !! I saved there . what do I do now ??? what is the PI dialogue ??and how do i get that ?

We still need to know which walkthrough you're using so we can follow along with you.
