Thanks for looking Marian. There may be a screwdriver in that game that would work, but there isn't anything in this game.
I had to look in the walkthrough to see that the combined item is used later. This is either a glitch or poor game design (or just oversight) that you can combine items too soon and then cannot separate them if needed. Unfortunately I have a good bit to replay and honestly, was not enjoying the game too much to begin with. I don't like the voice acting and I don't like listening to the same boring comments over and over, however, you know I cannot just
drop the game
. I don't know why I'm so pig-headed that way
.
mbday630, it is the first game of the series, just titled Deponia, and yes, I have tried right clicking and using other items on it to try to separate. I tried using the item where I'm supposed to use the one part of it but it won't work while it is combined. Thanks.
