Post subject:  Did I screw up? (Bachelor, Day 1)

So, I've finally started in earnest, and have been playing by my gut, but I couldn't help but take a peak at the walkthrough, and it looks like I've been doing things wrong.

I simply followed the leads as they came up, and never encountered anyone who needed burying, nor did I encounter anything in the way of a "power cache". After I talked to Big Vlad, I simply followed the creature that led me to Young Vlad, and didn't kill the butcher, and learned that Simon was killed by the disease. I talked to Rubin, then George, and am now left with 12 more hours in the day, some consumed medicine because I didn't quite get that my health restored normally, and no leads.

Should I restart and try again? Having taken the quest from Vlad intsead of Eve, I didn't get anything in the way of a reward.

Some events are optional.

Usually if you hit a brick wall, the game will promptly tell you by the end of the day :)

You won't always get a reward. In fact, sometimes the 'completion' of a task involves defeat.

Check your journal. Completed tasks will have a double-asterisk (**) next to them.

As for the "burying" quest did you talk to Julia? She has a lot to tell on day 1.

The health-restoring medicine: sleep on it) There are also bandages restoring health without sleeping, but you have to do some trashbin-searching to get them for free.

Also a good general tip: Make sure you've eaten enough before you sleep! Otherwise you might die of hunger in your bed! :wink:

Just trade bottles of water for bandages. a lot easier :)

Yeah, those drunk guys are your hook up! Intoxicated people always carry bandages (but never water) :D

Yeah, I realized now that I'd completed the day quest. I think I'll restart anyway, though. I've got a better understanding of the gameplay, and as I understand it, I'm going to need all the resources I can get from the first day. Heck, I didn't even get how combat worked until later.
