The weed is a poor example of an unwinnable action in the game. If it is damaged, you can destroy it and return to the mountain pass later on to dig out a new one. --AlphaEtaPi 16:45, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
- I only found that out by reading a walkthrough recently - the first time I got to the Comedy Club and found I needed it, it had died long ago so I restarted... It was obscure to me, as I tended not to go round setting fire to stuff for fun (No, that's a lie - but not when I wanted to win)...

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
- The info was hidden deeply in the files at the Mayor's office (that bonding plants grow back when one is destroyed) if I remember correctly... Now, "obscure" was getting the keys from that drunken fool - I guessed the trick since I remembered Monkey Island 2 and the Near Grog (which I think this ripped off in that respect) but I never thought to ask him for them at a particular time.
- Also, on the subject of unwinnable situations, if you dropped all your belongings on the ground before you broke the rules (eg: killing a character, reading the letter etc), as long as the character served no further purpose you could still go on and complete the game - the wandering guy just took all your belongings which ordinarily would result in you being unable to complete the game. However, if you had dropped them already before you left the area and triggered him, you could just go back pick them up after he had ranted at you a bit and carry on. AFAIK, the 'path to victory' never actually became blocked in any literal sense... --Divinedegenerate 00:07, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

Spoilers end here.
[edit] Notebook entry
Slightly off-topic, does anyone remember how to get this entry?
The Vultures: Vultures arrived in the Valley of the Sparrows and immediately began stealing.
I've got a detailed list of how each notebook entry ties in to the conversations in the game but I haven't figured that one out.--BigCow 19:42, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] A question
Why don't the sounds, voices and videos work on XP? Does it have anything to do with XP being NT-based instead of DOS-based? Unsigned Comment:—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 202.76.162.34 (talk)
