Fucking suck my dick, Iga. This is horseshit design and you know it. Anytime you just have to "know" what to do, that's shit game design. I hardly even feel like continuing to play the game after it just slapped me in the face so hard. It's like I'm expected to think I'm some kind of idiot for not literally living inside the designer's head. If this was for some optional thing, I'd feel better about it, knowing they pull this shit o the main path of the game is just annoying and makes me wonder if it'll get even worse later.
