Computer Access (minor spoilers)

Post by Jonus »

I have seen, on a cheat list of computer passwords and such, the access information for Bertram Tung's computer and the one for Confessions, but I have yet to be able to access either of them.

The one for Tung is obviously in the abandoned tank, with him.
The one for Confessions, I thought, was with Boris in his room.

Either way, I have these passwords and I have no way to use them. Was this a mistake or am I missing something?

The one for Confessions is, I imagine, in Venus's office (you know, where you go when you finish her missions).
I'd need to check on that though.

I can't find the one for Venus at all; regardless, I can't access either one - very strange indeed.

It could be that, for whatever reason, they had created Venus' computer and gone so far as to add it to the password listing but decided to simply delete it from the geometry so it was inaccessible. Having eliminated the object there wasn't any need to go back through and clean out all the references to it. The author of every password list I've seen simply checked the game's files for the list, they didn't actually put it together themselves. I've read that the contents of the computer mention that she's in league with the Sabbat but I can't verify that myself.

Anyway, that's my guess. To save time and effort they just deleted the computer object from the club and left everything else intact.

I've never noticed a computer in Venus' office, and the on in Borus' room looks purely decorative. There's no option for the player to interact with it in any meaningful way.

Jeanette's computer is interesting, though. I once used cheats to bump my computer skill up and hack into it at the beginning of the game. There's a Jack in her list of contacts, though we can only speculate as to whether this is Smiling Jack or just some guy she met in her club. There are some other locals in the list as well. If I remember correctly, Mercurio and Arthur Kilpatrick are among them. There's also an email from a mortal who says he's looking forward to "dancing" with her again.

I've seen old reviews of a game-preview where there apparently was some relation between Venus and a pack of Sabbat. Maybe that computer is a 'leftover' from it, as a secondary way to get info (if persuding her failed).
