The reminiscence theme for this case has been a standout for me since I played the game. The sound feels less tragic and more despairing. I feel like it really captures Ms. Green's headspace in the wake of Duncan's passing.
Ms. Green did the following crimes.
-Break into someone's home
-Purchase poison from the black market
-Attempted murder (in an albeit very roundabout way) and though it might not be a crime, she would've let someone else take the fall for her if she got away with it.
I dunno about you, but I do think that all that does deserve some form of punishment. Especially not to tell the public that they can possibly get away with murder in that specific way.
Also Garrideb's wife is in prison for the accidental attempted murder of Ms. Green so it wouldn't make sense to not punish an intentional attempted murder at the very least.
It was fun and interesting listening to your story Tim ^^. Sometimes I think about what different stories I've heard if my grandfather wasn't born as rural. So he grew up under the German occupation in WW2, train lines were expanded (and built by Ukrainian PoWs), cars came, some Norwegians tried inventing cars, computers (if you are planning to go to Norway and love technology do I recommend going to Norsk Teknisk Museum, it's a really fun interactive museum, the computer part was under construction when I visited last so I want to return!), then oil was discovered! All time and effort was put into oil so train lines were removed, computer and (ironically) car factories closed down. In the 2000s Norwegian noir and fantasy started to take off, and now the graphic novels and animation movies are starting to reach international quality even though non-noir have a struggle coming out internationally (if you want to help by tweeting at publishers and filling into Seven Seas Entertainment's survey do I recommend: Nordlys by Malin Falch 🗨️, Ragnarok by Odin Helgheim 🗨️, Phenomena by Ruben Eliassen 📖, Royalty Witches by Alena Pons and Laia López(yes I know it's Spanish but deserves love) 📖, and more but that's for another day). Game development hasn't taken off here like in our neighbours Sweden, Denmark, and Finland, but someday hopefully! And that's without talking about science and medicine! The world is constantly changing and moving forward. Some things have gotten better, some things worse, some not as much as it should. When looking back at people back then, seeing how similar they are yet sometimes having really different views is fascinating. Some of the good is often just as much ignored as the bad things. For all good and bad back then, one thing is for certain, they were humans, and humans make mistakes.
Next time, the Millenia Fair experiment.
I'm not going to outright spoil it, but I feel a hint about the collar is due since you simply forgot the details – this IS related to case 5 from the first game, though in a tangential way.
Inflation really might be that bad, hear of stuff costing pennies that's like 2 bucks now.
A hundred years is plenty of time for the economy to go haywire.
The next case may very well be my all time favourite 3rd case in the series.
And then GAA2-5 is my favourite finale case.
"We still have to get all six jurors on our side?"
"I don't care about all this hogswalop about Shamspeare. I still don't trust that Japanese man. GUILTY!"
So yeah, here's where they find that collar. When I wrote my synopsis of the first game back at the start, I had read through the summaries of the cases on the wiki, but for some reason in my head I had convinced myself that this part happened in the last game. I think it might be because this case and 1-4 have the same setting, but I know for a fact that 1-5 begins with an excerpt from Hound of the Baskervilles (the actual Sherlock Holmes story) and that story Iris wasn't allowed to publish is indeed the reason they go to that pawn shop. Anyways, I hope you enjoy case 3. One of my favorite cases in probably the whole series.
1000 pounds was actually a shit ton of money back in the day
More monologueszzzza
Green did the same thing that Katherine Hall from Edgeworth 2 Case 3 did.
Well done with Case 2, Tim! If you think that exploded your brain by the revelations of what all went down with that case, you've seen nothing yet. Be prepared, man. Going forward with Case 3 all the way to the end of this game, things are going to get bat shit insane. It did for me, and I'm very certain that it will for you.
Again, great job with this case!😉
Regarding trials on accidental death: Making booby traps that could potentially kill someone is illegal, and can definitely get you tried for murder (as opposed to tried for manslaughter, which is accidental). Because regardless of what wrong they're supposed to prevent, they're designed with intent to kill, and preemptively as well. And intent to kill is usually the defining legal factor between murder and manslaughter. (There's some fuzziness there–such as killing someone in self-defense can still be tried as manslaughter–but I'm not a lawyer, so that's beyond my ken.)
Gotta love how Shamspeare may as well of taken up the entire character animation budget. Not to say everyone has terrible animations, they're all great, but CLEARLY Shamspeare got the bulk of over the top exaggerated animations and I love it
4:11 "Gas-based plot to kill the occupant of the room" That's me after eating Chipotle
32:36 Does anybody else hear that tune in the background? Sounds like it's coming from a washing machine or dryer. Can't remember the brand though
About the progress thing: we can't keep making more and more progress simply because we are exceeding the planetary boundaries for our activity. Civilisation will experience a crash, sooner or later, so I for one pity the children born around this time, because they are quite likely to take the brunt of that crash, without having ever experienced the joys and tranquility of what we had…
Also that "scientist" guy is just the worst possible archetype of a scientist and I resent him a lot.
And so you've reached the end of possibly my favourite Case 2 in the series As a sequel to the… not well-liked GAA1-4, I never expected this to be so good. A great mystery, good characters, and TWO culprits! And the game only gets better from here.
On your monologue at the end, I always considered myself luck for being born in 1991, right on the cusp of the development of game consoles, phones and the internet. I feel as those my generation grew with the technology and it grew with us. We had a gradual introduction to the tech as it grew, and this could be a "back in my day" thing but I feel bad for Gen Z being thrown head-first into the social media/smartphone world without any preparation. Those in my generation are starting to become parents, and I wonder what we're going to teach our kids.
At the same time, it's cool that the internet became a thing right as you hit adulthood, that's another interesting place to be.
Yes Tim, inflation was that bad! Remember, in these games, 3 pennies is a sizeable enough amount to buy you 3 hours of gas! According to an inflation calculator I used, 1000 pounds in the year 1900 would be around 99000 pounds today! That's a factor 100 due to inflation!
Also, lethal boobytraps like you're describing are very explicitly illegal. Just because someone is a criminal doesn't mean they deserve to be subject to vigilante justice. Only the courts can punish people. Otherwise the court system would be completely pointless! So yes, Olive is not evil, but she did commit attempted murder, as well as breaking and entering, and I can't imagine buying poison off the black market would be very legal either.
1:17 With inflation £1000 in the 1890s would be around 128K today (according to Google), or around 160K us dollars.
