The fact that BS1 isn't situated anywhere near Dartmoor makes this also a very unlikely possibillity.

Funny thing though if Holmes wouldn't have paused to assess the situation he might've been able to save Moorehead.

Btw: did you see that great new series by Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss?

Let's try an easy one(I think)
"Why didn't I kill him?"

how about a little hint gray?

You ask for one I give you a couple!

1: It's a spoken line
2: It's from a cutscene and a privotal one at that
3: The line is spoken by an officer of the law(ranging from PI to Judge) and like poor Moorehead this person as well doesn't live very long from this point onwards. Only his killer wasn't so poetic. The last thing he heard was: BANG! BANG! (and no that's not a spoken line nor are these sounds particularly acurate but you catch my drift)

Is it Jack Orlando?

Nope,

Another quote, same game, same scene, a few minutes later

"Both dead. Damn...Guess I screwed up again."

This should simplefy the riddle somewhat

Not a clue, sorry...

I've done a search and I've concluded that it's a quote from

THIS THREAD (it's the only thing that came up with that quote)

The moral of this story is cheating, as well as being morally wrong, really isn't worthwhile. :)

Heheh, I did a search once for Victorian Post order magazines (which should have been catalogues but I'm no native speaker) and the first thing I found was my question about them in The AG Community Blog :D.

Excuse me but are you talking about my quotes?

'Cause if you are I can assure you they're from an actual game.

Okay, a bit more information:
The killing of the person whom I orginally quoted wasn't really a cold blooded murder but rather a sort of justice

He was saying that in an attempt to cheat he couldn't find the answer. He wasn't questioning the fact that it's a real game.

I am stumped. I've gone over every game I know that includes the type of character and attempted to place the scene but am coming up empty. It must be a semi obscure game.

LOL! I must've been half asleep or something. Going back over that post I can't see what's not to get!
Really funny:D

And I can tell you one thing if anything it's not it's a semi obscure game. Unless you label the entire adventure genre as semi obscure

Wow. I've played almost every non obscure adventures. Is it a tex Murphy game?

Nope

Wouldn't doubt you. Just means no-one (apart from you) has quoted it online.

I wouldn't have posted if I'd found it that way anyway. It sounds like something I've got but not got round to playing yet and I wanted to satisfy my curiosity on that point. Guess I'll have to wait to find out.

@Guy Pearce

Hopkins FBI lol...

I have a nagging feeling that I should know this... it's not Blade Runner is it?

^
I contemplated saying Blade Runner too.

But I don't remember two deaths following up so closely in that game.

But I think you're right.

@Rayyo: no it's not Blade Runner

@Origami: you're very, very close but not there yet.

Also why did you aim at Guy Pearce, what does he have to do with all this?:D

It's not the Grey Fedora or the Goats thingy is it? I forgot the real names of those funny AGs.

Nope, it's definetely not a funny AG allthough sometimes it tries to be(yes that was a hint too)
