"Fedora of the Deceiver" is the perfect setup for a m'lady joke, well done. That was the first thing that went through my mind on seeing the item name too. And this is getting suspenseful, isn't it? This game keeps getting better and better. I'll admit I wasn't entirely sold on it for the first several updates, but I'm definitely fully invested now. Side note, maybe you can clarify something. How exactly do the resistance stats work (e.g. when it says 3-25%, what does each number mean?) I can imagine a lot of different ways it could work but it's not at all clear to me which if any of them it might be (is this a range, is one of them a minimum or maximum, etc).

Thanks, that actually makes sense. I'd been thinking about asking for a while, I'm glad I actually did.

I'm not an expert on this by any means, but Oracle's VirtualBox is pretty straightforward and user-friendly; it's always worked well for me, and it's free. You'll probably want to install the Extension Pack in addition to the main software. After that it's pretty easy, just pick the option to create a new virtual machine and the software will walk you through it (I generally recommend you give the VM a bit more RAM to work with than the minimum it suggests, but otherwise you're probably good with default settings). The main snag is that while this handles the virtualisation aspect, you will still need installation media for the OS you want to actually use (so it'll be a problem if you don't actually have Windows 2000 discs or the ability to find them someplace online). I've also run into some snags in the past because Microsoft no longer has registration servers running for their older operating systems, so even if you have a valid registration code there's no way to submit it and get out of trial period hell. There are supposed to be hacks and workarounds for that, but I was never quite able to get them to work right; that said, in the worst case you'd just have to remember what date you created the VM and mess with your system clock on occasion. Don't know if this actually helps, but maybe it's a place to start?

Wow, Goondalf is a really fast writer (does he use magic?). The way this is written, he somehow managed to write multiple pages of text while rushing from the courtroom to the front lines.

This was quite the journey, and an awesome LP. Thanks for sharing this game with us. If not for this LP, I don't think I'd have ever heard of it, and it holds up a lot better than I'd have expected considering how old it is. I'm glad you were able to get through all the issues and actually show us the whole game; I don't blame you not doing two more full playthroughs at this point (that does sound like it'd have been a good way to integrate the content into the LP, but honestly it sounds like a lot more work than it'd have likely been worth).
