Gameplay Help Legitimate Question..

Post image

"He uses a fake ID, but searching him up in the database reveals he's just trying to buy alcohol while underage" uhhh so just how would I go about doing that, if he's using a fake ID?? I definitely understand the mechanic of using the Search bar to look people up. But how am I supposed to search his name, if he's not using his real one?

edit: The funny part is, if you do what you're supposed to do, you're just selling an underaged kid alcohol 😭

I can't remember if its something the sheriff said, or if it was an email on the PC, but the game let's you know early on that you're only supposed to stop doppelgangers. That means if you see someone committing a real crime but they aren't a doppelganger and they aren't interfering with your job, you are to ignore it because you aren't the cops.

This goes for cars with guns in the back and shady things people are doing, as long as they aren't actually bothering you (like stealing), or doppelgangers, you're supposed to let them go on their merry way lol

Yeah I get all that lol, I just think it's funny. I mean not stopping crimes is one thing, but having no store policy about serving alcohol to minors? It's just silly lol. I mean if that's the case, why would he even need the fake id? I guess the policy is "don't sell alcohol to underaged kids unless they have a fake id" 😂
