Document every thing you do and cannot do. Therefore when a new name appears you will have the reference. Also, when you cannot open something, you know where to come back to when you find the object needed. 2. Always LOOK, MOVE, OPEN & GET in this order. It will prevent you from picking up something and never be able to open & search it once it is in your inventory. 3. If you never want to worry about money running out -- save the game before you BRIBE and then reload the game once you have the info requested. Now for the game.
