Does the sex of main character influence the game?

Question

Does choosing a male or female character influence the gameplay or the story in some way?

Answer

There are two perks that are affected by your interaction with the opposite sex:

1. The Allure perk in the Speech tree, which Xenox mentioned, that gives you 10% better prices with members of the opposite sex.
2. Completing The Heart of Dibella will grant you the Agent of Dibella perk, which will give you a 10% melee damage bonus against members of the opposite sex.

How am I supposed to serve breakfast?

Question

I am playing Wallace and Gromit Episode 1; Fright of the Bumblebees, and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to serve Wallace his breakfast!

I tried to make toast, and a squirrel just ran off with it. I tried to make eggs, and the machine is broken. I have clicked all the things, and I have a stick of butter in my inventory, but it doesn't seem to help me at the moment.

Help! What can I do? Wallace is hungry, and he won't be happy until he gets something to eat!

Answer

I'll try to hint you first, but there's a full walkthrough here:

As far as the toast goes:

The toast is nabbed by a squirrel, Nutter. He leaves paw print on an empty butter dish. Hmm.

The egg machine is considerably more complex a solution. There is a "part" missing, so you may need to explore some other parts of the house to find another mechanism to steal it from.

What do the numbers next to the recipes in the crafting window mean?

Question

In my crafting window there are numbers next to all the items I can make, but I don't know what they mean. I initially thought it was how many I could make with stuff I had on hand, but in my screenshot I can clearly make 3 when it says 0. Is it bugged or does it mean something else entirely?

Answer

Those figures are supposed to show how many of the item you can make, I believe the fault you have pointed out is because of the systems inability to differentiate between your characters inventory, and yoru cargo hold inventory :S

Additionally the intensity of the colour indicates how much of a boost the item will give the crafting skill when made:

• grey ( + 0 pt )
• green ( + 1 pt per 2 items made )
• yellow ( + 1 pt per item made )
• orange ( +2 pt pre item made ) ~VMT to sarge-smith, and mufasa for this information~

It might be worth popping into the devtracker forum and letting them know about this.

They're used for constructing certain buildings, such as the primary school and the secondary school.

Three are on the map, sometimes under resources. You also get one each time you finish building something that needs one.

How do I use Steam Coupons?

Question

All those coupons I got from the Gift Pile event are about to become valid, so I might as well ask: How do I actually use them?

Do I sort of activate them from my Inventory, or can I select them at some point during checkout?

Answer

According to the Support Article

Steam will apply any of your applicable coupons automatically. Prior to clicking “purchase,” you can choose to save your coupon for later by clicking the “Change/Remove coupon” link for that coupon in your cart.

How do achievements work in Minecraft?

Question

I'm trying to figure out how to get achievements in Minecraft Beta 1.5. I'm on a multiplayer server, and there's a message that says Press 'I' to open your inventory in the top-right corner. However, when I open my inventory, nothing happens.

Looking at the Achievements page in the game menu, Taking Inventory is highlighted and blinking, and no other achievements appear to be available for collection. Is there a step I'm missing, like selecting the achievement somehow? Or does it just not work yet?

Answer

Apparently you have to load single-player first, and get the very first achievement. After that, achievements will work fine in both single-player and multiplayer.

How do you install Minecraft mods on a Mac?

I'm currently at a friends house, and we wanted to install mods for Minecraft (Latest version) on his OS X 10.7 system. Unfortunately, every guide we've tried just doesn't seem to work at all, or seems to be outdated. So how do you install Minecraft Mods on OS X?

Answer

It's really easy. So you have your vanilla mod, and you downloaded your mods, right? First check that you have all the essential (if mod requiers modloader you have to download that too). Than what you need to do ist to go to your home directory, and from there go into the Folder "Library. From here go into application support and from here you should find the Folder minecraft. Just go then in the Folder and you should see a minecraft.jar. Right click it and open it with the Unarchiver. You should see a Folder with the minecraft name, and in it all the Files; you can rename the original minecraft.jar in something like minecraft.Backup.jar just to keep it for emergencies. Then add all the mods in the new Folder you created, and when you are over remember to add .jar to the Folder name! Hope that it works ;)
