Detective Quests

Detective quests can only be undertaken if Harland Falk is in the party. Detective quests usually involve Harland being asked for help in solving crimes or tracking down people. Quests are almost always given by the police chief of a town, and often take place entirely inside the town where they are begun.

Detective quests involve less fighting than other quests, and require the player to carefully search for clues and question suspects. When the player feels they have gathered enough information, they may choose from a list of possible suspects and accuse them. If they solved the crime successfully, the player will receive a reward based on how thorough they were; whereas if they accuse the wrong person, then the real criminal usually escapes and the player is berated for their inattention to the details of the crime.
