I just finished Trails of Anguish, but I'm puzzled. Why do some of the messages here speak of the trading booths, trading for tokens and so on? I never needed those; I never even had access to the trading booths. Was the game altered recently? I spent a lot of time wandering around accomplishing nothing trying to figure out who to talk to (or what to acquire) in order to access the trading booths.
Mercifully, I finally decided to walk up what had previously been a dead end and thereby found renewed purpose and, shortly, the end of the game. But I still wonder: Why the trading booths, and why the tarp? And the exposed pipes near Halcyon suggest a challenge of some sort....
