3. Which character has the "musician" trait?

Answer: Syd

Syd and Razor are both musicians, which opens up the Green Tentacle scenario. Their ability to play the piano and record a tape gets the Green Tentacle to share his demo tape.

4. What is Jeff's special ability?

Answer: He can fix the telephone

Jeff's only real skill in the game is his ability to fix the telephone. While this is a useful skill, Bernard has the same skill as well as the ability to repair wires and fix the radio.

5. Which two characters are interchangeable (they have identical skills)?

Answer: Syd and Razor

Syd and Razor can both play the piano to get a copy of Green Tentacle's demo tape. This step opens up the storyline of the meteor getting a contract, thereby allowing the game to be completed.

Answer: Ned

Dr. Fred is the main antagonist and he has a son named Ed. Dead cousin Ted lives in the shower in the bathroom.

9. Aside from Dave, how many characters are you able to select from before starting the game?

Answer: Six

The playable characters, not including Dave, are: Bernard, Jeff, Michael, Razor, Syd, and Wendy. Players have to take Dave, but can select any combination of two other players. The combination of characters selected will determine the steps that need to be taken in order to complete the game.

10. Which playable character has NO special abilities?

Answer: Dave

There is nothing Dave can do that other characters can not do. All of the other playable characters in the game have unique abilities that are required to complete the game.
