Thank you so much for this guide! The color-coded indicators are a great addition! I tried to do the Abels I lost my glasses quest, but when I click on the bush, it says "nothing to see here" no matter how many times I click! does anyone know if I should just spam click it until my keys are dented or if its a glitch? [/IMG] Thanks in advance!
