Gotham Knights Diaries Part Twelve

Andrew continues his fight against crime

- By Andrew Duncan

This is my exploration of Gotham Knights where I will chronicle my playthrough like a text-based Let's Play. I'll point out all of the Easter Eggs that I can spot in the footnotes at the end of each part. Now let's continue Gotham Knights...

With the gears finally setting into motion, it was time to get to the Masquerade Ball...

Leaving Belfry, I set course for Southside to meet up with Oscar, a member of The Watch. During this section, I cleared out two Owl's Nests, completed a Crime Scene Investigation, stopped three Criminal Deals, rescued Officers Under Attack, saved hostages at a Bomb Threat, and stopped a Kidnapping in Progress. I also resolved a number of crimes of opportunity, scanned a Gotham City Street Art, and found some Batarangs.

Oscar offered me some resources if I stopped crimes and beat up criminals in the area, so I headed out to stop the premeditated crimes on my map. Penguin popped up on my map, so I nipped over to collect some crafting supplies and get asked to stop more Criminal Deals, and defeat four Minibosses. After stopping some more premeditated crimes I had to go straight back to see him again! This time he needed me to defeat four Talons and stop another Criminal Deal.

Since I'd also managed to inadvertently do what Detective Renee Montoya needed me to, I was able to nip over to see her and get some more resources. But, it was finally time to head to the Masquerade Ball at the Orchard Hotel, where I gained entry through the penthouse suite. Alfred Pennyworth warned that this was an extravagance that we couldn't afford to keep doing, which made me wonder: what happened to Bruce Wayne's will? Did he not leave his vast fortune to Alfred? Or his wards, Richard Grayson and Jason Todd? And Dick was on the board at Wayne Enterprises, was he not pulling in a salary from that?
