#16554: DIRECTOR: The Dark Eye - Old Man scene does not always play
-------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
Reporter:  arrowgent     |      Owner:  (none)
    Type:  defect        |     Status:  new
Priority:  normal        |  Component:  Engine: Director
 Version:                |   Keywords:  dark eye, the dark eye, scene,
    Game:                |  video, old man
-------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 in the final scene of "Tell tale heart - Old man" the cutscene (shown in
 screenshots attached) does not always play if you select A), B), C)
 however if you select C) + C) or A+C+C or B+C+C then the video will play

 when it doesnt play, it just skips the video sequence and goes straight to
 the bed view.

 the other two videos appeared to play consistently.  unsure if brute
 forcing could cause them to also fail to play


 i didnt see any error log reporting about it being skipped?
 video that doesnt play consistently:

 TH:TE:thomnadr.mov

 folder:
 .../dark_eye/dkydata/th/te/thomnadr.mov
