Hello,
Does anyone know of a site that specializes in spoiler free walkthroughs? I was looking for something that would allow you to go through tiered hints that progressively move towards explicit instructions. My google-fu didn't turn up anything. I was considering building a site to do this but want to make sure one does not already exist. Also, would there be demand for it? My assumption is that there would. Better yet, would you (as a player or developer) take the time to add walkthroughs to the site?
Thanks,

The closest thing I can think of is UHS (http://www.uhs-hints.com/ (http://www.uhs-hints.com/)). UHS used to just be a shareware application, but it looks the hints are all available online now too.
Yeah, I try to avoid walkthrough asych as possible, but if I absolutely have to cheat, UHS is always my first choice. Its a great system.
It's still not 100 perfect though, as sometimes spoilers can be in the wording of the questions to bits you haven't played yet. For example, you might accidentally see the question "how do I escape the nazi prison?" Kind of spoils the fact that you're going to get put in a prison by some nazis at some point soon. But in general it's a great service for people who don't want to cheat but kind of need to.
Excellent, thank you. Yeah, this is exactly what I was looking for. Looks like they even pay for people to submit walkthroughs.
Thanks,

Seems to me the best way to avoid this problem is to deliberately include fake questions in the walkthrough so that you never know if questions like that are spoilers of future events or just fakeouts.
