I know this is an old game, but I'm behind the times and I'm dying to know a bit more about episode three. Haven't been able to find any other topics that address this, but is there any significance to the memo and the control board that you don't have access to? The control board is down by the office-looking areas to the left of some of the clone rooms, below the room with the memo talking about how the clones grow at an accelerated rate, and asks for a code that I could never find. The memo screen is up top one of the clone rooms and tells you to swipe a pass card that I also never found. I still finished the game (with both endings) without ever unlocking these things... is there some kind of plot point I missed here, or are they just extraneous?
Iirc no, no hidden plot, just an easier "action" sequence (droids and such).
But I'm going to replay that, just to make sure
Indeed replaying it, I can assure you you've missed anything important.
anyway, spoilers for the code / pass
Spoiler
use the unopened letter to retreive a passcard from under the desk (just above the locked office). The pass will allow you to retreive the code for the lighting room, voilà !
that is only useful for
Spoiler
the downmost room with droids, i.e. makes the thing easier. But no, no plot dump.
Hey, thanks! I'll have to replay it again to see how that all works. I knew that letter had something to do with it!
