*spoilers* Curious...

Began replaying Episode 1 today.
Any ideas how the package Biff takes from the video store will come into play in future episodes? At least, I'm pretty sure it's a package... And surely other than finding the year the building was built Biff must have been in that scene for a specific reason, right?

    The reason is : There's only 3 character models in 1986.

    George, Edna, Biff.

    Obviously they weren't gonna use Edna or George.

    I think if the package Biff takes out of the store comes into play in later episodes, Telltale's going to have to up the rating from Teen.

    (The NPCs don't count?) I don't think that's a good enough reason. :/ I mean, why bother having anyone coming out of the store in the first place then?

    I didn't mean it that way!! :rolleyes: Unless there's something about renting those kinds of videos in 1986. I wasn't alive then. lol. But to me it looks like a package.

    Because Hill Valley is already sadly empty. By having Biff getting out of it, it gives the impression it's not a dead city, but a living one.

    And the character model problem is SO TOTALLY enough of a good reason. I mean, did you notice that you never see who Marty is talking too, in 1931 ? (except for the sister soup)

    There are some random pedestrians in 1931 though. And I think they could have whipped up a random character if they needed to, or just had the action offscreen. It may or may not be important, but either way it's kind of funny seeing biff and wondering what he was getting :) It really could just be a gag.

    Yeah, because it's probably a porn and it's better to wrap it in brown wrapping paper, because other people could be offended by it.
    Like with alcohol and those funny brown bags where everyone keeps their bottle. :)

    America's a funny place. :D

    If you use the binoculars before talking to Edna she says something about the videostore, I can't remember but I think she mentions Biff.

    So, I'm the only one who automatically assumed Biff was renting porn?

    No. And Edna's dialogue suggests it's porn pretty strongly.
