What to study

A Path Action at the moment of commitment, the day/night town-interaction system the queue asked for, in its confirm state (a manual probe; the scene-change pass caught only the town before and the dialogue after). Scrutinize is an information gamble and the panel says so with unusual honesty: the target reduced to a sprite and the word Townsperson, an explicit 80% success chance, and the failure cost, your reputation in town, printed in parentheses before you choose, not after. Yes/No are the game's dark chevrons, the same shape as its battle commands and shop tabs. What a successful Scrutinize returns (the Townsperson's age and biography) appears seconds later in the same trailer segment and is the first alternate for this slot. The trailer's feature banner runs along the bottom caption strip, disclosed; it covers no panel content. Frame at about 2:21 in the NOV trailer - EN ESRB video (Steam), a manual probe extraction (probes/p141.0.png at 141.0s).

• centre, the Path Action panel over a blurred snow-town street: header 'Osvald: Scrutinize' with his portrait-and-magnifier tab breaking in from the left edge, the target's sprite alone in the middle labelled simply Townsperson, and the wallet (51,461 leaves) at the top right of the panel
• the gamble stated in plain text in the middle of the panel: 'Chance of success: 80%' / 'Scrutinize?', and under it, in parentheses, the cost of failure: '(Your reputation in town will suffer if you fail.)'
• bottom centre, the decision as two dark chevron buttons, Yes (highlighted, with the pointing-hand cursor) over No, the same chevron language as the battle menu and the shop rails, so every choice in the game is answered the same way
