- In Hint House, you'll see a floating question mark where each tip is. Right now, tips are invisible.
This confused me a little at first, too. Maybe Vern was talking about the visual indicator that let's you know that there is a tip at the location (before you actually are on that spot). In earlier versions there was a sign where every tip was.
Unlike regular signs, you didn't have to press your action key to read the message. You walked across it, and the tip was displayed. Now the visual indicator is invisible. The idea was that tips should be distinguishable from signs. Where signs could be verbose, tips would be fairly terse.
It makes me wonder if an exclamation mark might be better for tips considering what question marks are used for in MM2.
