I see by not asking anything that demands a reply (or even merely a "good point" comment) my suggestion here has fallen to page 5. So I am going to break a personal rule and engage in a 'self-bump' just this once. If anyone agrees that this is a good idea, please respond to keep this higher on the forum.

I find myself repeatedly frustrated when seaching the various forums/hints/walkthoughs/etc. for this game that very few authors seem to mention whether their advice is based on playing the Xbox or PC version of the game. I imagine if anyone at Obsidian is actively working on, or even merely considering a patch, they are even more frustrated by this. I don't own any consoles, my budget simply won't allow it. And I know for a fact from reading forums related to dual platform games, there is NEVER a perfect translation from one platform to another, even when working with what is essentially the same code. Also, a few glitches were fixed prior to the PC release - and its likely new ones were introduced. So let's help each other (and maybe anyone working on a patch) out here, and simply tag our comments with which version our experience is from.

The smuggler compartment DOES NOT become available in the PC version as best as I've been able to determine. Help for this dual platform game suffers frequently because neither poster or respondant bothers to mention whether they have the Xbox or PC version. And while a few things were fixed prior to the PC release, a few more 'got broke'. Also I suspect that many more bugs will be reported now that people who are used to using a single machine start hitting these forums. Unfortunately, without being specific as to PC or XBOX in the complaint, I fear the wait for a patch may be long. I also sympathize with the developers who have to look at two systems to track down a reported problem.
