If it's not Titty Belmont you can always count on an MLP themed version anyway.

g0lbez posted:Is the story supposed to make any sense? It seems every monologue from the narrator is about some random poo poo and I can't piece any of it together If you really Wanna know... The Ancestor is some bougie rich dude who had nothing better to do than to try to open a portal to some hell dimension (meta spoiler, it wasn't a hell dimension, it was earth all along!). This didn't happen overnight, and along the way he learned mycology, necromancy, demonic summoning, and Trans-pelagic commerce. All of the paths ultimately led to dissatisfaction; apparently he just got bored of summoning skeletons and left the Necromancers on autopilot. He got into gardening but his girlfriend got fat so he kicked her out. Then he got into demonic summoning but since it's hard to get it right he ended up with all these cronenberg monsters that he just flushed down the toilet and ignored. Of course the townspeople got pissed off about all this bougie excess so he hired Blackwater Inc to suppress the riots. One guy was seriously onto him and having a Rasputin level of resilience the Ancestor just showed him Goatse and the dude flipped out. Then of course it all goes to poo poo anyway because the Ancestor can't stick to one goddamn thing so he's gotta write to his inbred grandkid about fixing everything. Then when you finally do and find out the guy was just some lazy douchebag all along you decide gently caress it, this is someone else's problem and start the cycle anew.

I'm pretty sure also that the Ancestor planned to shank the Countess before he even knew she was a vampire. Because he was bored and wanted her to go away. The dude has problems with women.

This is indeed the case. He was planning on murdering her, arranged an excuse to get her somewhere isolated, and then was pretty drat surprised when she tried to murder him first.

That whole scene is just peak lovecraft. He's going to murder her just because he's bored. She flips and tries to eat him because she's secretly a horrible bug monster. He flips and murders her anyway because he's a lovecraft-style wizard for whom murdering someone is a normal Tuesday. He of course decides it would be a shame to let a perfectly good bug monster go to waste, and promptly loses control of the situation in a way that anyone who isn't completely bonkers could see coming. Good stuff.

Unless you're playing Radiant mode, but they take twice as much stress.

While I can kind of see what they were going for, I'm not fond of the grind as opposed to difficulty progression. In other news, I lost my first character on Week 42. Fortunately it was just an antiquarian so I didn't have to bail the mission, but I like having extra treasure.

Radiant mode helps save time, first by giving more town upgrade items and second by letting higher level dudes in lower level areas. I'm okay with this because otherwise optimal play would be to form new parties to get town upgrade materials then throw them away (or let them die) once they'd be forced to enter an area that they're not equipped for. Other than that: prioritize offense over defense, stuns are good, get your healing in once they're down to one dude? I do tend to keep the torch pretty bright because the potential extra loot doesn't seem worth the increased risk of losing a character. Plus I think it increases scouting chances, and I'd rather my characters be surprised in a fight than me be surprised by a fight. What's max-sized roster, anyway? I haven't even used all the character classes since I found three groups that work for me. My favorite team is two Grave Robbers, one Antiquarian, and one Occultist.
