Rivals are a real pain to deal with and it isn't really worth turning a lover or hunter into one. They can steal explorations from you and just randomly generate notoriety out of thin air when they gun for a hunter along with being an additional way to game-over you. Maybe if snares lasted longer and were 100% it'd be a bit better. Best to just do away with the hunters by hand instead of trying to reveal lore to them. I'd not bother with romance until you've completely secured your ascension either since you can only gift a follower once and you might screw up and ignore them enough to cause issues.

Is there a way to tell if the Frangiclave mod is installed? Doesn't really say anything in game.

Detectives really need more teeth. It's way too easy to just stop doing murders for a few minutes so that they lose everything they ever had on you. And even if you don't it takes them like an hour to get to the point of bringing it to trial, at which point they probably arrest some useless pawn anyway. There should be some sort of permanent build up you can't touch, like the Bureau building a file on you or something.

The hunters really should be able to meddle with your expeditions somehow. They're the plucky investigators to your sinister puppet master, they're suppose to get all up in your loving schemes even it's by complete accident. It's like Inspector Gadget if he never actually stopped MAD plots with his bumbling.

I just had a rival give me a low level influence for free as a gift. First time I've ever seen them interact in a positive way with the player like that.

How do rivals work anyway? I haven't seen a single one but I also haven't initiated a romance with more than one character. Also that romance never progressed so it stayed at interest forever.

Yorkshire Pudding posted:Well your cult isn't exactly a secret given when you send Heart cultists out it says that they're out there talking up your "society" and getting rid of Notoriety and stuff. I mean obviously you're not telling everyone your cult is dedicated to you becoming a god, but it's not a secret that all your peeps get together and do...something. It does bug me at some level that only one of your minions can be doing a thing at the same time. Like I’ve inducted 21 people into my cult plus assorted hangers on, you’d think I could order them to destroy evidence and get me a god drat coffee at the same time.

Is Detective broken now? Because I start a Detective legacy, but I don't have a person of Suspicion to investigate, just a Pawn. Study never appears to unlock so I cant really do anything. Its just a wasted legacy

Its about the flow. Cultist simulator doesnt flow very well. Obviously its a game from the creator of fallen london and sunless sea. He has a very good imagination but doesnt know how to make a game. In a way it reminds me of icepick lodge. St petersburg based studio who have very good ideas but the gameplay is just resource management and running around. Whole thing is held together by gripping story.

Wanted to ask is this game beatable the first time without a guide? I’ve made it to the peacock door but I’m having a hard time getting new fragments to work with. Also my goal is different from my cult which was a screw up on my part.

The game gives more than a few hints on how to beat it if you just pay attention to the text, the real trick is figuring out how to make it easier to get there.

Moreau posted:How does the study of Influences work? Is it similar Lore? i.e. Like to Like, or subversion? Ja, but you they don't have to match exactly in magnitude I think. Apparently you can do things like combine A Buzzing in the Brain with a Restlessness to get A Rattling in the Soul, which makes the system a lot more useful than I thought it was going to be.

Well, you can get some of the the lowest two tier influences through combinations but that's about it. Influence just fizzle out too fast and at higher level it will require matching magnitude. I think the system needs another pass to be useful.

Influence just fizzle out too fast and at higher level it will require matching magnitude. I think the system needs another pass to be useful. Freezing the timers on influences is actually pretty simple. I was experimenting with the system and was able to make a 15th level moth influence out of just memories and buzzing influences. Anything that can accept an influence but doesn't consume it will freeze the timer on the influence while it's in the slot. Talking with Sulochana if you're playing dancer, painting with an influence, and just dropping it in the study verb and leaving the window open are more than enough to make any influence you want, assuming you can get the seed influences and are patient. Also, there's only influence types for level 2, 6, 10, and 15, so it doesn't take as manby combines as you would expect compared to combining lores.

I'd much rather have a small chance of something going wrong on a mission than the way it was before, where nothing would go wrong ever and it was just a matter of sending the right summon or the correct pair of cultists. Curses can be countered now after you've gotten one as well, although you're probably not going to be able to do it without some foreknowledge.

The Fifth Eye Curse wanted a level 10+ Heart influence to roll it back, and happened on a Shires expedition. I've never even seen a L10+ Heart influence, so unless they got added to the Spider/Peacock doors in the last patch...

I think spider door ( I don't remember which path) can give level ten heart influences now yeah, and white door (left path) can give level 6 heart influences which can be thrown together to make a level 10 influence fairly easily. Edit: Found it, you can get tenth level heart from the spider door directly (the revealed one) Perpetual fucked around with this message at 04:46 on Oct 26, 2018 |

Okay, so it's actually obtainable now, at least... But you either need to line up a Spider door 60 seconds before the opening for a curse cancel and have it give the proper Influence, or line up 2 white doors and have both of them give the proper Influence, while also spinning the first one so it lasts long enough to merge. Seems like a very improbable run of luck.
