Anyone know what the version differences are between PC and mobile? I know the Dancer dlc isn't in, but unless I'm missing something I can't change my HQ either.

I got this a while back. Didn't know there was a thread. The game is oddly compelling. I've played 4 or 5 hours and it's very good. The only problem I have is can you really consider 2 people a cult? I read some Hellraiser poo poo and learned to beat rear end (that's what the icon looked like. I was unaware of UI scaling for the first couple hours) and me and my follower just did the rear end beating until we were both dead. Then the doctor that autopsied me found my notes and got radicalized by my rear end beating "cult" notes. Weird game. Kinda hooked on AC: Origins right now but definitely will beat more rear end in the future.

you can get more than one cult follower by Talking about things. you can also upgrade your cultists by Talking to your cult icon about them. The game tells you this stuff but it's kinda easy to miss. Get a Grail cult so that you can do more to rear end than just beating it.

Playing a Bright Young Thing. The lore I get out of it is a Port Noon Anecdote. I'm thinking sweet, these are annoying to get. Researching it pulls out the Hebe Stanton. Honestly I should have seen that coming.

Do any of the other lores have an effect on hunters? I tried talking to the weary detective about a few but trying to blind him with 12 lantern just made him more powerful.

If you hammer him with it some more, an Idealistic hunter can also be driven insane by Lantern lore. You're better off just sending someone to murder him, though.

Something I’d like for jobs is that they just get completely taken out of the way or verb and instead get integrated with the time passing verb. You use the job verb to apply to and upgrade your job, but otherwise time passing will occasionally spawn events you can choose to deal with or ignore. Some jobs have different events like increased chance of injury for manual labour. Your skills can be used to upgrade them, so if you have a high scholarship skill you can upgrade the clerk job. Add a few more jobs for flavour and make the job verb used for free time activities (keep painting). It’s just the absolute worst to have to keep updating the verb every minute or you get fired. Substitute it for a passive income and make money just another currency you use when you have a surplus.

I think that's the point. Having a day job is cutting into your valuable cult time. That's part of the reason you find ways to move up the ladder and relax the requirements and get rewarded for it. Or just quit when you can support your culting full time.

Things like Rituals interfering with keeping an office job are pretty intentional. As is work both taking mental effort and you hating it. Now, I will agree it would be a perfect thing to be able to tweak in a set of options, because I'd rather have someone enjoy a slightly muted experience to not being able to at all. But mostly, don't do jobs you can be fired from, unless you plan to stick at them. And, as is kind of my default on Cultist Simulator stuff : If it personally annoys you, use the debug menu to fix it. Just give yourself 200 funds or whatever. EDIT : And I forgot my main point in posting. Someone is doing a Screenshot LP of Cultist Simulator. https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3888951 I've already realised I totally glazed over the first acquantance and dream as the doctor.

am i mad, or can you now speak to summons about your stats? the raw prophet now offers to turn your Reason into a Decrepitude and teaches you the level 6 knock lore, whereas Ezeem offers protection from disease also is there a change in how to upgrade lore coming? all the lores have a Aspect: Requires... thing that indicates what you need to upgrade them now, and i am really not thrilled to see "there is a slight chance your reason may be permanently damaged" on some of them (specifically Formulae Vigilant). some of the others do indicate that having a certain skill (e.g. A Rarefied Mind) will provide actual benefit now; currently the only skills that help are the Health ones, so maybe this is an attempt to balance them up also the You Are Diseased verb has the right colour now - a sickly green! e: the maid in the mirror will give you the level 6 moth and decrepitude in exchange for passion (so does the Voiceless Dead, somehow), percussigiants will give protection from disease and trade reason for knock/decrepitude, the Hint gives nothing and the Caligne also gives nothing ee: holy poo poo you can finally get sick by buying opium!

alright yeah the new research system is pretty good. it takes less time than the previous one, and you know the barriers you have to pass ahead of time. it also makes subversion slightly harder, but upgrades slightly easier, and it's really easy to subvert or upgrade lower-level lores. the headquarters are now quite useful, too - some still better than others, but they all now have a genuine use that might make you think twice about swapping HQs too often still don't like the idea of damaging my passion or reason, but those are never the only options, and it's only for higher level lores.

To anyone playing with the ARG: *\Steam\steamapps\common\Cultist Simulator\cultistsimulator_Data\StreamingAssets\content\more\dinosaurs\dinosaurs.json quote:sapphire This seems relevant. The 'more' folder also includes more\elements\additional_test.json that seems like it renames 'So Hungry' to 'So Hangry' in the game. Seems like these were added on the 8th.

ShootaBoy posted:Oh nice. What details do we Know about this new stuff? Well, most of the general mechanic changes are already on the beta branch, namely new HQ options and new research mechanic. The new legacy will be similar to the Dancer in scope, it'll have it's own associated aspect (I forgot which one, knock?) and victory to pursue. Anniversary edition is just going to be the game, three DLC and soundtrack in a bundle. The DLC after the next is the Ghoul, associated with the winter lore.
