Is it possible to run from a mugger then go into stealth and beat them down? My knives are broken but I can just ko them if they don't run if you're doing that.

Though I have bigger problems now anyway

Made it to day 9 and ah what is this waiting in the theater quest. Are you supposed to do something or does the situation just eventually resolve itself? I already auto-failed it by walking out after the hour passed. On a happier note I finally managed to max out the fund and sweet mother of food. :swoon:


EDIT: Eh and there's the first death which rebooted me all the way back to the start of the day.-- That's what I get for feeling in control of immunity, food and water for the first time ever. Punched from full health to dead by three dudes in less than 15 seconds.

you can also aggro dudes, block to charge your stamina, run past them, and then around 1/3 full, block to charge it up again before they de-aggro. lets you zoom around town a bit faster

in terms of loot, pocketwatches, rings and bracelets are all worth a lot of money and twyrine is common and sells for a little bit

I'm kinda stuck on the termitary, killing the 4 roaming kin just seems impossible bar incomprehensible luck when all you have to work with is the dagger. First death was just one of them running at me alone, surviving 4 stabs to the face and then punching me to death in three measly hits. Second deaths I tried to sneak (very effective for the first kill) but then one of them came running from the top floor before I got the chance to stab another. Three of them punched me to death

How are you supposed to do this? I presume the list is in danger if I just leave and let time pass but this just seems impossible without firearms.

fighting spoilers: you should be able to engage them one at a time. if you cant, just aggro the pack and run until three of them gently caress off. a knife or menhku's finger should take them out in two stabs. never use the slash

i think i had a knife and its just bam bam over and over. i never had to fight two at once


avoidance spoilers light: there is another solution. you do not need to engage them at the termitary. the kin will respect something other than strength
avoidance spoilers heavy: if you ignore them there, like a day and a half later oyun will want to talk to you. the thing he gets you to do will let you resolve the apostates without fighting

very minor observations about the list: in general it should be noted that the list is almost fully exclusive from the story, and failing objectives does not necessarily force you to miss everything past it. unless your list is explicitly threatened, they are not threatened

I don't know about the list but the game is pretty clearly designed as a whole that you can miss or fail a lot and life goes on as long as you do. Probably should at least try to keep the kids alive though (and your buss).

So I loving love this game. My bf was a big fan of the first one and I love watching him play it. Wasn't a big fan of the first one, but depression and long breaks were quite a big reason for that. The second one improves almost every aspect. I really like the pacing and unsettling moments, as first game just threw you into it and there wasn't really that many interesting events.

I want to play along while trying to find different things and drink booze as often as possible to find all of those "the town calls you" spots.
Now, my PC sucks, so my only opportunity is to play it on his, and I want to ask a simple question: are there save slots? Like what happens if you start a new game? Because I'd really like to play it myself, too, but I'm really wary of the game just saving over his progress on the 3rd day. And if the game doesn't support it, what if I family-share our steam accounts and play it under mine. Are there separate saves on multiple accounts?
I've never done anything like that, so I don't want to accidentally reset progress. Not that it's hard to get back, it's just interesting to see where our gently caress-ups get us.

At the same time there's a scene the first time you die where Mark berates the hell out of you for being so stupid and explains the death mechanic in wonderfully verbose terms. Seriously, the dialogue is a joy to read and interpret, it's like playing the Malkavian route from VtM:B except everyone else is Malkavian and they won't tell you everything goddamn it.

Please die a ton and read all the Mark dialogue because localizing that fucker's monologues in a way that was cryptic and verbose-but-natural-and-not-terrible-sounding, while also being faithful to the nuanced meaning of the philosophy of the Russian lines, was a huge ordeal.
