I'm voting for acid blood and poison vulnerability for our  this time. After we're done with initial exploration, I'd say Piotrek for our next line of action.edit: update on previous page

azren is the official thread page-starter. And THIS is the official thread SECOND EXPLORATION OF THE SILENT FOREST! [  We're all explored out. We gotta do SOMETHING, all who haven't voted! (Looks like ACID BLOOD will be our next positive perk!) If you've already voted, that's cool. For the rest of you: Exits are: NORTH, VILLAGE, WOLFIE, PIOTREK, HOG PEN

Ha, okay, the dream was pretty good. If you're going to do a meet-the-devs, find-credits easter egg you need to integrate it into the game in a way that makes sense, or else put it outside the game in a separate menu, and this worked better than most.

The locked door in the dev dream... I wonder what's there if someone edited in a lockpick for the player to use. Or if it's just empty space on the other side. Also, why have you been selling the firearms ammunition? Is it plentiful by the time you actually get access to a firearm or is investing in a firearm actually a boondoggle and a big ol' axe/shovel actually superior?

I would guess Bacter's been selling the ammo to save on space, since it's useless until you actually get a gun and inventory/storage space is my biggest gripe with what I've seen of this game so far. When gameplay is based around looting and crafting, you need a reasonable amount of pocket space because you need to carry stuff with you. I really hope there are some decent upgrades throughout the game because backtracking to empty your pockets multiple times per day when daylight is limited is kind of bullshit. Obviously you don't want to be able to easily carry everything you could ever want, resource management is clearly a core part of the game and the realism of it is part of the immersion, but I think it's pushed too far in the other direction at the moment and is just irritating.

That's the same impression I get. He just wants a shotgun, at some point. Until then, just sell everything else.

As much as I don't like it, Wolfe needs a chat, and also maybe there is some way to restore the power to Hog Hole? I mean we want to help fellow survivors right?

This is it exactly. It’s very possible to cripple yourself by hoarding for the future. Before 1 or 2 more levels of crafting, ammo might as well be shiny stones. And i agree about the constant trips being kind of annoying. At least I don’t have to eat/drink! In fairness to the game, a regular play might include lots more exploratory crafting and boarding. I’ve been doing only “good” crafting and defense so far.

Hey, I'm really thankful for this LP, I'm enjoying it so much! I'm a backer for this game and did play quite a bit in the early Alpha days, but then kind of got burned out. When it finally released the final build I played only for a bit, died a lot (mostly by stepping on poison mushrooms, and once to a hilariously overpowered monster), couldn't figure out a viable strategy and eventually gave up. I still love the way they deal with the darkness, the field of sight, the sounds, the amazing character art. I'm less partial to the dream sequences (I got lost in that first one). Anyway, thanks again for doing this; I look forward to seeing what I've been missing out on. If I may get in on the voting, I go for Piotrek as the next step.

Piotrek needs us to go say hi. Also, I think you are the baddie Bactar. Killing dogs and elk and people and homeowners and pigs and thieving and burning things with molotov and setting up bear traps for random people to step on and shooting yourself up with who knows what. Be better

How is Bacter supposed to explore properly and avoid killing dogs when the dogs have declared nearly everywhere their territory? Is he just supposed to let them gnaw his arms off while trying to get to Wolfie's house or grab another can of gas? And if so, why stop there? Why not climb in the oven when he gets home and cook himself up for a good healthy meal for the dang mangy mutts??

Dogs are, it must be stressed, USUALLY good. Is a dog still a dog when it's a twisted rotting monstrocity? What about when it's a wolf? LET'S FIND OUT! We got enough votes for BOTH Wolfie and Piotrek that I started their respective quests each, and went a step further and explored where Wolfie told me to. And folks, this is a treat of an episode. And at the END of it, oh MAN are we at a crossroads. This is the time to step up and decide what we're going to do with this place. Rather than just a single vote, I'm going to describe the situations, and you tell me more or less what you'd like to see done.  Descriptions below Wolfie: We've got his key. We could give it to him, or we could not. If we don't give it to him, we could assume that he won't take the betrayal well, and decide to do a little preemptive striking, or we could NOT do that, and see what other wonders he works in the world. Also, he urged us to kill the pig that's supplying the villagers. He's also got some ideas re: piotrek. See the bonus video for that. Musician: He also wants the key. He SOUNDS kinder, but also maybe a bit of a creepy and stalker-y? And is he a mutant? We could go to the silo to talk to him more, go to the silo and give him the key, ignore him, or ambush him at the silo and finish him off before he can work any mischief. He said he wants some meat from the pig pen. Pig Pen: The lady in the burned house told us to kill the pig. Wolfie told us to kill the pig. The musician said he'd like some meat from the pig pen. The villagers are starving without it being fed. We know the cables were cut, sabotaging their ability to feed it. We have some replacement cables. We can't get in the pigpen itself without fighting the villagers. We can TOTALLY take them on, and aren't you curious? But then, maybe it's best not to go in. We could: go in and kill ALL the villagers, try to sneak in only killing a FEW villagers, try to kite the villager away from the pigpen, and make it in to see what's up but not kill anybody. We could fix the cables, or not. Once the cables are fixed, we can also turn on the power or not. Piotrek: He wants a bunch of spare parts. I've been collecting them, so we can give them all to him right now. Of course, what he might DO with them doesn't sound safe. He has no pig pen opinions as far as I know. Wolfie, as mentioned, has some... Piotrek ideas.  Alternatively: we can ALWAYS head north. Maybe it's time, now that we know where the church is! Alternatively alternatively: killing EVERYBODY is also an option. They're headed downhill. Maybe (and I genuinely do mean maybe, given this game) that's the best for them. Discussion welcome. Sorry for the long update - wasn't really a good breaking point. Hey, how are the nights going? Bacter fucked around with this message at 21:33 on Apr 22, 2020 |

Give Wolfie the key. I don't trust either of them, but he seems more likely to a. reward us and b. kill us if we cross him Kill the pig. The villagers are starving anyway and they seem bad? It doesn't bear thinking about what they were feeding it before. Kill as many of them as you can/need to. Give Piotrek the parts. Why not. Might be fun?

I’d prefer to help Wolfie than the musician kid. Wolfie has actually helped us and I’d rather not get on his bad side. Quite a few people want us to kill the pig so that seems to be a fair option. Though I’m a bit perturbed by him, might as well give Pirotek his stuff. Better that than clogging up inventory space.

Crane Fist posted:Give Wolfie the key. I don't trust either of them, but he seems more likely to a. reward us and b. kill us if we cross him This all seems like pretty sound logic to me. I guess we can also give some meat to the Musician in continuation of our goal of not pissing off any of the named characters until we absolutely have to, since he's the only one who specifically asked for meat instead of just killing the pig and this might make him less salty about not getting the key. (Maybe we can keep some for ourselves too, it's got to be better than the stuff we've been eating. Pork goes well with mushrooms.) And if we give Piotrek this junk we don't have to carry it and waste our precious, precious pocket space.

Wolfie: Give him the key. He's been a bro. Surely nothing can go wrong from giving the key belonging to an old grandmother living in the forest to a wolf. Musician: Give the dude some meat. Do not give him the key. Pig Pen: Fix the cables, and if that means people start getting eaten we kill the pig and drat the consequences. Piotrek: Help him go to space. He has a dream in this mad world, it won't make things any worse if we help him. Pretty sure. I mean, exploding a chunk of the map probably won't make things any worse than they are.

Always help Mr. Wolf. He is possibly some murderous anthropomorphic animal-person, but he is the most sane individual around here. Fix the cables. And stick to a mushroom diet. Don't help Piotrek. Poland Cannot Into Space. OutofSight fucked around with this message at 14:40 on Apr 22, 2020 |
