Well, I got softlocked. It’s Day 7, I need Titus to tell me the whole truth. But I’ve either completed every other side quest or failed their white check. Exhausted pretty much every single dialogue option with everyone multiple times. Bought things with money in case things gave experience. But I just don’t have enough to hit the next level.

This is my first replay so at least I didn’t get locked out of an ending. But this is pretty crappy design.

Pretty sure you can't fully softlock, the progression of time also can open certain white checks. Just keep advancing, reading books if you have to move time forward.

Someone said Day 7 causes automatic story progression but it did nothing for me. I don’t know what to be waiting around for. Do I just keep reading books while checking the list of white checks every morning? How is there any guarantee that the white checks will unlock? It’s a wild, painful way to play this game.

But ok, Measurehead's portrait is a bit abstracted. Maybe it's just too much for the AI to pick up on.

If you've already failed one of the white checks with Titus twice, when you fail it for the third time and onward you're given the option to advance the story by having Kim bail you out.

The thing is I dont have enough skill points to unlock the check and I don’t have enough quests to generate XP for new skill points. I motored through all the side quests, talked to everyone multiple times through every dialogue branch, and have nothing else left to do.

Can you post a screenshot of the locked check against Titus? Does it show you your modifiers?

If you unlock a new modifier, i think it unlocks the white check. In my case, i thought i was soft locked, but then i found a forgotten line of inquiry with Joyce, which unlocked the check, and let Kim bail me out.

On the subject of checks, what's up with thoughts that are supposed to unlock certain checks? They just...don't. E.g. the Contact Mike one should unlock FYS skills but hasn't.

Can you post your quest log (the one on the map screen)? Might help cut out people asking if you've tried stuff you already tried.

Can you upload your save file to Google drive? Maybe one of us can gently caress around and see what turns up.

Vegetable
Oct 22, 2010

I would really love to upload my save game but I just spent 30 minutes figuring out how to do so with my Deck and am failing miserably.

This is my quest log:



Every quest has either a locked white check or is story-gated.

I just sold Kim’s handkerchief so I could stay at the inn again and complete the Interfacing check in the mirror. Still not enough XP for a level up.

I then realized I hadn’t chased down Klassje’s buoy even after she mentioned it. I went to the location and there was just no option to interact with it. I have 10 perception and even took some speed to boost it further. Apparently plenty others have faced the same bug.

I think this save game just isn’t for me. I can live with this soft lock. I’ll go play something else. This second playthrough really erased a lot of the nostalgia for me. The game is so raw mechanically. I feel like when I enjoy myself it’s in spite of the game. I’d much rather this had been a text adventure.

This is why it's ok to save scum any white check past, oh, 80%.

Have you considered just fiddling with the save file and give yourself skill points that you then invest so you can do the white check again?

Is there not an earlier save to go back to? The advice against save scumming and rolling with dice failures doesn't mean "never make more than one save" :psyduck:.

It checks out though. Japan has no tolerance for old men over anime fuckbois. I always remember the first Nier game, which actually replaced the protagonist for the Japanese release because the devs thought Japanese audiences wouldn't want to play a game starring a middle-aged dad, so they made him into a sexy older brother instead.

on the contrary, both versions were released in japan (pokemon-style as two separate editions of the same game) but only the dad version was localized and released in the west until the recent remaster which is based on the other version
