I agree, remove mission-abandoning and also give all enemies Death's Door.

Also: some trinkets have effects based on what rank you're in. Is the leftmost rank (back rank) rank 1, or rank 4?

It's a been a while since I booted this up, but is there anywhere that explains the turn / speed mechanics?

Basically, ignore your speed. Ignore anything to do with your speed. The enemy will always go first when you don't want them to, no matter how much faster your guys are supposed to be. To see this in action, visit the Cove.

Most of his new quotes from the ones I've heard are 'nastier' than his old ones. It's the only word that fits. More vicious, more destructive, darker than before. Maybe it's deliberate, maybe not.

Yeah, they're a bit more on-the-nose. Like, even the previous "violence is happening" lines like MORTALITY CLARIFIED IN A SINGLE STRIKE more sort of allude to what's going on, rather than explicitly revel in it.

I don't really mind, though, it just means the narrator as a whole has changed character. It'd be interesting to have it where the more bloodthirsty narration only comes out at higher dungeon levels or darker light levels, though.

Did you already get the shuffle on that one? Usually my 100 light surprise shuffles feel like they end with my healer up front and my melee at the rear end-end, but I'm probably just imagining Murphy's law. Getting a 'surprise' from a group that furthermore contains those tentacle-pull guys is the worst, nobody is in position and neither will they. I should know, they ended up killing the only jester I've seen in weeks.

Yeah, I was too slow with the print-screen key. The spiders only swapped my crusader and highwayman around.

I was about to leave without any shovels until I sold some food back, as well, as it was only a Short dive.

Bleh, don't like the sound of this. They avoided putting in wizards and druids, but an overtly evil/monstrous class honestly sounds like a much bigger breach of the setting. Gotta do what the idiot who donated $5,000 says I guess!

Do we know anything about the class other than the name, or are you simply vaulting to your own conclusions and getting upset at them

One of the post-mission narrator barks ends in something like "but I was already dead... and the letter was on its way..."

I got tired of trying to remember specific curio combos ("Wait, did I need the antivenom for the tree, or the holy water...?"), and wasn't really enjoying that aspect of the game, so made myself a quick cheat sheet based on wiki info.

I know for a fact that some of the information on the wiki is at least partly wrong or out of date (e.g. you can sometimes get treasure along with a spare torch--it's not always *just* a torch), but this seemed a lot better than nothing.

In my experience all of the wiki interactions are correct, although I've not done all the obviously harmful ones. What do you get when using Holy Water on the occult scrawlings?

I think this list doesn't take into account the bonus loot for low light levels though, which is where you might be getting your "loot in a torch sconce" scenario from. I've found Very Rare trinkets jammed in there before, which is a bit odd.

do you mean the first dungeon as in "stagecoach has crashed", or the first time after you go to the hamlet?

Inexplicable Humblebrag
Sep 20, 2003

you're either doing combat badly, you're forgetting to keep your light level at Radiant, or you're just being unlucky. two of these can be fixed!

it is generally better to remove enemy turns than spend your own on healing; whether this is by stunning or killing depends on the circumstances of any given round.

as for your light, you want about a torch per room plus a couple spare, so that's 8 for a small dungeon. i remember getting wrecked by stupidly accurate bandits until i realised that the thing in the top centre of the screen needed attention.

e: testing this, i have just realised the guaranteed Vestal in the first stagecoach batch is not guaranteed to have Dazzling Light, which sucks

Inexplicable Humblebrag
Sep 20, 2003

you can do that once your guys have some skills, armour, trinkets, or indeed literally anything at all outside of being freshfaced scrubs straight off the stagecoach. low light equals more treasure but also more danger.

All traps have different effect, but the one in the Cove is by far the nastiest, especially since the enemies there generally stronger.

This is a balancing problem on their part, not a planned thing, right? It's not like the Cove gives particularly hefty rewards.

it used to be worse. the fishmen used to give you 3 bleed over 3 turns from their swords

it is a balancing issue. it is slightly mitigated by the fact that there are better curios there, if you are lucky; healing coral is great to cure your twitching drink-addled clumsy limpwristed heroes, and is not rare

I still don't think the Cove is that bad in its current state. The spear fish don't have super high accuracy or crit and can only use the more damaging sword attack from the front. Meanwhile, in exchange for their slightly higher average damage there don't seem to be as many effective stress attackers or DOTs.
