Can anyone confirm how to make special paintings? I know you can do it with lore 6 + relevant pigment + four passion, but I don't know if you can do it with less passion, with reputation, with less lore etc?

lets hang out posted:Weary Detective is my friend and I will never harm him Something odd I noticed: Weary Detective's text says that he'd 'Rather be at home with his London Gazette', which seems to be the only place in the game where setting is identified as England. Everywhere else it's these euphemisms, 'the capital', 'the continent' 'the far mountains' etc. Also, did anyone else get Weary Detective as their first investigator? At one point in development and endless procession of him was the 'prize' you got for killing off all of the named investigators.

Pirate Radar posted:I wouldn’t be surprised if that ritual simply does exactly what it says and just kills someone random for no benefit to you (unless you get insanely lucky and it’s the investigator) Alexis Kennedy likes having game mechanics that say up front that they'll screw you for no benefit and mean what they say. It's something of a trademark of his. AFAIK Weary Detective is your reward for defeating all of the named investigators. He's very weak and often won't produce evidence at all. It seems that you can get him randomly as well however.

So (spoilers?) It seems pretty clear that there's a destroy-the-world ending that involves helping the sun god reclaim its former glory in here somewhere. Has anyone got any ideas?

Autonomous Monster posted:Is that clear? What are you seeing that makes you think that? The achievement, the foreshadowing 'Dream of the Cleansing Dawn', that a Cthulhu cultist game not having a destroy-the-world ending would be really weird. But mostly that the developer said there was on the kickstarter page. Unless there isn't and the goal is to go mad looking for it.

Pirate Radar posted:I hope so. Also, now I definitely want to figure out how to pass through the Tricuspid Gate. You do pass the gate in the endings we have, it's just that that's the end of the game. The enlightenment ending feels pretty final, in that the character passes on to a place where the audience can't meaningfully follow. The power ending on the other hand feels like its just a first step towards the actual goal of becoming an hour.

Somewhere in one of the pre-release interviews Alexis Kennedy sited an urban fantasy webcomic as a particular influence on Cultist Simulator. I read some of it, really enjoyed it, then completely lost track of it. There were strips involving: - A demon who prefers imitating his human hosts exactly because it's more of a challenge than the Exorcist routine. - A country where everyone's birth name is a state secret and everyone uses pseudonyms. - A phone game that samples names from the players contact list and also involves sinister hooded creatures. Ring any bells for anyone?

Speedball posted:Mostly because they're based on the three most popular reasons you'd found a cult: power, pleasure, or ultimate knowledge. "Change" is a lot more nebulous a concept. Not sure about the final result, but the Colonel's cultists are charged with assassinating those Long who try to make it on their own without an hour as a patron. That's why they hide away in Port Noon.

Initially the idea seemed to be that you'd get the named investigators first and Weary Detective was your 'reward' for defeating all of them. Its not clear why this was reversed.
