I've won the game by becoming a creature of infinite gloom and despair: an accountant

Sekenr posted:The writing is good as usual but Alexis really does suck at actual gamepley (also as usual). Resourse management is bad when there are dozens of different resources and I still don't unserstand why I can't do certain things. I put 2 glimmer into study and the button is grayed out? Have you already "trained" Passion once?

How do I know which aspects are used for expeditions? I've only done two, one by in a throwaway game where everyone died and one where I tossed a couple of hirelings that found some guards and promptly murdered them, but I have no idea why one worked and the other didn't.

How do I fulfil Comissions? I think I have the appropriate Lore but the box is asking for an Article

Dear diary: I'm probably going to quit this cult business and go full time paining. I have 200 Funds and a basically infinite amount of bullshit and Mystique that my buyers think is worth something. There is this random detective who has spent a 3 literal hours in my gallery trying to find something to charge me with, but that's a small price to pay.

Is there any way to know how many 'levels' of an Aspect do I need to pass each Location test? I'm just dumping a pair of hirelings on each expeditions to take the blows, but it's annoyingly slow.

Pirate Radar posted:Every obstacle you meet on an Expedition has the same difficulty levels; 1-4 levels is a low chance of success, 5-9 is a good chance, and 10+ is almost certain. Or do you mean “how do I tell which tests I need to pass in an Expedition? Autonomous Monster posted:The expedition hazards? It's the same for each hazard. 10 points is certain success for everything, lesser numbers I'm not sure of but cult business success rates are (apparently) 30% for 2 points (believers) and 70% for 5 points (disciples). Thanks. I was expecting that expeditions further away from the capital would be harder. Now to work my way though my the pile of locations I've accumulated from dreaming the gates

I give up, what’s the easiest way to summon something with Moth 10 to get rid of evidence? I’m sick of painting notoriety away.

Won my first not-living-a-boring-life game. I'm going to give it a rest and then try to actually make sense of things instead of putting cards wherever they fit. Feel fry to critizise my end game setup: I could probably have won 3-4 hours earlier, but didn't notice that [spoiler]"talking" to prisoners increased my Marks, so I was just piling up Lore just for the sake of accumulating it.

I think about them as investigators in Arkham Horror. People who are out of their depth, but have seen something they shouldn't have and just can't stop poking.

It probably means it's physically (digitally?) hidden, with another card being on top of it. Either that, or a bug. You shouldn't lose skills. FAKE EDIT: Did you try to learn the same language again? Unique cards (like rituals) disappear if you get a newer copy. Fat Samurai fucked around with this message at 12:31 on Jun 19, 2018 |

genericnick posted:Is there ever a reason you shouldn't combine you lores? Gaps in my matrix of lores make me tear my hair out. Keep them for a while, you'll know when you don't need lower level lores anymore. Specifically, you'll need a level 6 lore to pass the Stag Door. The needed lore will vary from game to game..

Meanwhile, I managed to lose by Health and by Dread at the same time on my first game. Got both achievements.

I have finished my third run, completing the three ascension paths, and now I have to hide/destroy the notebook I was using so people won't believe I'm mad.

The LP got me in the mood for another go. What are the Lores that don’t have an “appropriate” ending yet?

First run in a while (since Dancer), sure was happy to discover that they piled on more requirements on merging Lore. Sure it is thematic, sure merging needed an overhaul to make it more interesting and sure you can bypass some of the requirements with HQs/Skill, but gently caress you game either way.

Inexplicable Humblebrag posted:it is now significantly easier to merge lore, faster, and progress on failure is retained rather than it being all or nothing Oh, progress is retained? Ok, that's cool. New question: I'm going for a Heart ending. I've been dancing with Health, but for some reason I have a single Passion Scar. Will it cause any problem?

The biggest time sink in the game is my utterly idiotic need of having no gaps in my lore matrix.
