i sort of considered it "your personal attention" and was ok with it until i read the above and realised "oh poo poo, you can pause and do stuff can't you" in other news, gently caress permanently losing stat cards due to rear end in a top hat idiot cultists not succeeding on "we'll certainly defeat this curse" checks!! 90% max success chance leads to amazing instances of King Crucible and Ezeem being driven off by some fuckin' villagers every so often

lol you just quoted something to say it's a spoiler and wrapped it in spoiler tags so no-one has a clue what it is without mousing over it and i am of the opinion that i do not have better things to do with my verbs than Substantial and Very Substantial commissions. the spintriae are extremely useful, as ritual resource, a source of Funds, or for fixing broken things. a silver one is like 8 funds at least - and a glimmering/erudition, which is handy if you're merging lore - in exchange for 20seconds talk, 60 seconds work, and, what, 60 seconds explore or so? iron ones can gently caress off though. useless chunks of nothingness

heart influence on demand is also extremely useful for curses generate a level 2 heart, and work oop ta mines at the same time with unskilled labour; study your heart with the resultant vitality, you have a Pulsing Air which you can talk to sulochana or a summon about to keep alive. do it twice and you can study them into a Pounding Air, which is enough for any curse apart from the wriggly ones. it uses almost all your verbs but i prefer the certainty of this to trying to gamble with dreams. in just under three minutes you can generate a level 10 influence, so if you do it the instant your guys gently caress up a 90% chance you shouldn't get harmed by curses

It is worth tanking the longs, then once you're ready for your endgame, rile them up and kill them If you get too rowdy too quickly they will crush you though. I've only fought 'em in reality and in dreams, but as they get to the higher levels of power their attacks are really quite damaging. Never seen a high level intriguer, not sure what that direct conflict involves I ain't spoiling this because it's really just confirmation that a game mechanic works as described in-game, but again - you really don't want to face a powerful long without a very mature cult, so try not to block their early attacks.

Bloody Pancreas posted:I think what gets me most about this game is how same-y it is. Every run is the same followers with the same affiliations, the same patrons with the same basic research requests, the same books and expeditions with the same rewards. Even the Mansus with its ephemeral nature is practically solid with the same sets of rewards along its paths each playthrough. This game definitely needed some aspect of personalized experience, probably through randomization, in each run outside of the starting scenario/cult focus. It really does need some variation. Modding it is pretty trivial though; the hardest part would be creating the requisite art for new cards. I might try and create a randomised mansus mod, but the tricky bit there would be working out the impact of changing e.g. access to Heart influences

you can get more than one cult follower by Talking about things. you can also upgrade your cultists by Talking to your cult icon about them. The game tells you this stuff but it's kinda easy to miss. Get a Grail cult so that you can do more to rear end than just beating it.

am i mad, or can you now speak to summons about your stats? the raw prophet now offers to turn your Reason into a Decrepitude and teaches you the level 6 knock lore, whereas Ezeem offers protection from disease also is there a change in how to upgrade lore coming? all the lores have a Aspect: Requires... thing that indicates what you need to upgrade them now, and i am really not thrilled to see "there is a slight chance your reason may be permanently damaged" on some of them (specifically Formulae Vigilant). some of the others do indicate that having a certain skill (e.g. A Rarefied Mind) will provide actual benefit now; currently the only skills that help are the Health ones, so maybe this is an attempt to balance them up also the You Are Diseased verb has the right colour now - a sickly green! e: the maid in the mirror will give you the level 6 moth and decrepitude in exchange for passion (so does the Voiceless Dead, somehow), percussigiants will give protection from disease and trade reason for knock/decrepitude, the Hint gives nothing and the Caligne also gives nothing ee: holy poo poo you can finally get sick by buying opium!

alright yeah the new research system is pretty good. it takes less time than the previous one, and you know the barriers you have to pass ahead of time. it also makes subversion slightly harder, but upgrades slightly easier, and it's really easy to subvert or upgrade lower-level lores. the headquarters are now quite useful, too - some still better than others, but they all now have a genuine use that might make you think twice about swapping HQs too often still don't like the idea of damaging my passion or reason, but those are never the only options, and it's only for higher level lores.

it is now significantly easier to merge lore, faster, and progress on failure is retained rather than it being all or nothing

fun fact - if you have two different obstacles to overcome, both of which can be fulfilled by a permanent card like a skill or a hideout, you only have to submit it once this means you can merge the highest trivially-amassed Secret Histories from the stag door with just a glimmering and morland's shop, into unresolved ambiguities

# ¿ May 21, 2019 21:34 |

i think disposable cards are used up, but permacards stay. this may not in fact be intended behaviour and yeah the one you don't need to get by doing an expedition is easily the best hideout if you do a lot of exploring and encounter a lot of curses and your rear end in a top hat idiot cultists can't succeed at a goddAMN 90% CHANCE IDIOTS. three minutes and basically all your verbs and you have enough heart influence to fend off anything but Nowhere

thanks to a slow weekend spent on call, i have now finished both Priest and Ghoul DLCs summary: they are good. they are quite different from the base three ascensions, and occupy a difficulty niche somewhere between the base ones (inc. moth) and the newgame+ apostle legacies. think of them as newgame1.5 i guess, or if you want to be an rear end in a top hat you can think of the knock ascension as "asp-ostle" priests get a shitload of money and ghouls get influence-based benefits (and a seemingly limitless amount of mystique), and the logical leaps required for victory are more than base game, less than apostles. for £2.50 each they are Good Inexplicable Humblebrag fucked around with this message at 20:47 on Jun 2, 2019 |
