OK, this is great, but I have no idea what I'm doing. I'm in the first night and slightly confused. Is there a visual tell when a dude is a robber? I've seen several fights, and would like to help the townfolk and steal stuff. Also, several NPCs have suggested I could pick herbs to earn money. Is this something I can only do later? Because I ran around the steppe for ingame hours and found nothing.

RBA Starblade posted:They use similar models - the guys in white makeup are always going to fight you, for instance. They also generally mutter at you first. youcallthatatwist posted:which game are you playing? first or second? In the first game all the robbers have their own model, with the random street fights being a unique first-day event. In both games the herbs only appear from the second day onward. Thank you. I suppose I can use the cupboard next to the couch as a store? At least for a time?

OK, still a few questions: Is there any reason not to stab the bandits at night? Since one of the encounters got me the death tutorial I feel a lot less blase about fumbling around with my fists. Also there is that one guy who tries to pressure sell me a pistol. Should I go for it? Finally, is there a reason to keep a second scalpel around or can you safely sell those?

Heh, great hand in real estate. Did I do anything to trigger the plague? The judge gave me a letter to deliver to a boarded up building if I want to keep my house. Which did lose quite a bit of value over night apparently.

The Cheshire Cat posted:Do you mean in gameplay or in story? Was thinking in gameplay terms. Because the timing was slightly weird. Though there is a certain humor in getting a stay of execution on your house under the condition you deliver a letter past the plague barrier into a boarded up house to a dead minor official within 24 hours.

It's also extremely funny to me that we could save so many people if we could just find a bicycle for the doc. Edit: Also for everyone starting out: Try to get basic sewing supplies early and go full hobodoc. I didn't check the garbage binds for most of the first day and regret it deeply. genericnick fucked around with this message at 15:56 on Feb 16, 2020 |

ilitarist posted:This is one of the cultural things that makes this game problematic for the Western audience, I don't think anyone East of Warsaw ever needed any hints to check bins. I don't think any RPG player needs hints to dig in the thrash. But for some reason you have a key to highlight NPCs that will talk to you, quests and quest connected containers, but not normal containers and it took me a bit to notice.

Well, a knife bandit on day 2. How do you deal with that? Just run away Buy the gun Entirely unrelated: How often can you die until it really hurts?

Well, I'm done with a playthrough and I think we have established that I'm bad at video games. I didn't find Taya until day 10 and basically missed the whole story with the kin. I could have sworn I looked at every door on all the levels, but apparently not. Also I thought I needed an army coat for the third level of inventory upgrade. So much unnecessary hassle.

youcallthatatwist posted:are you planning on doing another playthrough? what ending did you choose? I think I'll go for another round once my new PC arrives. There seem to be a lot of character interactions I missed the first time. I blew the polyhedron up. Mostly because it felt like doing something.

I have to admit that I started before we had local cases. And since causes have to precede effects.... Good work on the immersion though!

Finished a second run through, because it feels appropriate. Can someone fill me in on what Rubin was doing? That is probably the only quest I never got around to doing. The second ending is pretty haunting, but overall I wouldn't really recommend a full second run. Too many of the mechanisms that added to the oppressive atmosphere the first time are just tedious the second.

The Cheshire Cat posted:You can stash items in any of the named characters houses and it will stick around, although you will get your own storage pretty soon anyway. At least in the stash right next to the sleeping place. Don't store things in the food cupboard in the Shelter. Though I never tried it.

. Combat is not great in this game, I have no weapons, and there's no way out of this scenario except combat. Walkthroughs say to glitch their AI by running away, which deflated the tension more lol. But even running got me stuck in a punch loop, and my health goes from 90 to 0 in half of a second. I'm more upset by the death punishments than anything else. This area has to be an oversight.

Corte posted:Any general tips would be appreciated, don't want to spoil story stuff but like little tricks regarding mechanics I wouldn't mind knowing such as: I'm not sure the rules do anything to be honest. You can figure out which of the caches is loaded by drinking the aclcohol/tincture whatever it was called. One of the more cost effective ways to get food is to buy nuts and trade with the kids for better stuff

In Training posted:I broke into houses left and right to stab freaks to death and often times it wound up with me just having more plague and less food, so I guess their intentions worked out. The best moment I had early on was when I saw a cop beat a looter to death and I walked up to cut his heart out to sell it to the organ donor and the cop instantly blew my brains out when I clicked on the surgery button.
