Who would the most royal Fallen London character be? And specifically FL, the Sunless games expand the scope so much that it's an entirely different discussion.

Better answer: That first player who made a choice while deep into Seeking that should have permanently destroyed their character. The Ferris Wheel to the surface. They took it, but it didn’t destroy their character, so they filed a big report.

They got a unique title/item for it, one that no one else will ever get... and they decided to finish Seeking and destroyed their character in an entirely different way.

Actually I've got a question regarding Sunless Sea if nobody's got a problem with a quick diversion, seeing as we've got a few fans here. And it's just a request for explanation of the ending of the ambition to sail east. Specifically what "Traveller Returning" is and who the "pale, white thing" is.

I'm a very literal man, you see, and that game nearly destroyed me.

studio mujahideen

Oh that's actually a really complex question, and I'm not current on FL Prime stuff so it may have been elaborated more, but the long and short of it is that a Judgement (which are the the stars/suns) came into the Neath a long time ago to investigate what Our Sun hid down there. Remember the bit in the ending where the sky begins to light up like you're back on the surface, but the light is coming from beneath the waves? That's it. It's still searching for.....something, even though we know what the sun hid (it's lover and child)? It is the Traveler and also Salt? The 'pale, white thing' is a sort of long alluded to mystery, most likely another Judgement. In my theories it's always been the moon, but its described as a "hall of poisonous white crystal." Its the one who sent Salt on the journey.

Part of the problem is that Judgements tend to exist outside of linear time to some degree

I've found Sunless Skies notably better about this than their earlier offerings, but I also was terrified of accidentally dying and resetting my story progress the entire way through. But man, is the writing fantastic.

There's one Ambition that you can fail due to RNG and it's just, ugh. Still haven't bothered savescumming my way through that one, interesting as it is.

Solving all of life's problems through enhanced casting of Occam's Razor. Reward yourself with an imaginary chalice.

Fallen London's lore is really fun to get into and pick apart the intricacies of because they flow on an elegant level in motion and when you put them in more blunt terms it's actually pretty funny to consider the logistics of.

That said, Sunless Skies is the better game/product due to being unapologetically political, queer, easy to access with difficulty sliders that don't just call you an idiot for wanting to play for the plot and the plot itself is also less obtuse to understand. Also it was made absent of Kennedy who is a sex pest weirdo who likes to make things needlessly grindy and hard.

I gotta say, the Kennedy stuff coming out made for my absolute worst week in the past year, including the pandemic.

I wrote about 30,000 words of literary analysis on Cultist Simulator and got my essay retweeted by Kennedy two months before finding out I never wanted to touch that lore ever again. And I'd finished about 20,000 words of followup commentary literally the day before learning the sex pest stuff along with the rest of the cultsim discord.

I am never going to get into FL/SS/SSkies because of sheer bitter frustration, even though they're pretty thoroughly post-Kennedy by all accounts.

Yeah you can just throttle fuel and supplies consumption way the hell down and go further out into the High Wilderness. Combat's still pretty dangerous but they changed trading and running goods to be good bread and butter for upgrades/new ships while port reports alone will cover your provisions and gas.

There's some stuff that lingers but, hey, valid. I do think Skies was completely absent of him because it's actually fun to play but yeah big mood on all of those other feelings.

good to know, I enjoyed Sunless Seas but it was hella grind. Basically once I proved I could do a given thing (Enigma trading or whatever) I would cheat myself more cash just to speed poo poo along.

The idea of sinking 20 hours into a game then getting smacked with a pretty hard reset is no Bueno. Did the same thing with Cultist Sim.
