e: the Mechanimists at the bottom of Bethesda Susa just abruptly went nuts and murdered that Phinwhatever Hoshaia, High Priest of the Rock guy. They just started stabbing each other and then when the fight died down they all rushed the High Priest and killed the poo poo out of him.

Yeah, that's something I've complained about before, I think.

As an Esper, you have a very strong incentive to stack the gently caress out of Ego. All your powers will level up with you if you do, which means you can save your MP for unlocking even more powers, which will all get amped up as soon as you learn them from your insane Ego modifier. The drawback is that you aren't combat effective without your powers, but you'll be getting such good prices at shops you can afford to stockpile a few dozen grenades for emergencies.

As a Chimera, you have to split your stats between Str, Dex, and Con, and can't afford to unlock new powers because you're spending all your MP on your existing ones to keep them useful. You don't need to worry (as much) about cooldowns or getting ambushed, but whatever you took at character creation is all you can do forever and shopkeepers will be constantly ripping you off.

I think I found a bug in the reputation system. I killed a legendary snapjaw who was loved by the villagers of Joppa for cooking them a splendid meal, and it actually increased my reputation with the villagers. I still lost reputation with the snapjaws, though.

I discovered that you can pick up the Mechanimists' sacred well and carry it around with you on your adventures. It only weighs one pound! You can just drop it down wherever and throw stuff into it to get some Mechanimist cred whenever you need it. No pilgrimage required!

I tried beguiling several equimaxen with the mutation more than high enough and upper 20s ego and couldn't get any to join. Beginning to think something's wrong.

Here's an album of the faction standings of a character I beat the main story with. I've also wander around a bit, but I don't think I've done a whole lot of pink mob killing. I hope it's useful!

Anime Schoolgirl posted:

Just for the record you're also taking rep values for people who ground up reputation with Mechanimists, right? Because otherwise I won't be able to contribute a whole lot

I wonder if it was an equipment wonk, based on the flowers reputation. For a while there seemed to be some kind of flummery with equipment reputation bonuses - I was getting weird behaviour with my flower reputation when I equipped and removed a portable beehive. I'm thinking this could be the same situation but with an Issachari banner or something, depending on how old the character is.

If you're willing to accept a loss in order to launder your water into more convenient currency, you could buy up incredibly expensive schematics and books.

I agree though, please add more types of jewelry and vendors that sell them. I want to wander around encrusted with gems and precious metals like some kind of psychic mutant Mr. T.

Oh hell yes.

This is not a thing I expected to say, but it feels like special cave biomes - specifically, slime and fungus - are a little too common.

Slime is just a slog () and fungus can cause nontrivial amounts of character planning problems (and also really piss off the Phyta, for whatever that's worth).

Thank you but I found the name Ctesippus and am getting mixed results for th- and hard K. I think Ctacean (Cetacean?) is latin and Ctesiphus sounds super greek so I dunno if that's where I would start. I'd like to request dev input.

I think I'm going to adopt a kitty.

when did wikia go from being kind of bad to being more ad than site

also the caves of qud wiki is super incomplete and not very good in general

I thought about the fungal stuff on my bike ride home from work and I think the reason I dislike it so much is that it feels like the cure for the infections requires a sort of meta-game wiki like knowledge or knowledge an advanced player has. I have played about 20 hours of Qud since buying it a month or so ago and I am really taken with the game. I feel I have an OK grasp on the mechanics but the infections just irk me such that if red rock has the fungal stuff I just restart the game, which is sad because I think some aspects of the fungal biome are really cool, like the weeps. When I first got glowcrust I had zero idea how to find the cure, I had to google it and discovered that this jungle village existed. I was immediately screwed because glowcrust meant I was essentially defenceless so I couldn't get there. Another time with glotrot I couldn't get the book of the ape guy because there was no way I could afford it. I think they present a big stumbling block and now, even though I know what to do if I get one, I will still restart the game instead of trying to cure the disease. All being said the infections are inventive, interesting and thematic, I love the concept, but the execution doesn't work for me. I should also note I am not a huge Roguelike player outside of genre classics like FTL and Minesweeper, but the theme of CoQ is what drew me in.
