You try to be happy when everyone is summoning you everywhere to "be their friend".



The one gripe I have is what is the point of dating someone in the Civil Corps if I can't smooch them while we are in the ruins together

There's also a character that straight up without warning fucks off outta the game if you marry them. Just leaves you a vague letter.

I love how "reference" in a piece of media from a country with IP laws means "a vague homage or quote," whereas in China it just means "literally lift characters from the thing"

No you can get them from the dots in the regular ruins. I know for sure you can in the one behind the civil corps.

Who's the best person to marry? Are there any gameplay effects depending on who your spouse is, or are they all the same?

At first I was thinking of marrying Ginger because I thought her umbrella hat was cute, but I did some research and apparently it's very hard to romance her and after you do she dies. Is this true? It's a little hard to find info on this game.

Now I kind of want to marry Phyllis because she seems really cool, also has a cute hat, and I respect how dedicated she is to her job, is she a good choice? Nothing horrible happens to her after you marry her, right? :ohdear:

to be fair, i think it's a pretty good reference in that it's not 100% a direct lift but they put in a lot of little and obvious homages that show that they enjoy it enough to dedicate like 7 townsfolk to it

Alright Where do you find springs? The book says the ruins but I’ve dug for 3 days and found everything but springs.

you can occasionally find them digging in the 2nd abandoned ruin, but you'll get a lot more fighting in the first Hazardous Ruin.

I don't think she actually dies. There's a mission where she gets seriously ill and you need to gather cactus fruit to cure her but I don't think she dies if you take too long. The rumor started because the mayor had some lines in the game files mentioning it but it's not in the actual game play. .

Thanks for letting me know! Still think I'm going to stick with Phyllis now though.

Some partners are straight up better than others, someone mentioned that there are radially different rewards for building relationships and it's the same for marriages. Some partners will help out around the farm (useful!) and some will make it so that civil commissions take less time to complete (less useful!) so if you're into Power Gaming it's worth it to take a look.

Fwiw the nurse lady's bonus is 40% off acupuncture so balance that on how much you care about big honkers.

They weren't able to finish all the voices in the game but their jiggle physics were on point, evidently. Whenever you switch camera poses Phyllis does a little juggle in a particular region which is so weird.

Interestingly, in an earlier alpha of the game Nora had a variant of Phyllis' outfit, down to the boob window dress. They decided a sexy nurse would be more appropriate than a sexy nun (though Nora still wears the sexy nun costume during the marriage cutscene when she's playing the organ).

I think Ginger is just faking illness for attention. Either that or she's a vampire. And Aadit is definitely some kind of John Wick type dude which explains his events.

When people first mentioned Russo is this badass I got him mixed up with Isaac and was disappointed there wasn't a boss fight at the end of the martial arts tournament where Isaac this Pai Mei martial arts badass.

Yeah, I bet very poorly the first year Russo was in the MA tourney. I assumed Paulie would wipe the floor with him, didn’t watch, then assumed that of course Arlo would take him out, and watched as Russo turned out to be Level 50 and thrash the poo poo out of him.

Also, the dating options are way better if you go after women. The guys in the game are either underwritten or uninteresting.

I enjoy fishing in this game, was able to unlock the final fishing rod about 2 weeks after the museum opened. I think I'm at a part of the game now where I need to go relic hunting in digs and ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I really wish they could just see what I had in my chests instead of me needing to have them in my inventory.

Who wouldn't want to be the fishmonger's wife though?

People have warned against marrying Sophie because it means you have to hear her irritating upspeak all the time.

Lee going on about the Dancing Robot is funny because of the dismissive tone he takes at the end. :smug: "Yeah it shot rays of its eyes and hurt a bunch of people. It's a sad story. Bunch of sinners, hope they're burning in hell. Anyway, if you find any irreplaceable technology be sure to give it to me so I can destroy it and give you a box of dirt in exchange. "

One of the rewards you get is the same combiner machine they have in the research center. It does take 3 hours vs research center finishing instantly, but it automatically grabs from all your boxes inventory so it's much easier.

I mean, I'm only mid-way through Fall but I've yet to have any money troubles.

Especially with the big boosts from the monthly rankings.

So? I'm in no rush to get them. I haven't even outgrown the 15k purchase.

There are also a gently caress ton of main story quests that give 10k gold.

If you're trying to speed rush everything in this game, then yeah, I can see running out of money. Taking it chill hasn't lead me into any problems yet.

No the other one. Honestly he sounds more like Johnny Bravo to me than a stereotypical black guy. Arlo is the one with the stuffy British accent. Sam has an actual normal sounding voice but her face being stuck in that smug DreamWorks facial expression annoys me.

Do we ever find out the deal with Mysterious Man? Who is he really?
