SOTW 0.8.24.18 - Second Act Beta!

[jack1974]

That is actually the only boring one . The script was made for different system, sort of guard & thieves, but since I don't have real-time movement on map I had to adapt it this way. The others have dungeon exploration and are much longer.

are the family quests all like the drug delivery? this one was very boring & repetitive, deliver package, fight mercs, deliver package, fight mercs, package stole, fight thief, deliver package, fight mercs, ...

In my opinion, Kiduu-quest was tons of fun. Especially with the "do-not-die" requirement for the one character protecting the hostage.... while playing in NM-mode. I just don't think that the AI knew which one I had chosen for the job, because they didn't really target her anymore than usual.

I see, jackpot for me - the one in four chance with the first try...

Fixed your Chalassa's bug by the way. I wanted to upload 0.8.15 since had already a lot of bugs/changes (nerfed down a few skills, but not too much) but today internet had decided to break my balls at maximum power (the whole day is disconnecting... even phone at home actually. I wonder if I'm under an alien attack!). So I give up and go to bed
Also because Taleweaver made me notice a small mistake

Spoiler:

in the liberty challenge since is Rowinda in Chalassa's body, she should use Rowinda skills. So need to change that, but too tired right now.

[Taleweaver]

The Galanna quest is also tons of fun since it's pretty much a dungeon labyrinth crawl with a ridiculous twist in the end, and Riva really made the best of what I gave him to work with. The Lugal quest should also be cool because...

Spoiler:

...it pretty much mirrors the Kiduu quest.

[Taleweaver]

the former behaviour you described is even worse, but the current variant needs some explanation in-game - not everyone reads the forum

but another thing: I think the writer missed a nice place for making fun in Riley's flashback. I totally expected the coal transformed in diamonds - but no, the boring old gold thingy... Why did you have to exhume the well-known Philosopher's Stone and didn't include something new like the Thinker's Compactor, able to convert coal in diamonds?

Meh. I guess I could have come up with something original here, but I had put so many original ideas into Dingirra already... gimme a break! ^_^

[yayswords]

Crossed my mind: We have a quest counter, a location counter and a fame counter. While the first two do indeed show how much you have of the maximum available for the act, the last one shows how much you have of a hard cap you can't reach. The fame should just say your fame, not /100, because it might make people think they've missed something if they finish an act with <100 fame.

[jack1974]

Hmm yes I could change this indeed. In this case would represent the max reachable value, but since the other two max values can be reached, I think makes sense. Will do it before uploading next build

[jack1974]

Put the build up with several changes. Was unable to

Spoiler:

do the Rowinda in Chalassa's body for now. The problem is that during party drag/drop the rowinda face would appear I will think if I can find a way around this, like copying Rowinda's skilltree temporarily on Chalassa, or something else. It's just ONE SINGLE BATTLE anyway, so I don't think is a big deal

Why do the drag/drop part at all? Just put Rowinda into the party, the way Chalassa joined the party when the Four Elements betrayed her. No need for the player to give her a position.
