SOTW 0.8.24.18 - Second Act Beta!

[fabulaparva]

+In the updated Riley's quest: is one still supposed to have access to the special potions after failing in a stunt? So it's only the 25% heal you'll lose? Because I have access to those potions.

Yes, I thought was harder to lose the 25% regen than a potion since the heal is BEFORE battle, so more powerful.

Oh, but the special potions are *before* the battle, too. For example, the speed potion usually gives Riley the first move so that he can gulp down those "normal" HP potions or cast ghost form before the archers attack. I'll be okay with this either way, just making sure. The quest is much more fun now. (*cough* and easier*cough*)

As for the second part, good to know, saves me from going all confused with a ton of saves!

[jack1974]

Yes with the speed potions is true, but once you finish them...
Even if is easier I think is better than before where you could just try the luck and if heroic opportunity failed=game over

[fabulaparva]

Sorry, if this has been reported before, but Strikethrough in the bloodied boar battle does nothing to the backrow fighter.

Spoiler:

[jack1974]

I think might be for a change I did a few versions ago, do you remember if before was working ?

[fabulaparva]

I'd like to say yes, it worked before, but after that incident with Rowinda's candy, I'm not so sure...

EDIT: Yeah, in 0.8.13 it works. Works also in 0.8.16, doesn't work in 0.8.18/19. I don't have v0.8.17, so I'm not sure if it'd work there or not

[jack1974]

Np then I know the problem, I changed that skill to avoid a crash during the slaves fight, will look into it.

[Taleweaver]

In a small tribe like Krimm's, semi-incestuous relationships are not uncommon.

Krimm herself says a couple of times that the tribe was/is large (in the same chat I saw "moreso" - typo or intended use of the "nonstandard spelling of more so" (wiktionary)?)

It's a large tribe, as far as tribes go. However, that doesn't necessarily mean it consists of thousands of people. It's more like something close to two hundred heads. There are also tribes numbering only seventy or even sixty, so the Stalking Sabertooth is large in comparison.

"Moreso" is intentional

Noticed this out of the corner of my eye in a couple of the fights the resistances start to go below the box. Actually seems like it may be getting lower as the battle progresses not sure. Remind me how to send you a save and I will.
Also

Spoiler:

when Jariel pulls Chalassa in Rowinda's body through the portal he refers to her as "Chalassa" but then is surprised when Rowinda in Chalassa calls it "my body" shouldn't he know the difference and call her Rowinda or just say "she's injured" if he is not supposed to know about the soul swap.

[jack1974]

Yes the resistances go down if the enemy name is too long or when is starggered because the text goes in the line below. I'm not sure how to fix this yet, will try some things
You're right, Jariel should say: "Quick, help me! Rowinda's injured!", corrected it now!

[fabulaparva]

End levels seem more balanced now (all areas found, quests completed, usw):
Althea, Krimm = 16
Shea, Vaelis, Riley, Chalassa, Jariel = 15
Rowinda = 14

Alas, poor Yorick, had to waste my two awesome one-time-use-only items on those flipping Blades of Moon....good thing Yeldin's still a pushover in NM

EDIT: Shea, Vaelis & Riley are really close to level 16 (14-85EXP). I chose the Lugal-family quest this time, and it sure seems like you'd get less exp from it as you'll run into fewer bosses than you do in the Galanna-quest. Would explain in part why less chars are level 16 now.
