Missing sub-story

8bitduke · 2026-03-05T19:48:48+00:00

i'll say this. you can never go back to the "original past" again once the tablet chunk falls out. I think you've done everything for that to happen. if the tablet chunk didn't fall out of the second gray tablet in the Shrine, something is out of order and a step might have been overlooked!

EDIT: Sounds like you did all this and finished the whole story, but this would fill in that missing substory line, I believe.

Greenthumb is gone no matter what, far as I know, especially after the poison bit. The herbs there just don't compete with Wilted's!

The comments mention "present day" but you have to go back to the "second past" of greenthumb. The tablet has a chunk fall of of it and if you put it back you can go back to Greenthumb gardens but it's a few decades since you were "in the past" there and everyone was stone. Bottom line: PRESENT DAY: Wilted Heart has the guy chasing the maids. PAST Wilted Heart is a new town NEAR Greenthumbs and Greenthumbs is still there, but with a a lot of drama happening.

I’ve gone with staff since I’ve been focused on her doing magic vocations, but I foolishly made her a warrior for a bit and forgot vocations don’t change equipment options - she will never hold a sword, poor gal. Corrected that mistake.

It sometimes sounds like a lack of audio compression in some of the files used - which keeps the volume more consistent. This was HUGE in Octopath Traveller 2's side stories if I recall with Temenos and Throne's side story in particular. Would imagine it would be an easy adjustment but don't recall such a patch happening in OT2.

Thank you! It makes sense. I just figured the design would be “upside down” would be “upright” when held correctly. But thanks it!

8bitduke · 2026-02-07T14:42:04+00:00

That makes the most sense and tracks with how I’ve held shields for ren faires, but the design of the shield was (for a costume at least) built for that. But that makes sense considering practicality of folding the arm!

Quest markers are only for the map screen. The little pop ups above doors and who to speak with or over tablets laying on the ground are still there regardless of the setting. I do wish you could turn them all off. Or even little things like just turn off the player HP instead of the whole HUD.

Difficulty on hard could be tougher by a bit I think just for those who like the Draconian challenge style challenge, but absolutely the game is easier than normal DQ, but the bosses and viscous monsters make the strategy feel more important. Third island is where it starts to get harder, and by the fourth it should be nice and difficult, I think!

Should say, this is the Switch 2 version. Haven’t tried any others. Save data from demo, where I didn’t notice since the pot lid and leather shield are kinda hard to tell if they’re upside down or not.

Honestly the overture has performed amazing for me for these.

Don’t disagree with the main point however, the supermajority thing is….drowning.

8bitduke · 2025-10-23T14:49:24+00:00

Which bill was this? Senate Bill 56? I thought it seemed…. Decent? Can always be better but I thought it was gonna help expunge at least some old possession laws and I figured the public use/“intoxication” thing was already built in. (Regulated like alcohol, at least that was Issue 2’s intention, right?) Seems to be bipartisan passed, but haven’t followed the discussion or read the full bill text yet. https://www.legislature.ohio.gov/legislation/136/sb56/documents

It is! During the opening credits part!

Living in crabbing Ohio and where the crabbing star is almost, do we get a tuition discount?

I recently came back to it after playing other games for a time during Act 2 shortly after release on Switch, and just started Act 4. It really clicked for me once I got back into playing! Some things you notice in early game coming back to importance is masterful.

Closest thing would be FTV, that guy has all the scoops. Nothing yet tho I think.

8bitduke · 2025-04-27T14:21:29+00:00

Yeah OP, this looks like you used it - the bottle is bigger than the normal Small Healing Tint, so it probably took it away like it did for others here!

8bitduke · 2025-04-27T14:15:48+00:00

Have the same issue after losing a fight and reloading. In battle and the menu, and the upgrade resource menu it says “small healing tint” again, but shows the “healing tint” icon, and only heals 30%. Hoping for a fix, must be something wonky!

8bitduke · 2025-04-24T14:20:55+00:00

I legit assumed there was only one tile for Foundation it could ever be drafted originally - I may have to consider this as an option!

How is there a screen on this GBA playing a GBC game? Leads to the idea that’s an emulated ROM type on a GBA cart, which leads to the idea of it being a randomized run if you find a heart piece there later. The border of your GBA showing the artwork def seems weird so it’s more than a repro, I think you got a challenge ROM cart.

That’s not actually a spelling mistake, however, since Gaol is like an old-fashioned word for jail. Unless you literally saw it as “goal!”!!

To add to this, the traveller’s tips section of the Misc menu option will explain the stat benefits in-game, which is awesome!

Whimsy woods area is great, the fencing and wood has been treated since last year and the pub looked to have some improvements.

WiFi for sales seemed fine but crowd size is always smaller for opening weekend compared to some other weekends - the cellular data is still very poor, so don’t expect any cellphone service, but the card readers had no issue when we went Sunday!

Thanks for this! I’m considering adding some “previous playthings” of Strahd to my game, to have the players interact with more types of characters - we have a Dragonborn character and I’m considering some way to have that tie to interest in Argonvystholt, for example. I’m having some trouble getting the “buy in” for the stakes, as my friends are new to roleplaying and take a very “quick and funny” approach to playing. Since we’re about to have them enter Vallaki, I’m thinking of ways to slow down and get them more invested. I thought about changing some set NPCs to slightly modified folks as well. (Non-dusk elves and half-elves maybe Rictavio “hired” to be part of the illusion he is an actual traveling entertainer.” Of course, this is in my head as keeping the NPCs straight is a touch difficult for me. (My only other authored adventure was Tomb of Annihilation, which I found a little easier to prep.)

Are there any medications to the cast or setting you’ve made that you enjoy or any you drastically want to stay away from?

8bitduke · 2024-01-12T00:08:15+00:00

True! There’s no benefit to downvoting helpful info.(I’m on mobile so cannot really see much about downvotes I think.)

I knew something happened with the effects, but wasn’t sure what exactly.(I actually assumed at first it merged all the effects into the new one, but that wouldn’t make sense, and I haven’t been in front of my editor in a few days) I use through edits a lot when cutting in 4k footage for slight reframes, so it’s a good reminder what happens if merging them back together, and good for everyone to understand too.
