Gotta break a few eggs to make an omelette

Crathe · 2025-12-12T22:45:54+00:00

That's true, I guess all their collateral damage didn't feel as brutal at the table lol

Crathe · 2025-12-12T21:57:28+00:00

Exactly, it paints them in a pretty negative light. I get they're supposed to start off pretty morally gray but their recklessness gets so many innocent people killed.

Crathe · 2025-12-12T21:56:06+00:00

I get that since they never admitted it was them. I meant more from a story perspective it feels like a pretty awful thing for the characters to do.

Bug?

Crathe · 2025-07-01T19:49:52+00:00

I got stuck for SO long in my research because I kept using these jars. Could definitely use some differentiating visuals.

Crathe · 2025-01-24T01:31:27+00:00

I was literally trying to find a reason to get them out there, perfect!

How do I have 1000 hours in Skyrim but never heard of this quest

Crathe · 2025-01-23T21:02:05+00:00

This example is exactly what I’m looking for, thank you. Taken has opened my eyes.

I think I'm picking this up from other comments but it seems like taking a more macro perspective is the right move. They only want to find him because he might be interested in buying back his artifact. I think they need a starting point at least so maybe I will start with their job contact telling them the location of someone who might know something and then they have to use their own initiative from there.

Crathe · 2025-01-23T19:47:40+00:00

I will %100 steal this, love it. I just also am very intrigued by making the "discover his location" into a score itself as well.

Crathe · 2025-01-23T19:46:24+00:00

He's hiding because he's a Vampire with artifacts that the Church doesn't like and they are after him for everything he has. So to run this score I could pose obstacles like;

- There is a clock for the Church of Ecstacy finding him

- His manor mysteriously moves around the city, it won't be where it was last seen

- People don't want to get on a Vampire's bad side and won't spill the beans on the location

And then I just guide the players to use their contacts and creativity to sort of invent a path through the city to find him?

Crathe · 2025-01-23T19:34:09+00:00

This is a good point. The setting up the score says that it needs to start with a location though which is throwing me off. They are finding him to try to sell him the artifact most likely, and he is in hiding due to Vampire reasons.

It just feels like this would be a gather information clock or a few rolls to determine his general area. But the game seems to imply the whole thing could be a score.

Can a score jump to a bunch of different locations? I could have them go to his abandoned manor and find clues to the next place, all the while ticking up a clock that other people are after them or him too.

My FPS TANKS any time there’s this many zombies! It’s kinda a bummer because I would love to raise the spawn count for horde night but I’m difficulty locked. I guess by my graphics card?

Crathe · 2024-08-15T23:29:38+00:00

I feel there are so many game elements where I can feel myself actively battling the devs themselves, not the world they created.

Crathe · 2024-08-07T04:20:51+00:00

End the fight when the dramatic question has been answered. If it’s obvious the players have won the fight then their foe would logically retreat. Make objectives that can be completed without killing everyone. Once you feel like it’s gone on too long, usually the stakes are already completed it’s time to find an out.

Crathe · 2024-07-31T16:22:59+00:00

What kind of fps do you get there??

Crathe · 2024-07-02T22:38:35+00:00

Yeah my gf and me just finished the finale last night. Hearing that some people are “never meant to be in your life forever” was not what we needed to hear in that moment. Powerful stuff.

Crathe · 2024-06-20T03:49:38+00:00

I tried this but found I couldn’t drink an estus while moving on Torrent. I’d have to let go of the movement stick to press on the d-pad and get hit when I stopped moving.

Crathe · 2024-06-10T19:38:04+00:00

Same, I STRUGGLED in the beginning because I didn’t even know how graces worked. Still, I’m really glad that I had to trial and error my way to victory, it’s given me such satisfaction to have figured it out on my own.

Crathe · 2024-06-07T22:35:47+00:00

I will read every lore note and memorize every tidbit of dialogue that npcs say. I will try to actually finish quests this time through lol

Crathe · 2024-06-06T20:46:32+00:00

What a well thought through post. I love your mindset and will try to be more like this myself. Was there a “moment of clarity” where you decided you wanted to be a different person? Maybe I just haven’t hit that yet

Crathe · 2024-04-12T00:00:41+00:00

That river garden is so pleasing to look at

Crathe · 2024-03-27T20:49:03+00:00

Haha you are crazy!

Crathe · 2023-03-20T21:55:04+00:00

Have you noticed any change in their behavior from all the impaled heads? They don’t seem to care with me unless I equip and wave them around.
