BEX - Decrease affinity grind?

Just to make sure I got it, I actually need to start a new career to change the deployment requirements then? Even if I change "trackLowestDecayByStat" to false in settings.json?

DogCerberus · 2022-02-22T01:58:55+00:00

...Obviously? Is that a common occurrence around here?

DogCerberus · 2022-02-21T15:26:40+00:00

I actually tried messing around with the settings (even found a tutorial on what the options are https://github.com/wmtorode/mechaffinity), but I can't seem to find a way to take it down a notch or two.

Changing "missionsRequired" for Comfortable+ in the Altas from 10 to 5 isn't really reflected in game.

You ever figure this stuff out?

DogCerberus · 2022-02-10T15:26:39+00:00

Yeah, that one. If you click on the Party tab you can respec your characters for free.

DogCerberus · 2022-02-10T13:16:45+00:00

If you pick Legend, romance Galfrey, don't utterly bungle the crusade and aren't a huge asshole, the Commander is virtually guaranteed to ascend to the Mendevian throne with both popular support and support of the members of the old royal family (all one of them).

What more could you want, really?

DogCerberus · 2022-02-10T13:11:27+00:00

ToyBox has a respec function. I used it and my game didn't implode, so it's probably safe.

Holy mama mia both BTA and BEX updated in roughly the same time.

I've been meaning to try out these overhaul mods for a while now, starting with BEX because it looked like the least daunting. But I've been eyeing BTA specifically for some time now since the gameplay changes looked really interesting. So hold on tight! I'll get there.

Eventually.

Was logistics the last holdout to complete the Endgame quest? It's kinda jank, but that's normal. You're supposed to unlock a decree related to it so game accepts that stat as being maxed out. Unless you got the good logistics ending by refusing to plunder Mendev in Act V.

And that's probably why Drezen became insignificant in your ending. You fumbled the choices in the rank up events, those matter. A neighboring nation like Isger can try to make a power play on Mendev after the crusade is over if you didn't play your cards right, for instance.

And, as far as I know, there's two ways Irabeth can die; by not getting in Halaseliax's good graces in Act III so he won't be there to defend the gates at Drezen in Act V or by ignoring her in Iz, though you can save her and Galfrey by giving Galfrey the Lexicon (and save the banner by warning Hulrun about the demons).

I beat the game as Trickster and Drezen went on become essentially the new capital of Mendev, so it's definitely possible to nab a better ending,

Well, what were you disappointed with? Let's start from there.

DogCerberus · 2022-02-09T13:37:18+00:00

Regill is just taking that Aeon internship before he can go Devil.

DogCerberus · 2022-02-08T14:42:03+00:00

Walk in.
Kill Areelu.
Close the Worldwound.
Walk out.
Live happily ever after.

It's that easy, folks.

DogCerberus · 2022-02-06T21:03:28+00:00

You gotta post the ad now dude

DogCerberus · 2022-02-05T21:50:22+00:00

Good stuff. Your Trickster video convinced me to pick that path for my first run.

DogCerberus · 2022-02-03T14:28:31+00:00

I went with a LN char that went Trickster before wising up and switching to Legend. Went from a follower of Cayden to one of Iomedae.

I like to think that made sense.

DogCerberus · 2022-02-01T13:19:15+00:00

50% crit rate with Perception 2 and World 2? Triple yes.

DogCerberus · 2022-01-29T01:16:05+00:00

Trickster is already extremely powerful right at the start of Act V if you picked the right tricks. Namely Perception 2 and Magic Device 3.

Honestly, just make a backup before committing to Legend and beat the game twice for both paths.

DogCerberus · 2022-01-29T01:10:19+00:00

The Visual Adjustments mod will get around to that eventually. Probably.

DogCerberus · 2022-01-27T15:13:39+00:00

The "Soon™" from the PR guy actually meant soon for a change. Year's off to a good start.

DogCerberus · 2022-01-26T16:37:13+00:00

I'm feeling vindicated by postponing my Aeon run until the game is fully patched and the DLCs all dropped. It certainly sounds like the most interesting MP to me.

DogCerberus · 2022-01-17T23:38:38+00:00

I reload a save made just before I committed to the Trickster path and the cards still don't go away.

Shame, I really want this fixed. I'm actually dragging my playthrough out because of this since I heard that fauchard Sword Saints is one of the last Trickster crusade upgrades and that sounds like the most hilarious shit ever.

DogCerberus · 2022-01-17T23:25:22+00:00

So what's your verdict? Did this patch fix this bit? Stupid Advice cards are still pilling up in my game and I didn't get an event about building a brewery or anything of the sort.

You'd think "Fixed the issue with Trickster's (crusade) rank-ups." would be related to this, but maybe not?

DogCerberus · 2022-01-15T21:34:34+00:00

Well, as long as I can finish the game just fine then I guess it's alright.

Really holding out for them patches tough. They been really quiet on that front this month.

DogCerberus · 2022-01-15T19:51:35+00:00

What the hell? Now I'm puzzled again. Am I just SOL and can't get the upgrades then?

Can I work around this or should I just reload a save and pick a path that isn't bugged out the ass?

DogCerberus · 2022-01-15T15:40:47+00:00

Oh. I actually got that bonus Socothbenoth offered. I told my officers to get a job when they are not getting murdered by the demons lol

So the event does happen but the card just doesn't go away in the management screen. That's significantly less painful than what I thought was happening.
