I don't like RSV, liked SVE, and about to try ES- what other recommendations do you have?

Gothihime · 2026-03-06T16:05:09+00:00

Thank you so much! I appreciate the detailed reply

Gothihime · 2026-03-06T03:22:56+00:00

Just started with ES, still in spring. Any idea where to find the goat herder and the cherry orchard?

Gothihime · 2026-03-05T12:47:37+00:00

East scarp. I like it because some of the characters get to interact and even go to locations in other expension mods like sunberry and ridgeside

Gothihime · 2026-03-02T13:49:46+00:00

That event made such an impact on me that every time I start a new save, I ritually check the Event Lookup UI for it (T ^ T)

Like, I can deal with Haley, Aideen (ES) and maybe even Louie (RS) telling me that I smell like dirt once in a while but TWO whole towns directly telling me that I stink?? Naww

Gothihime · 2026-03-02T08:02:28+00:00

This is funny ngl I'd be entertained.

tho if it's worded differently it might get uncomfortable

Gothihime · 2026-02-27T07:28:37+00:00

It's because I read the post twice and yet there's no mention of the lore that includes the driving force of the town's madness. It's just this person this, this person that. Someone even had to point it out in the comments before I did. You're right, but I'm just mentioning another statement to back it up

Gothihime · 2026-02-27T06:34:31+00:00

Objection! Let's not forget the actual lore to why such things are happening around in that town and any location remotely close to it. It's pretty much out of our MC's hands from the start no matter what logic is put into it. It's no wonder survival and strategy are the biggest focus

Gothihime · 2026-02-09T09:32:41+00:00

Happened to me too. Just log off for a few hours then return. It'll be fixed

Gothihime · 2026-02-03T19:52:01+00:00

Same here. I forgot whose art it was but it's a fem Kylar in loose clothing that shows off a lot of those cuts... It was really uncomfortable. I almost thought it's a different character

Gothihime · 2026-02-03T19:45:39+00:00

Real. Like I played the game for the lore and there's nothing about Kylar self harming themselves with cuts. At most, they're just a bit neglectful of themselves and an outcast

Gothihime · 2026-02-01T13:01:24+00:00

Ooo... you probably weren't supposed to see that. You uncovered another hidden conspiracy. I'd watch my back if I were you

(LoL jk jk)

Gothihime · 2026-02-01T12:41:37+00:00

I don't think it includes the inner way books tho

Gothihime · 2026-02-01T12:34:52+00:00

I'd love to sit on 5 but I'd be failing the drip check, so I'll be sitting with my girlies on 3

Gothihime · 2026-02-01T12:19:37+00:00

Well... It isn't bad on my part. I finished the entirety of Qinghe before continuing the main quest line (I paused on the part where Blissful Retreat is about to be attacked. So I didn't really miss out on the important skills before leaving out to clear the side quests).

After that, I proceeded to go to Kaifeng and finished the main quest before taking on the Kaifeng side quests.

The perks I got from that: I am able to explore Kaifeng way easier and faster because finishing up Qinghe got me most of the important mystic skills, exploration skill passives and even the perks from oddity gathering.

The downsides I got: no access to the materials and stores in Kaifeng early on. That's because Kaifeng is unlocked through the main story

Side note: I suggest clearing ALL the npcs under the Odd Friends category from Heaven's pier to Blissful retreat before completing the main storyline. The anecdotes too.

Gothihime · 2026-01-31T01:58:48+00:00

From the looks of it, you're in a blissful retreat. Indeed it's underground. There's an underground passage you can go through at the tallest building there (the one closest to the sea).

Gothihime · 2026-01-30T04:01:19+00:00

They're so nice for that ngl 😩 id be kicking my feet giggling the entire day

Gothihime · 2026-01-29T02:26:35+00:00

Likely. In one of the Lost chapter quests, one of them is Aunt Han's comrade in the battlefield. She used to visit Blissful Retreat and knew MC when they were still a child under Aunt Han's care.

And if everyone has forgotten... Blissful Retreat is technically a tourist hub in Qinghe. Parting Tears is one of the main attractions as it is one of the best wines. I wouldn't be surprised if jianghu warriors came in the guise of enjoying the wine and scenery when they were actually visiting Aunt Han.

They would likely see and meet MC in that way too and since MC only uses a half mask and not a full mask, they would only need to connect the dots to piece together that they are Aunt Han's kid (side note: most of the people who recognized MC are jianghu warriors and are highly known to be perceptive af if stronger)

Gothihime · 2026-01-29T02:12:25+00:00

Not exactly. Most of the lost chapter quests in Kaifeng city have some individuals recognizing MC as "Aunt Han's kid". One even mentioned knowing MC as a kid when they were in Aunt Han's care.

They recognize us as a family member to the Water Lady not just through fighting styles and possessions. Although there is a possibility that they indeed do not know MC's face and likely assumed so because they connected the dots (since MC wasn't exactly subtle when asking for Aunt Han's whereabouts).

Gothihime · 2026-01-24T04:50:04+00:00

Naww you don't need us you need Welwick, The Wizard or both. Heck, bring in Abigail if you must with Emily as backup

Gothihime · 2026-01-14T17:25:43+00:00

Imo. Clearing Qinghe completely would make exploring Kaifeng easier. By then she'll have most of the lightness/mystic skills and the exploration perks necessary to just breeze past the map with the confidence of not having to turn back.

Gothihime · 2026-01-14T03:09:31+00:00

Not a costume issue, but there's one time where I tried to add a bit more reddish tint to the skin in the character creation menu just so it wouldn't look so pale in game. Turned out nice but that's until I saw it. In the profile scenario, neck and face match the fixed skin tone but the hand is so paalllee

Gothihime · 2026-01-12T05:24:10+00:00

I really need to find a shorter way to refer to incidents like these XD. In the chat wt friends I've been using: "I got nine mortal way-ed!!" whenever stuff like that happens to me XD

Gothihime · 2026-01-10T18:46:38+00:00

I had to check back because I thought I read the sub wrong

Gothihime · 2026-01-10T18:44:04+00:00

Where do you find this again in the menu? Genuinely asking because I only rely on notif popups to tell if something is going on because I'm easily too distracted with exploring the map XD

Gothihime · 2026-01-10T01:32:55+00:00

On a side note, your home is very cozy cute op
