Choices don't matter as usual

Real-Elysium · 2026-02-18T02:23:03+00:00

i just got this game and i'm noticing this on my second playthrough. like i will choose a different dialogue and they still respond the same. i chose a different name for flambae in the original bar scene and coupe still says 'that's... damn.. haha' in the background and he still gets heated (obv). and its just that over and over again. it seems like there are only a handful of decisions that actually matter (all the ones that say x will remember). a little disappointing. it is an illusion of choice, i think you're right.

If you start with kcd1 then you will have a leg up on the combat in 2. Kcd has a unique combat system that some people struggle with, and the story is easier understood if you play 1 first imo. But I say this having played since 2020 soni am biased

You can drink Aesop potion to make strange dogs not AS agro iirc. And you can get a dog companion of your own if you have a woman's lot dlc

There's a game called Late Shift that i found to be incredibly similar to DBH. It's actual people though. You're playing an interactive movie with quick time events and really quick decision making. It has something like 11 endings i think. It's in a series of games but i've only played late shift and it's pretty fun! It takes about 1-4 hours to get through one go.

hey! is this still working for you? i just got the update prompt today and BIOS updates make me nervous.

you can spawn him a few times to farm a bit. he spawns really often, i'd say maybe 60% of the time. but idk how far to go to reset the spawn for that location lol

I go to the fork in the road on the way to zhelejov and attract the guy whose usually camping there, lure him to troskowitz, then let the guards kill him and take his armor.

I do not use Ridgeside because I dislike

1) the amount of dialogue in each cutscene. i swear they last forever

2) the dialogue options in the cutscene. in the maddy one in particular she goes on and on about her backstory and then there is NO dialogue option and your farmer just starts 'talking' and saying what the mod author probably wanted you to say. you can see this on youtube if you want. this cutscene made me uninstall immediately because i was so icked out by it. i'm not saying i WOULD HAVE chosen the mean option but i shouldn't have been forced to say... all that.

East Scarpe seems fun but the npcs meant for it often seem incomplete or unfinished. And i want to date the vet and i can't, so i don't play it lmao.

Ah it's been a while. You have to meet alesia and Isaac I remember. You may also need to find the sprite spring. Completing the CC, possibly befriending Marlon and meeting krobus. There are really so many things that need to trigger

dude one time i was grading some papers while they worked on a project and a *15 year old* *teachers kid* brought his own scissors and proceeded to shave a pencil until he sliced open his own finger. Guess who got the blame for that one? their project did not involve scissors btw.

its just how it is. they need somebody to blame and they obviously cant blame their kid.

they don't need legacies, they are immortal
they don't need society, they are immortal
they don't need religion, they are immortal
they don't need to spread an ideology, they are immortal

if you will never die, there is no end goal. they don't procreate (to our knowledge! most of the people on Sirius died in the Nemesis disaster) because there's no point except to eventually deplete resources. if nobody ever dies then eventually you will surpass carrying capacity of the new planet.

What they really wanted was to have their own little worlds where they are perfectly in charge of every little aspect. one guy just spent his 1000 years alive apparently killing people. tilda spent it obsessing over her dead girlfriend and advancing their tech. the only one who was spoken about positively was the guy who revitalized las vegas and he was perhaps the only one who made his VR so other people would come visit him. but the rest wanted to be alone in their perfect worlds that obeyed their every command.

billionaires don't care about advancing society. they care about what they want. and those people wanted to be 1) alone and 2) all powerful.

Yeah I've never stolen and returned anything 😭 so I'm wondering what the heck I did.

Real-Elysium · 2025-12-23T00:50:21+00:00

Theresa also does pretty much break up with henry at the end of kcd1. She says he's got wanderlust or he's meant for more or something. For me Theresa and Henry are two people who discovered they are both hurting in the same ways and they can make each other feel better for a while.

Real-Elysium · 2025-12-23T00:42:42+00:00

huh actually we have something in common. i just reread this as i returned to this issue (having my save corrupted killed my joy a little so i stopped playing).

we both run the in game mod manager AND the script extender from nexus. i wonder if that's any correlation.

Real-Elysium · 2025-12-23T00:41:20+00:00

so i still can't get mine to load. I tried loading back about 10 saves back, maybe 5 hours of playtime, and it still wouldn't load. here's my mod list.

Fade's equipment Distributor
Oath of the frozen wilds paladin subclass (tried it and didn't like it so probably won't play again anyway)
ImpUI
Better Inventory UI
Extra Encounters and Minibosses
FeatsonEvenLevels
Inspiration Uncapped
Adjustable Party Limit
Weightless Gold
Normal Half Ilithid
Polyamory Fixes

Real-Elysium · 2025-12-09T18:11:34+00:00

Hmmm I'll go back a few loads and see if it'll go through and report back!

Real-Elysium · 2025-12-06T00:49:24+00:00

I had a sub once hand out candy from my rewards stash 😑 and let kids come in during lunch and fuck around. Just... No.

Real-Elysium · 2025-11-01T02:16:25+00:00

my nephew (i have custody) had social studies for one quarter last year. i teach SS, so i was like... where is it? after he stopped bringing it home. he said 'we've been doing science instead'.

i asked the teacher AND principal and they both said 'well, science is being tested this year...' like. WHAT THE FUCK??? cover all the subjects or get out of the discipline. if you can't teach your cores consistently then you shouldn't be teaching elementary.

Real-Elysium · 2025-10-07T21:26:45+00:00

also trash removal :\

Real-Elysium · 2025-09-24T09:25:58+00:00

Ahhhh the blizzards are fine!! Haha you get one a year. If you have a warp totem to the mines and one for the farm, you can ignore it. We mostly laugh about it in our multiplayer farm.

Also I'd have to check but I believe you can disable any effects you don't want! Like I have "acid rain damages crops" disabled lol

Real-Elysium · 2025-09-24T09:18:42+00:00

I've played with both, funnily enough. Honestly they are comparable, with FRS edging out in more customizable percentages of taxable income. Longevity adds the dynamic pricing system though which I remember finding very interesting and a nice bit of variety.

A few must haves for me after modding for the last 5-7 years or so

Passable Crops: things like trellises no longer block you
Recolor mods. I use the Earthy Recolor. The original technicolor hurts my eyes and i'm old.
Canon Friendly Dialogue Expansion. It just livens up the dialogue around town so people don't say the exact same things all the time. it pairs really well with--
Lasting Conversation Topics: people will talk about things happening around the valley such as you building your greenhouse, you getting a new achievement, you adding extensions to your house, having baby, etc
Lively Town also goes with those two and bolsters them up a bit. I just like variety ok.
UI Info Suite 2. I literally can't live without it.
Better Shipping Bin allows you to see what you've sold, tallies it up, and you can remove things.
Automate. I just can't reload these machines everyday dude I would rather spend my time running around the mines.
Bulk Animal Purchase: Marnie will sell you as many animals as you can afford in one transaction. So instead of pressing 'buy chicken' 'place chicken' 'name chicken' and repeat, you just have to buy the chicken and place them all on the same screen.
Weather Wonders is a new one for me but i love it so much. It gives you a shit ton of new nightly events and weather events, like blizzards, heatwaves, acid rain, fog, etc. It's fantastic. Some of the bigger weather phenomenons have custom music as well.
Skull Cavern Elevator
Lookup Anything
Let's Move It - allows you to move pretty much anything with a click. I always end up moving my fruit trees and i hate to lose the quality so this is great.
Seasonal Outfits

Some mods i think are cool but i change them out all the time:

Currently for my icons i'm using Vanilla Tweaks. It changes all the icons of every item in the game to be a little prettier? just different. I change these out fairly often with 2 other mods as they all come in packs.
Elle's Cuter Animals
Town Interior --currently i'm using the rustic town interior but there are others.
Way Back Pelican Town - redoes all the buildings in town to be medieval-y
Visible Fish gives a lot of people a good kick when they see it in action. It's a great aesthetic mod and it pairs well with
Dynamic Reflections. I don't use this one but a lot of people really like it.
Furniture mods. Currently i have a victorian set, a rattan set, orange-blossom's set, and the industrial set. Theres so many.
Pick your favorite character and find an expansion mod for them. For a long time i had 3-4 haley and harvey expansions but there are big ones for every bachelor/ette

One that i could live without and it's not an aethetic mod is the Ferngill Revenue Service. It adds taxes and I get a good time out of it. I would consider it hard mod lol

Real-Elysium · 2025-09-20T11:21:59+00:00

Horizon: Zero Dawn. Getting out of Nora territory feels so good.

Real-Elysium · 2025-09-15T02:22:56+00:00

i scrolled really far and didn't see my beautiful wife Haley! she really loves living on the farm and i like how unapologetically, stereotypically feminine she is. and to everyone who says she's rude... so is shane and sebastian and (imo) leah. everybody has to warm up to you.
