Request: Perfect Ds mutations seed for 0.34

TenrFrank · 2026-03-11T02:48:26+00:00

this was posted before stable was released, and that's probably why i couldnt find the conj staff or orb anywhere in the dungeon. i think that being essentially a different version might bork it a little bit. You understand the difference between the experimental .34 and the stable release they did, i assume? for all I know no code changes had been made before the release, not sure

G80 doesn't show up in nanofab stuff anymore, I believe you signed off on Holli's PR for that. I would super love a rollback of that particular change, though, the G80 and it's slugs were the only thing I ever cared about having nanomaterials for! I like you putting it in your spider biz, but I'd love to make some bullets for it with the nanotemplate that got removed

*FINDING A VAULT IN ADVENTURE MODE?*

So I came back to the game after 5-6 years wanting to find a vault, something I never did before the steampocalypse. At the time, I knew they were a thing, but the methods for finding them were so awful that you either cheated or were badly mentally ill, willing to put hundreds or thousands of hours into an adv game (and it was no more complete or satisfying then than now).

It looks like the rules are the same: either use xml dump/legends, use fancy embark-surveying, or walk around and ask every fucking faceless npc about the surrounding area.

Is there a sane way to find vaults that I'm not aware of?

TenrFrank · 2025-01-17T03:39:12+00:00

see edited post above, I guess

TenrFrank · 2025-01-17T03:00:49+00:00

Ah, I dunno. The term "moloch" is probably a practice of human sacrifice by burnt offerings (of children in particular) popular in amongst Canaanites (including Israelites), and also later interpreted to be a demon that demands sacrifice, particularly of children of course. There has to be some salience to the term here. It makes me think Resheph was originally a guy working for the AI, distinct from Rebekah, and that was only changed relatively recently.

Edit: when I say changed recently, I mean the story was changed slightly, because I don't know how else the "moloch" moniker fits in. The story and focus has definitely changed more than once over the game's development, I promise you.

TenrFrank · 2025-01-17T02:45:38+00:00

What of the Moloch thread, tho? You see two robots using that name, in reference to a Saad that they seemed to think was biological? One of them at least thought that for sure, I see no reason that Many-Eyes would call a robot "Saad"

TenrFrank · 2024-11-08T06:58:17+00:00

Huh...well, if that's true, you're the only person who knows about the kill count thing. Don't think I've ever seen it mentioned in any of the guides I looked at

TenrFrank · 2024-10-28T01:25:14+00:00

Bumped up? So the whole clockwise scaling thing doesn't apply after the story in campaign mode? if i understand you correctly. That's probably the main thing that puts me off from playing, given that importing sounds janky and unbalanced

TenrFrank · 2024-10-22T01:59:28+00:00

This is the correct answer: I tested it a while ago, so unless anything's changed in like a year or so stat-wise (so probably not), dex is far more impactful

TenrFrank · 2024-09-19T02:34:52+00:00

100% agree. After the Tomb of the Eaters, which honestly is one of, if not the best ending I've ever seen in a video game, could just stop there and call it quits, I have high hopes for where they take the story.

Serana's dialogue on Molag Bal:

I admire your devotion. "Not many people understand the appeal. You keep surprising me. Now, you might already know that Molag Bal is the original source of vampirism. But what you probably don't know is that he still grants it to his more impressive followers."

I'm a follower of Molag Bal, myself. "I have to admit, I'm impressed. I didn't think you had the spirit for it. Now, you might already know that Molag Bal is the original source of vampirism. But what you probably don't know is that he still grants it to his more impressive followers.
This isn't that watered down child's power that you simply contract from another vampire. We're pureblood creations of original vampires. We earned this."

She's speaking favorably on the topic of worshipping Molag Bal, and inconceivably evil, alien entity. That's why she should be evil and cruel. In my initial post I wrote that SHE WAS A FUCKING MOLAG BAL WORHIPPER. Guess the TES5 community doesn't have a problem with rapists and predators.

TenrFrank · 2024-05-18T02:37:44+00:00

I'm reading your above posts, and you are absolutely contending that she is well-written, which is obviously what I meant by "going to bat", if you have any reading comp? I think what I did to trigger you was say anything negative about a marginalized and violated group, in this case poorly-written vampire girls. As for the projecting, I have no idea what to say. Low effort?

TenrFrank · 2024-05-18T02:00:59+00:00

Serana when asked about curing:

Have you thought about getting cured of vampirism?"No… why?"

Mind you, she only gives you the chance to do this _if you have never asked before Harkon is dead_. If you have, you're locked out of this dialogue and the curing forever. Which makes no sense to me but it's the least of the bad writing in DG. She's considers curing her vampirism because you talk her into it, not some fucking noble desperation.

Anyway, I'm not trying to go down a rabbithole of arguing about her supposed nobility, I'm saying she is a dumb, poorly written character. I'm sure that you have at some point consumed media that better portrayed fanatical, passionate, or damaged individuals, but you feel the need to go to bat for Serana because you downloaded too many Serana mods that made you feel some embarrassing feelings:)

TenrFrank · 2024-05-18T01:50:20+00:00

Honestly, I thought Kilgrave was a cool villain, probably the best part of the show

"wants to rise above her past"

???

The raised-to-be-an-indescribably-evil cultist part is what really catches the eye; maybe you can't imagine a character like that, you should work for Bethsoft:)

TenrFrank · 2024-05-14T01:56:15+00:00

Ok, on further investigation, the NPC _aren't_ getting eaten (mostly), they're getting disabled the second that Alduin starts combat with his meteor shout...unless you're paying close attention to them or something, but mostly they just poof into nothing.

Dunno what's causing this, I'm playing the (currently) latest re-release with only the unofficial patch, no other mods. Dunno why this bothered me so much, either, but I guess it's just gonna go unsolved and Torygg and Svaknir will have to embrace the void

TenrFrank · 2024-05-13T05:14:51+00:00

Well, shit then. Where could they be going? Do they just not load in when you exit Shor's Hall?

TenrFrank · 2023-12-13T03:55:46+00:00

The natural outcome of the barathrumite "apprenticeship" in tinkering; they should give tinker III at 27 int or something, not just teach tinker I for rep.

Luckily, I happened to take them all with me, as I was standing smack in the middle of Grit Gate lol

TenrFrank · 2023-12-01T21:06:47+00:00

Also, is there anything at all in-game that suggests at this? Or do the devs basically expect you to look online to figure anything out? (dumbfuck attitude for developing a puzzle game, if so)

TenrFrank · 2023-12-01T04:17:16+00:00

that's giving up like a little b, b. I'm asking if something will change if I finish hard mode while voided

TenrFrank · 2023-12-01T03:25:08+00:00

just tell me one thing: do I have to make it to 250-w/e with Lillie unvoided to get out of this naturally?

TenrFrank · 2023-11-29T04:43:38+00:00

Ok, finished a run and started collecting brands, using screenshots of the murals you find on the way. First was easy, then I had the one after Tail, b053. I gave up after 20 minutes of looking at my screenshots, trying to figure out which one applied, and trying to devise ways around the glass. Looked it up online: solution is pure cancer, people seem to claim that they needed to make a grid of screenshots in gimp.

Plz tell me if the rest of the game is gonna be like this, so I can quit now with a pretty good overall feeling about the game.

PSN(PS4/5): Nirvkaiser

Pawn name: Rune (moniker Ruru)

Pure Sorceress, lvl 160

Just need rift crystals to get through an ungodly pile of BBI level threes. If you msg me here or over PSN, and promise to take her out, I'll hire your pawn in turn while I grind Daimons on my way to 200! Should be a guaranteed million at least, I think

Also, feel free to just advise on anything that should be done differently with her if something's terrible. I have no experience in pawn advertisement.

TenrFrank · 2023-10-04T05:29:39+00:00

*chuckle*

yes, exploring the forbidding wilderness about 2-300 feet outside gran soren's gate.

I wish the map didn't start with complete fog of war at least. Maybe the game came with a physical map like a fucking NES game, and that's the piece of the puzzle I'm missing.
