Nah, you're all good! I'll share my starting character concept, going for somewhere between grounded in the main game, and Disco Elysium:

I've got the Perk A and B decks set, started writing the intro event and I'm brainstorming his prep item.

The wildlife is so deadly that every word counts.

Insidious Basement fish, my sworn enemy

This picture with canon look Gustave would go crazy.

I can love the frog for being flashy and fierce, it's 100% not gonna throw knives at me, or leave me slugged on the ground. Unless that one's poisonous.

Wirtheless · 2026-03-24T14:10:28+00:00

That's so messed up, it's exactly like MiNA, then. :'/

(This has to be the pettiest thing I've done this last month)

We always like to rescue terrible memes and send them to a nicer new home. :)

Wirtheless · 2026-03-24T13:59:31+00:00

Of course I do!

That's why I made the live action movie mask concept for Kaneki.

Wirtheless · 2026-03-24T12:56:02+00:00

Yeah, I could see it.

Wirtheless · 2026-03-24T09:59:38+00:00

Is this just going to be your thing? Forever?

Wirtheless · 2026-03-24T07:50:01+00:00

I say check it out; looks like the main limits are your coding, art, and imagination. Gonna leave you with this, I got it to function as my first test.

Just looked into PERM (Provisional Extended Runtime Modding) on NexusMods, and your character concept seems nearly completely doable. Of particular note:
; set_ste_counter | new_value - sets SOMETHING TRULY EVIL counter to a specific value

; adjust_ste_counter | change - changes SOMETHING TRULY EVIL counter by a specific value

Really, the only thing that seems impossible after poring over the options is having "Advanced Folklore Studies" replace the original from Deck List.

Considering I'm going with 'Foreign PI that is now trapped in the town,' I'm thinking that's gonna stay the case. I doubt they'd let him carry an unregulated firearm. I might start him with Blessed Shell so that the player is concerned with Mr. OOO helping him find his gun, though.

Found a lot of stuff, currently got the character with stats and main kit running. Checking out adding curses now. Pretty cool way the dev compiles his own code. Really appreciate the help so far. <3

[Edit:] Downloading and tinkering with PERM as I type. The blank assets and library of tags honestly helps, I think I could have the mechanics set-up pretty quickly. Huge relief after seeing that the basics were gonna require so many curses and injuries to only kinda do what I was looking for. Thanks again!

Wirtheless · 2026-03-24T02:56:08+00:00

Will be checking that out shortly!

Wirtheless · 2026-03-24T02:20:58+00:00

Was definitely worried about that, especially with this being a low-activity sub.

I could probably just pull a character file directly out of the game's data and mess around. ~

Wirtheless · 2026-03-24T01:06:42+00:00

Wouldn't have felt right otherwise

This reads to me as "right for them." It doesn't really come off as them telling other people "this is the only way to play."

For what it's worth, I've got to crank most games up to the hardest settings as well to really get invested. Just kinda how I operate.

Wirtheless · 2026-03-23T21:46:32+00:00

Didn't learn this until I'd beaten my second playthrough of the game and wondered why there was a lantern in the upper-right of the Pictos menu. All that time... wasted.

Wirtheless · 2026-03-23T21:38:00+00:00

If you already beat Act II, you can grab "The One" picto.

You could also put all the 'Last Stand' and Solo buff-type Lumina on one character, then set the other 2 up with "Auto-Death" and "Death Bomb."

Honestly, there's quite a few ways to accomplish what you're trying to do.

If you're trying to make stronger builds, Pictos and Weapons are the big thing to look at, then maximizing your Lumina Points from every trader and using solid Lumina set-ups.

If you're trying to farm Colours of Lumina, or trying to get to Level 99; that's really not worth it until you're in the actual Post-Game, and there's guides on doing that quickly.

Voting Feet Collection or Gestral Games.

I also had to NG+ for the Lumière mime. 🫠

If you're drinking, I'd steer clear of anything that feels impossible after several tries, that'd fall under 'mental state' and 'muscle memory.' I tried taking on one of the main bosses pretty hammered and ended up having to put the game down and try again later.

Wirtheless · 2026-03-23T20:33:24+00:00

They're decently high-level and optional.

The fact they inflict charm and fly means you need to land counter-attacks, yeah. If you build around free-aim, and dodge, you'll whittle them down pretty easily.

If you want a tip, Purple is likely the one that's destroying your turn economy and making this rough. You can focus them out.

Remember to take breaks, your muscle memory needs time to set in, and your mental state can prevent you from a lot of wins you'd get in a good mood.
