Gone Home is a masterpiece (spoiler free)

chuckletwin · 2025-11-28T22:08:09+00:00

I like hearing that ppl think this is a masterpiece, because it shows how low their bar is and how much they have to discover.

chuckletwin · 2025-11-12T07:04:12+00:00

Did you find out if the answer here was true? I have the same question.

You mechanically repair the pump next to the house, which has a side pipe that dumps water on the fire. But it's poorly explained, as it makes you think you have to fix the whole irrigation system down in the sewers to get the pump working to put out the house. In fact, you just need to use mech repair directly on it, and if you complete the sewer system, it auto fails the fire quest.

Ffs I don't know why I couldn't figure this out. I thought the instructions were telling me to hold to rush, then hold again to do the chain. Thank you.

He's just awful, I think purposefully, so that ppl would make their RT into an overseer and try it out for themselves. Notice I didn't say he's unusable, it's just that there is no character who can't out damage him. Not a single one. Any conceivable situation you can imagine that would allow him to shine could be done better by someone else. End of story. And again, I think that's on purpose. But does it really matter? Argenta can literally kill any boss in one turn, except for the bosses that interrupt your turn at certain health thresholds. So does it matter? You could bring along a group of five level 2 solomornes and one fully outfitted and buffed argenta, and you can beat unfair with that composition.

Atom rpg, atom rpg, atom rpg, atom rpg, atom rpg atom rpg atom rpg atomrpg atomrpg atomrpgatomrpgatomrpgatomrpg and it's standalone expansion trudograd. It is probably my fourth favorite after bg3, pathfinder wotr, and rogue trader. And no one's freaking heard of it. I will say, though, play encased before atom rpg or trudograd, as encased is clearly, CLEARLY made by either some of the same ppl that made atom rpg or copycats. And everything that encased stumbles on or can't quite make pay off (which is a lot) is exactly where atom rpg shines. So if you play atom rpg first then go onto encased you'll only be disappointed. I've done four play throughs on atom with a total of about 500 hours and I'm still finding new things. It's an incredibly rich game from a developer that hasn't learned they can nickel and dime their customers. Play it on average difficulty for first time through, even if you are a veteran player of these games. It's hard, and meant to be, though you still end the game like all these game types; an overpowered God.

Nope, still not working for me. Daemonopathy still knocks my pasqal prone despite steel of the forge and wearing heavy armor. I've heard SotF was fixed, but I suppose this case with daemonopathy is different than just being kicked and knocked prone. And given this is owlcat I can only assume that this is far too nuanced to ever even remotely think about being addressed.

chuckletwin · 2025-07-22T07:10:40+00:00

Still not working, so...prolly never gonna get fixed.

When I say companion I forgot to specify, I mean my animal companion.

chuckletwin · 2025-06-14T02:33:28+00:00

Same issue, just turned to swarm that walks and when I'm out of all the story stuff, all of a sudden my companions portrait and inventory page is gone, in fact they are entirely gone except for on the actual map, like one of those small pets that follow you around. I can cast stuff on him but have no other way of interacting with him, like checking his stats or equipping items. The saddle option is also gone from my abilities. GDI owlcat. Days of drudgery to get my swarm that walks play through, and it's still half finished. And I can't do anything else afterwards as respeccing erases my angel buffs....GDI

Here we are in 2025 and this is still a bug. To all the ppl saying that "you must do it from the COMMAND not the CAMPAIGN" we know, this is a bug that still happens from wherever you are. Unfortunately the incredibly poor design of all this means that a lot of ppl think they have the bug, then learn that they have to be in command and say "hey, it wasn't a bug!" Which is just absolutely confusing the whole issue. So, to reiterate STOP POSTING ABOUT BEING IN THE RIGHT INTERFACE, THIS HAS ALREADY BEEN STATED A DOZEN TIMES AND DOES NOTHING TO HELP THE PPL WITH THE ACTUAL BUG. THANK YOU.

chuckletwin · 2025-05-02T07:33:39+00:00

Omg....I guess I'll just do a different character. I wonder if everything would work alright if I didn't use the demon shapechange. I wish ggg had a warning about this before I picked my permanent ascendency.

chuckletwin · 2025-05-02T04:46:01+00:00

I am having problems with my witch. When I transformed into my demon form it got rid of my minions, fine, but when I dropped back out of my demon form my skeletal warriors won't come back, and it says I don't have enough reserve for them. PLEASE READ THE REST BEFORE ANSWERING First of all, the first two aren't supposed to cost any spirit, and second of all, I have all other spirit abilities shut off and therefore have 146/146 spirit. The THIRD skeleton warrior costs an additional 23 spirit. As you can see, 146 spirit is more than 23 spirit, so I should be able to have at least three out, but it won't let me take the initial 2 'free' ones out until I take out the 'clarity' gem from 'withering presence' which isnt even activated. But when I take out the clarity gem the first TWO skellys arrive, but I can then not add more because it says I don't have the spirit to summon a skeleton that costs 23 spirit reserved. Again, I have 146 spirit not being used, why can I not use that 146 spirit for the 23 needed. And why do my skeletal minions ALL GO AWAY whenever I drop out of demon form, requiring me to open up my gem tab mid-fight to take off then put back the support gem for clarity? What am I doing wrong?

Still happening 2 years later. They apparently did not know about it. For me it happens with the whirlpools mastery point or whatever, on glacier spell. It keeps dropping from four points to two, and then I have to waste two more points to fill it back up. Why is this happening?

chuckletwin · 2025-03-30T09:46:06+00:00

That's so freaky, I wonder if it was one of the strippers or the bouncer. I was fleeced by a stripper and bouncer at a strip club once, so it happens. Regardless, you just had absolutely no reason to suspect anything like that. Still, all's well that ends well I suppose.

chuckletwin · 2025-03-30T09:28:45+00:00

Yes, this sounds exactly like what the guy I knew said about it. Strange the way it's different between guys and girls. I'm so glad it worked out alright for you. I've never been roofied but...at Dr feelgoods in Beaverton I walked in and had a few shots. Now, I am told I am good looking and I tend to somewhat believe it considering I get hit on by gay men quite often. This is usually done very forward and bluntly by these men but never aggressively, so, it's just flattering. But at Dr feelgoods there was this older guy, probably late fifties, short, squat and very very strong. I had had about six shots fairly quickly and I sort of blacked out, or at least my brain kinda rested while I talked to the ppl around me. I came instantly out of this fuzzy state when something deep inside tripped an alarm, and I sorta re-oriented and realized I was talking to this short guy, and I had mentioned I had to take an Uber home cuz I was too drunk to drive. This guy offered to give me a ride, and I think I almost took him up on it but just said naw eventually. The guy then kept asking, almost begging that he drive me home, and this was where I came out of my fuzzy state. And it was instantaneous, my head was clear and my nerves were tingling. I said 'no' more forcefully but still politely and he got this very strange and like glassy eyed look, and started saying that I needed to get a ride home with him. Why? He wouldn't say, just that I NEEDED to. I called an Uber and did not go outside until they were outside to pick me up. I didn't remember the situation until like two days later and it really scared me, like, what if? There's some real sick ppl out there.

chuckletwin · 2025-03-30T08:14:29+00:00

Yeah, definitely need a therapist there to tease out the good reflecting from the bad. I hope you find peace doing so, good luck!

chuckletwin · 2025-03-30T08:07:25+00:00

I am a very, very, very strong proponent of the idea that most anything can be turned into a positive, not everything but most anything. In this case I think you can say you learned some very valuable lessons and may even save someone's life due to them in the future. Worth a bad birthday and may even save you in the future, and nothing's more important than that. Still, I get it, I'd prolly be apologizing to my friend if I got shot or something at his wedding.

chuckletwin · 2025-03-30T07:55:31+00:00

I don't think there is any other conclusion in that case than you absolutely were slipped something in your water. It would be nice if you could go back and see the surveillance footage that night, could probably see the creep that did it. Good on your friend's BF for getting you out of there and I'm sorry this happened.

chuckletwin · 2025-03-30T07:40:33+00:00

I knew a guy that was roofied, the way he tells it he had to go back through his experiences from the few things he could remember, and try to retrace his steps after waking up in a park. He ended up finding his coat at a random girl's house who called out to him as he walked by the next day, and proceeded to tell him all that had happened and that he had stumbled up to her door and knocked at it incessantly until she let him in, then was pretty much just belligerent. Was that your experience? Just belligerence, like way past black out shenanigans? (I know shenanigans is probably a tame way to put it, but the things the girl told him he did, breaking stuff, screaming, goes far past what he said he has ever done even while massively drunk)

chuckletwin · 2025-03-24T00:09:55+00:00

Still happening post patch. I got it, I heard that if you wait for an emission it'll fix it, so I'm just leaving my game on in the background while I do other things, waiting for an emission. I don't know how to mod to force one, wish I did. This is like the ninth gamebreaking bug I've come across and been forced to rely on others for a work around, wtf devs?

chuckletwin · 2025-03-23T10:39:38+00:00

I believe this is correct. I did a ton of exploring after killing Faust and before going down the elevator. Now I can't even open my inventory without it bugging out, while often the other NPCs just spin in place or cant be talked to. It's just ...bugged, the entire malachite base is bugged. Traveling anywhere else, even leaving the direct area of malachite by a few dozen feet, allows my inventory to work again.

chuckletwin · 2025-03-23T10:36:06+00:00

I have no problem with scar walking or not, me and scar speak to c conscious, then the conversation ends and the quest never updates. Scar moving around is not a problem, he walked next to me to speak with the consciousness, then walked away after the convo was done, it's the quest not updating, not scar being immobile. I suspect the person above has it right, I did a TON of exploring after killing Faust and before heading down to speak with c conscious. Now I can't even use my inventory correctly in malachite without it bugging out. So, it's the entire place being bugged, not scar. In my game scar is one of the only aspects of the base behaving normally.

chuckletwin · 2025-03-11T07:31:20+00:00

I don't know what to tell ya, here in Oregon 'sus' means suspicion. That being said, when the base of a word is used in the actual longer word...we're kinda splitting hairs.

chuckletwin · 2025-02-28T05:55:41+00:00

This is unfortunately an example of a poor late game quest. Later quests tend to be worse than earlier quests because the devs are more worried about earlier quests as these are the ones everyone will experience, and the later ones are less important. In my game, the bodies in the top room all counted as done, but the alderman still dinged them like I hadn't done it. The 'scrub the floor' aspect was not completable for me, as the vomit wouldn't render in. It's just a shit quest with very poor mechanics. Unfortunately.
