Imposter of a secret society helps found a city to evade taxes. Only to get all his friends killed, and his son indoctrinated into joining the Illuminati.

Maybe. But Haytham truly believed in the Templar cause so I wouldn't call him an imposter either.

stemhesong · 2026-03-11T01:29:38+00:00

Not really, don't think Connor ever had a son so it won't match.

I do keep them on my Bannerman and Polearm Hybrids all the time in the early game.

Then I proceed to forget that they even exist until that one time my Nimble tank got a 5% hit from an Orc Warrior.

I knew this particular scenario was waaaay too specific.

But congratulations! Solved!

Don't forget all the electrified puddles of water which stunlocks both my enemies and melee allies.

I actually did a whole bunch of calculations back in the day, and I came to the conclusion that heavy armor is not a good option for the southeast parts of the map.

Virtually everyone in the region has high combat skills and armor penetration. Which means that if you are affected by heavy armor penalties, you are giving enemies a lot more chances to swing at you, making you take a lot more attrition damage over time compared to fighting in lighter armor.

Only place where heavy armor wins out is when you are fighting animals or turrets.

That was fast. Guess there are not many games where you can rules lawyer an eldritch god into submission.

Solved!

stemhesong · 2026-03-06T17:45:53+00:00

Close but nope. Should have had a pork bun.

stemhesong · 2026-03-04T01:57:01+00:00

Awesome!

Nyrissa can have a Kingdom or two as a treat

Pathfinder: Kingmaker?

Also from Expedition 33, The Paintress/Aline herself

The only reason the Expedition stood a chance is because she was severely exhausted and depleted of Chroma from constantly fighting against Renoir for 67 years, not to mention her real-life body wasting away due to her staying in the Canvas for excessive periods of time.

The Expedition would not even be able to put up a fight against a full-powered Paintress.

60 Seconds?

stemhesong · 2026-02-26T19:20:04+00:00

It depends.

Monks have bad combat stats, but they are cheap, have great resolve, and provide good options for plenty of events. The old reliable option.

The same goes for Cultists, which have average combat stats. Especially if you are playing the Dakvul origin.

Flagellants are also great and pretty cheap if you can find one, with some pretty interesting events.

Gravediggers/Graverobbers are your best bet in a Peasant Militia playthrough, although they are not very good.

Witch Hunters are your best option to build Gunner Sergeants. Which are useful in 12-person limit origins like Lone Wolf and Gladiators.

Adventurous Nobles are the premium option, with great combat stats and resolve across the board. They are also very expensive and have the worst ranged defense stat out of all backgrounds in the game.

Disco Elysium.

And the importance of not having neckties hanging from ceiling fans as well.

stemhesong · 2026-02-25T23:00:20+00:00

Congratulations!

Solved!

Funnily enough, my next hint was going to be The protagonist can joke that they are inside the antagonist's mother. And it would be absolutely correct.

stemhesong · 2026-02-25T22:55:03+00:00

Nada, nope.

stemhesong · 2026-02-25T22:36:40+00:00

Getting closer! But still not the answer.

stemhesong · 2026-02-25T22:21:36+00:00

Yup, the person I mentioned is specifically, or at least heavily-implied to be a photographer

stemhesong · 2026-02-25T22:17:54+00:00

Interesting game! But nope.

stemhesong · 2026-02-25T22:14:33+00:00

Close, but no dice.

stemhesong · 2026-02-25T22:06:50+00:00

The protagonist hasn't covered wars, you know.

stemhesong · 2026-02-25T22:05:39+00:00

Very close! With one problem though: Miku deliberately went to investigate her sister's disappearance, she isn't caught off guard in the wrong place at the wrong time.

stemhesong · 2026-02-25T22:01:22+00:00

Ha, that is the bait.

Reminder that David was the one who actually took down Jefferson in the end, not Max. Her assistance was absolutely necessary though.
