Schwarzbart Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 Just be carful as a clique infighting can end in a way you don't like as some other of your clique might split off as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metis Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 Does Academagia have a Grim Reaper analogue, and if yes, are people expected to fear him/her/whatever? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ascartand Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 Speaking of deities or other supernatural creatures. How would the other students view someone of a completely different religious faith. Suspicion? Outright contempt? (I assume from the insanely devout.)

isadorbg Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 Probably depends on the devotion of each students and the religious faiths they interact with. "cough" Dragons cults "cough". (oups missed the devout part) then probably from bad to veryy bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ascartand Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 I wonder if Star Worship would be accepted considering that Astrology is accepted in Elumia. I guess unless the faith also praise dragons it would be allowed. Having the Sun personified as the antichrist would be hilarious though considering that people would be like: How could the sun be evil?

Legate of Mineta Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 Metis; No. The Dragons serve admirably as a proxy. Ascartand; In general, suspicion, enmity or pity. All other religions are considered to be under draconic influence, barring the worship of the Old Gods. The Imperial Temple holds that it was the Old Gods who gave the New their powers, and left this world, so their worship is at best deluded.

Ascartand Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 So poor Miron D'al Vernaris would be seen as a madchild and under draconic influence at worst or deluded at best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metis Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 Can anyone confirm for me that in the new version of the game you can add a functional Stress Bonus to an Ability up to your Stress Maximum? I seem to be amid some conflicting information here, but all I've got available right now is the old client, so... (BTW, egads the old UI...people complaining about the new one got no right to if you ask me...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ascartand Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 I think there is but it is only temporary. During my latest playthrough, I used an ability that increased stress maximum temporarily. But I don't recall exactly. I will try to find out what it is when I play again. (and yes. Complaints about the new ui are out of this world considering what we had to deal with.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nagashofchaos Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 Why am I by chance learning Mastery and Gates from Longshade Library, I don't want to die (T_T) I'm just trying to increasing my study habits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metis Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 (edited) Eh, what? Not an ability that temporarily increases Stress Max, I'm talking about adding a Stress Bonus. You know, the thing below Location? Get bonus, get stress? The "Stress Bonus" text is grayed out when you try to add it to an ability, but at least in the old version of the game, it still works perfectly fine. I used it on Professor Storey's Office: Professor's Desk with a character that had a Purple check, but 12 Stress Bonus (for reference, this char has only 4 Fitness...) later and it succeeds. Why am I by chance learning Mastery and Gates from Longshade Library, I don't want to die (T_T) I'm just trying to increasing my study habits "Random" skill step expansions are completely random, they don't account for a skill's legal status at all. In Y1 there's unfortunately nothing that can be done about it other than reloading. Edited April 22, 2017 by Metis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ascartand Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 Oh. No I have not encountered such a thing yet. I can try it and get back to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metis Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 ...You didn't know about the Stress Bonus mechanic? How'd you ever manage to get together a large Clique early game without it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ascartand Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 Through ignorance? I probably used it without knowing unless it requires you to manually click. I don't usually make cliques, usually go lone wolf that occasionally help students. When I do make cliques it usually only have two npc students and that is it.

Metis Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 (edited) No, it requires you to manually put in a number, there's no buttons that do that. But if you're not going for an early large-ish Clique, I guess that explains it. It's not something that helps with adventures (much to my eternal chagrin), and I personally tend to not use it since I prefer Sparkling Fields, Cheer and Fire Spread over being able to Rest. Ever. Might not be the best idea if I can burn my entire Stress bank on an ability roll, though. Going to have to experiment with that later... EDIT: Ah right, question also: Do the non-human races also all (largely) worship the New Gods, or do they have their own traditions?

Nagashofchaos Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 Is there a way to open up a save file to extract mid-term/final scores? I always end up remembering Freespace's grade document after I complete the game.Also I loaded the autosave that is made at the end of the game, and there is another month; is that suppose to be there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwarzbart Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 To my understanding that the autosave allow you to continue when you load it is a intended bug to allow an unsupported endless game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metis Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 On the first point, there probably is, but I highly doubt anyone could tell you how to do it. Best to just load the safe file, manually scroll back to the various exam dates and check the histories. I think the game will still list them, at least it'll list your exam scores. On the second point, not really. Early in development it was intended for the PC to go through the first summer during the first year, but that ended up on the cutting board, so now the two summer months are just kind of there, only accessibly by loading the autosave. Their holiday events don't actually exist, nor does anything else, and while I think in theory it's possible to loop back to Juvenalia and replay through the whole year again in practice your save file will end up getting so bloated that eventually the game won't be able to load it anymore.

Keep in mind you don't get an endless game, just two extra months. When the year rolls around again you can't choose your actions anymore and interesting things happen.

Nagashofchaos Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 (facepalms) omg I can't believe I forgot it records the history for the date; well I was sleepy so I guess that's why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just tried it with befriend action with 1 charm with a fitness of 1. Stress bonus up to 3 and no further. Succeeded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
