Rhialto 17 Report post Posted December 17, 2017 I was wondering if the following triggers could be used to permit players to begin adventures or encounter random events during Y2: 1. Whether a PC or NPC has passed and/or failed a Y1 course. 2. Whether a PC and an NPC have Affection (and/or Love) between each other. 3. Whether the PC and a professor or Regent have a given relationship value. Similarly, I wonder whether the presence of Affection (and/or Love) between the PC and and NPC and the presence of a relationship of varying strengths between the PC and professor or Regent could be used as the basis for certain choices within random events or adventures.

Metis 1,066 Report post Posted December 17, 2017 The second and third are possible in Y1, I'd be very surprised if Y2 took a step backwards with not making it possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rhialto 17 Report post Posted March 1 Would it be possible to use a character's familiarity research level as a trigger? That, is, either by unlocking additional texts/options in an adventure if a character has a given research level (say, Wit 10) or even unlocking new adventures at such levels? This would certainly make Research more rewarding. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rhialto 17 Report post Posted March 1 @Legate of Mineta Great news. Now I can finally complete an adventure for Y2 that I have been planning for months! Any chance of the Team posting within the next few days or weeks a comprehensive list of Y2 improvements/new features? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rhialto 17 Report post Posted March 3 Is it possible to trigger a choice in an adventure based upon whether the PC is informed of a location? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legate of Mineta 0 Report post Posted March 3 Hmmmm. I don't believe so, no. But it may be that type of information is just not enabled. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rhialto 17 Report post Posted March 3 @Legate of Mineta: And here I was thinking that I was asking a stupid question. I am glad that I have an answer, at least. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Metis 1,066 Report post Posted March 3 Y1 has at least one adventure that does exactly that (the Dream Theory adventure, depends on whether you're informed about the Dimmae Theater), so I'd assume that Y2 could accomplish at least as much... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rhialto 17 Report post Posted March 3 @Metis: In fairness, I am not asking in terms of unlocking an adventure, but rather unlocking an option within an adventure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Metis 1,066 Report post Posted March 3 As far as mechanics are concerned they're actually the same thing. Well, in Y1 they are. Y2 might be a completely different story, of course. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legate of Mineta 0 Report post Posted March 4 Metis; This kind of prerequisite can be done, I'm just not sure if the type is enabled. But if it is in Y1, then it is by default in Y2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rhialto 17 Report post Posted August 1 @Legate of Mineta: Is there a memory associated with meeting a certain woman in a swamp and tricking her about a certain book? If so, may I know the name of this memory for writing my Y2 adventure? Is there a memory associated with merely meeting this woman in a swamp (not to be confused with Euneycia who lives in a bog)?
