ragnin Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 I just got the game and I was wondering if there was anyway to choose or influence what exotic familiar you get? I would like to try a game with a hawk or dragon or hedgehog but I just keep ending up with the fish, rabbit or lizard. The method of creating a new character till I get what I want is a bit tedious. So does anyone know of a way/trick to get a specific one? I wish they gave you the option to choose which exotic you got for the cost of an extra point.

Legate of Mineta Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 Ragnin; No, although we plan to implement a higher cost option for you to choose your Exotic Familiar. The problem currently is that both NPC and Player Familiars could be selected the way that we could do that now- so, it needs some refinement before we can release it to you. Thanks!

89157Z Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 Can I turn off certain familiars? I really don't want a monkey or a hedgehog and I'm phobic of spiders. The names of the familiars I don't like are becoming recognizable much faster than the names of the ones I do like. Every time I see the 'Nancy Japes' name I think, "Ugh, I got the monkey again." Then I have to recreate the character. This time I saw that - I still have it open in another window - and I tried to cancel out of the dialogue. I can't. I can only hit 'close' which carries me into the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 89157Z; No, although you have that possibility in the Mod Tools. At some point we'll resolve the problem with Choice for Familiars and give you the Ability to choose your own Exotic for 2 points. Until then...luck of the draw!

89157Z Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 Grumble. Maybe I'll just stick to the preset ones until then. I really got sick of the name Nancy Japes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tenchifew Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 I really wanted to play with silent Alice. 30 character creations later no luck . Randomizer doesn't like me, it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 Tenchi; I hope you can get her before DLC 2. She has a new Adventure in the works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tenchifew Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 Thank you for the information. On the other hand maybe I should then wait until dlc 2 comes out, since it is usually a good idea to start a new game after a patch anyway.

Legate of Mineta Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 Tenchi; DLC 2 will be out at end of October- just as long as you don't mind waiting for Alice until then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tenchifew Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 Let's just say I won't make another dedicated try to get her till then . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds great, but are there any plans for additional familiars? For example I would really like the option of a fox familiar... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 Exfides; There have been great suggestions for new Familiars on the forums (including a Fox), and we'll undoubtedly make more available in Year 2. Because of the artwork requirements, though, it's difficult to create more for Year 1- that said, there's nothing that prevents it, with all the needed pieces.

Because of the artwork requirements, though, it's difficult to create more for Year 1- that said, there's nothing that prevents it, with all the needed pieces. First thank you for the reply. I do understand that you might not be able to get new familiars in this first incarnation, though it would be greatly appreciated for one of characters I have in mind. However, I do wonder how you plan on to have additional familiars in Year 2, as I was under the impression that each year would be a stand-alone game. I could be misunderstanding something though. In any case thank you again for the reply! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 Exfides; The games are definitely not standalone. You will take your Character from Year 1, with every statistic and status intact into Year 2. If you wish, you can purchase new Familiars and pets in Year 2, to replace your current one. I can't say more than this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't say more than this. Oh I knew you'd be able to take your character, et al to Year 2. By "stand alone" I meant that year two would be a separate program/application instead of an add-on to the original, thus content from that one wouldn't necessarily be transferable to the original. Thus, for example, if we have to wait for Year 2 for a fox familiar that wouldn't necessarily mean we could start a new character in Year 1 with that type of familiar (barring a DLC for Year 1 released while you are working on, or after the release of, Year 2 ).
