RPGM A Struggle with Sin [v0.5.9.6] [Chyos]

[Kreeto]

By doing things like chopping wood (strength) helping Penny with the farm (constitution), working with Claire (dex), or hunting animals (hunting obviously ). There are more options for raising talents.

Yeah I know that. But I'm asking how to raise talent points not skill?

Hmm. Pretty sure there was, somewhere (Bridget's mother <-> old job <-> Bernard <-> gold for letter), in the coversations if you imprison the mustached' lackey instead.
In any case, this still means there's an investigation thread that goes nowhere and we're still stuck "keeping a nun pure" which in my case is 10+ hrs of grinding (since I held off the quest, but ground out absolutely every additional Relationship score to max and spent ages looking for these treasure maps, which still elude me).

This is also not to mention that the entire quest line of "virgins are pure, but anal sex is totes a get out clause from God" is silly in game and it's absurd in real life (Hello Mormons and "soaking").

So, sure: you're correct, Bridget is not specifically mentioned in that conversation. But the rest of it stands, and you're a pedantic little shit.

All Traces "left behind" point towards Matthias if you follow Bridgets story she points you towards Agatha and her hidden diary, which in turn adds more info towards this, but none of the Nuns will help you to find the murderer.
Just keep Bridget a Virgin until after the ritual and follow all the hints you can think of.
The walkthrough gives a pretty strong hint on how to learn the trueth regarding the murder case

"Just keep Bridget a virgin" is zero help, and not even the best choice - you should unlock Heather and stick to anal, she still agrees to move to your house and Bridget's Love score cannot be raised unless you're cream pieing for ze babies. If you want to max all scores Love/Corruption, sleep with Heather (no vaginal), sleep with GILF, sleep with Bridget (vaginal only to raise Love). This solution maxes all chars and keeps the inquistion ending.

Which I already knew, but locked myself out of, due to bad writing. It's just a badly written quest with no real variables and irksome triggers that should lead somewhere, but do not. Heck, involve the Goddessess for a solution, they've not done anything for aeons now.


So, bad advice all around there.

Or just a common lack of comprehension about something quiet forward and explained by many Characters, books and other sources.
You need to take Heathers virginity for the final hint in the murder quest (as the walkthrough clearly states), hencefor saveing Bridgets virginity until after the ceremony is adviceable (IF you want to know who is the true murderer).

You mean this trigger, and you're stating it's the only trigger to allow the murder to be solved correctly:

"4. After taking her virginity she will write a letter to her mother in her room.
5. If you read that letter and before have found the letter in Matthias room
the MC will make a connection."

You do realise that this means there's a single solution to this quest, and requires (despite the urgency and demands of both Bridget and Agatha) that you *must* sleep with Heather and *not* sleep with Bridget to complete this quest and the murder? Despite the fact that the player will most likely unlock the virginity taken option ages before the later interrogate / release Antonius dialogue options? Which means the player is making a connection that the game later retcons? What happens if the player chooses to use Heather instead of Bridget in the ritual (which the game, again, rail-roads because of Jorge and time-limit, etc etc)?

So, well done: you've proven it's badly written and rail-roads the player. The quest has a fail state enforced if you follow the story, and forces deflowering Heather, which is the most logical choice (see above: only way to max all characters).

Anyhow, since people are reporting minor comments and ignoring the aggressive passive/aggressive post that started this all off, done with this. I'll just edit the save file and remove the flag.

The Quest can have many outcomes includeing chargeing someone innocent for the act... that was clear from the start... you don't need to go this far, but if you want to know the absolute trueth you have to jump a few loops (btw knowing the trueth isn't really the best outcome to the murder investigation)... which in itself is nothing new for AswS.
But hey if that's your personal taste be my guest.

It is not a minor comment; you called me a name If it is not an insult, Mod wont remove it

Was the signet ring you find in Penny's garden changed?

Before you could equip it using the equip menu, now it is no longer available. If you go to Item then Armor and select it the option to use it is greyed out. Are there special requirements to put it on? Or is it a bug?

Yeah the bug is fixed already in the next version

Making and selling armour gives you literally an infinite supply of money (since the cost of buying the materials is less than the price I get by selling it). I know it makes sense in a realistic way but it kinda removes any incentive to grind and earn

You, go develop your game instead of spamming gifs!

Well, it's not like I'm not 'orking on it. But if you wish I can spam memes instead.

Turns out my subscription isnt quite done. i THINK this is the last post i get until my subscription runs out (or it isnt and i am a liar):



Good afternoon,

the first testversion is out, but of course I'm still working on the next objective.
But before I continue with that time for a short update.

A large part of the working time this week went into balancing the combat system. But of course it doesn't stop there, as you may have already seen in the 0.5.6.5 version I have made further minor changes. Among other things I have reworked a few dialogue pictures, including those of Marcus (which were long overdue) and also for the MC. Especially with the latter I had a hard time, because I know that it's hard to adjust to a new character image when you're used to the old ones (it was already something that only worked grudgingly the last time). But it was also very necessary, as the old character pictures had already collected a lot of dust. It will take some time to get used to, but I hope you can accept the new look of the MC (I tried to get the images as close to the old ones as possible), if you want I can also upload a patch with which you can restore the old dialogue pictures.

The changes to the combat system are far from complete. I plan to add more skills to the enemies and of course do more tests on higher levels in the coming week.
One thing I couldn't implement sadly is the set bonus feature. I've tested it on Wednesday and it worked fine until I tried loading an existing save (the game crashed). So I removed the armor sets again.
This together with the category system for items is now on the list of features that will require a save wipe. As promised I won't do it in this rework update, but I fear there won't be a way around it in the future. Right now it still isn't enough reason for me to make a save wipe, but I think that the next time I do a rework update there will be more plugins that I want to add so then it will become necessary. I know I said I didn't want to do this again, but it looks like I can't get around it if I want to add all the features I want for the game. So just so you can mentally prepare: I will do another save wipe on the next rework update (I hate to announce that).

I'm currently working on making the relationship with Emily optional. If everything goes as planned, I'll get it finished today. In the coming week I then plan to work on the other goals for this rework update. First the Rumah timetable, Frisha and the Kings visit, a rework of Claire's first animations + Imawyn's and there are a lot of smaller things that I will look into.
I've recently started a new playthrough myself to get a better understanding of which passages of the game need to be improved. I did this also to get the combat balancing right, but yeah that is still a longer process as said before.

Then there is of course also the upcoming christmas event. As said already I want to add something new for that this year, so that is something for you to decide. I will think about which scenes would work and then I'll make a poll in which you vote for who get's the christmas scene (Kate will be excluded since she already had one). That will be started in the coming week.

Okay, that's all for now. I'll now continue working.
I wish you all a nice weekend!

It's not like you really have to grind money if you know what to do, for example you get 1 gold per elder wood, so it's easy to rack up huge amounts of money.

No spamming gifs and ASWS memes is good, I am just very curious, I need updates

I still don’t know tho if every item including elder wood should be reworked, me and Chyos haven’t discussed it yet.

Heck, involve the Goddessess for a solution, they've not done anything for aeons now.

> Goddesses

I genuinely completely forgot I have two goddesses
I remembered gwen/isha, the useful magic witch goddess that gives you power.
I totally forgot though that I have athia as my maid/sex slave.
