Others Completed Artificial Academy 2 [MiniPPX v8] [Illusion]

[Monosomething]

I hate when 2 NPCs with certain trait/module combinations hook up and become static/untouchable for the rest of the game. In my current game the Evil, Singleminded teacher has hooked up with an NPC that has the Loyal module. With that combination it's impossible for anyone else to hook up with them, or to break them up. The only possibility is if one of them is killed, or if the teacher gets expelled, but there's no direct way to kill them, and neither of them is low virtue, so the chance of them getting caught in public is unlikely.

For some reason when seeing my post above yours and yours here, ive had deja vu. The matrix is failing... or it also might be the result of me being sick as a dog since sunday.

I have a few singleminded cards in my deck (4 or so), but i generally avoid putting more than one of them into a game. Its a pain in the ass trying to peel someone off a singleminded character, since the only way in is bad rumors (where the non-singleminded character gets refused enough that they just want to break up). Some of the traits were well thought-out, others not. Singleminded is great, and sucks at the same time. Modules only make it worse.

I mean... i did a test of a singleminded slut being loyal without a single slip up. Sluts aint supposed to be loyal, damn it! Thats what makes them sluts! Its nice having an open minded chick that doesnt mind where she fucks or who is watching, but combined with singleminded is just a little bit too much goofyness.

My advice would be to check modules on certain cards and strip them, if said modules do the same thing traits on that card do, or reinforce it. I get the feeling people dont exactly understand what certain traits do, since ive seen them dump traits on a card that nullify each-other.

I do inspect/tweak every card that I download, but I've never had a policy concerning Singleminded or similar modules. I may have to rethink that however. Either that, or treat one of them as another murder target, but that challenge only works if there's characters in the class with modules that make that possible, such as Murderous.

I currently don't allow more than one character with the Wild trait in the class because they ask you to skip so much that the PC might as well just drop out of school. It's not as bad with Cooldown limiting them to asking only once per day, but I still don't want 10 different characters asking me each day.

There's also certain modules I will remove, such as Sexually Confused, since that can also lead to characters being untouchable if their orientation shifts all the way to hetero/homo, depending on the PC's gender.

Yeah, Wild is one of those traits i also keep away from (and the cards in the deck). Supposedly it gives one some benefits, but it skips through the day, not allowing anything else to be done in one (? or more?) break periods. Do you actually get booted out of school for skipping classes? I think the teacher should - theres even a hint about that. But regular students?

You only skip a single period thankfully. There's a relationship boost with the character you skip with, and they'll sometimes take you to the infirmary to have sex, but I think the same rules apply as having sex in general i.e. they'll only do that if: they're low virtue; normal virtue Sex Friends; or if they're already your lover. Those are the only benefits to it that I'm aware of.

Students won't get kicked out for doing it. They just lose out on the tiny stat increase from attending the class. I've never actually seen a teacher get kicked out for that, but I've also never seen an NPC teacher skip class. I think that only applies if the PC is the teacher.

Thanks !

Also, is there anyway of stopping your partner from cheating? This girl has been running around trying to mess with everyone.

In an ongoing game there isn't much you can do if your partner is Low/Lowest Virtue. High Virtue characters are less likely to cheat, and Highest Virtue will never cheat. NPCs with the Singleminded trait won't cheat either, as we were just discussing in the posts above this one. There's also the

modules.

If you're looking to make these changes in an ongoing game you'll have to use QtEdit to edit the save, otherwise you'll have edit the character in AA2Edit before you start your next game.

Is there a repack or something? Or do I just get the game and find modules scattered arround

and Highest Virtue will never cheat.

A little correction here: highest virtue will not accept another relationship, but they might cheat when presented with an opportunity to compete over someone they have very high love count with. The series of circumstances for this to happen are extremely rare and easy to detect prior to the event.

Can't wait for this game be released in 2056

Does this mean it include all dlcs? "All official content and patches"

That's interesting because Highest Virtue is less likely to have sex in public, and they don't typically continue when seen, so if they were to do so as the result of competing I'd imagine it wouldn't last long since they'd probably stop as soon as they're seen, which would be instantly unless competition sex nullifies that

I mean, "instantly" in terms of sex duration when seen is kind of all over the place with highest virtue cards. This is especially true when you take into consideration that WE have to deal with a chicks virginity, if we win the competition, so we go for anal to open her up, while the AI doesnt have this problem (virginity for them is irrelevant - first act for them might be vaginal penetration).

Still, its not healthy leaving your (highest virtue) partner festering with a high love count to anyone. The circumstances for both sides having high love count, and the party competed over electing your partner are extremely slim, but i still hammer down on any such manifestation of love count. Think: its the second or third week, one of the cards in the deck has pissed off everyone and gets kicked. You then replace them with someone else, MM does its thing... you know how this goes.

In the grand scheme of things highest virtue card is still the most loyal, only beaten by a card with singleminded trait. Singleminded will never cheat or choose anyone but their partner in a competition. Theres absolutely no way to get in their pants with our commonly used methods. A lazy choice for someone who doesnt know the game, i guess.

Don't do that, the wiki is terribly outdated.

ranph1 Try the dgVodoo 2 fix instead of d3dx9. It should be in the win10fix options if your AAU is up to date.

hi, im trying to install the file given (the most recent one). and it says that I'm missing d3dx9_42.dll

What do I do?

Not sure why you're quoting a post I made 5 years ago but you should try running the redistributables inside the extra folder.

You make it sound like im the owner of the site. If its down, give it a while to come back up. Write it off as maintenance.

I went ahead and removed the Singleminded trait, and the Loyal/Monogamous modules from all of my cards. That should eliminate some of the stagnation caused by permanent couples for the entire game. Outright removing the trait/modules seemed like a simpler solution than keeping track of which cards had them and only allowing one per class. That also would have been a lot of cards that couldn't be used regularly.

Like ive mentioned before, i do have some singleminded cards, but im keeping close tabs on them. Off the top of my mind:
2 normal virtue chicks + singleminded.
1 slut + singleminded (oddity, which is why ive kept it)
2 (man)sluts + singleminded (another oddity).

Now, when i download cards, i simply remove this trait. This, and wild (since i find both annoying due to different reasons).
You know... your cooldown module might make the wild trait less annoying, but its kind of a habit now to still keep the Deaf trait on my PC to counter it.

Singleminded is a really good, and at the same time, really shitty trait overall. It removes the gameplay out of the game. I like the whole aspect of constantly competing to get the girl. I dont need help from this trait. Whats more - if a singleminded chick gets into a relationship, while she would be loyal after me breaking her out of her relationship, i feel like im wasting time on her. Nobody is gonna get in her pants, because of the trait, and if they try - they will just waste their time. Its like a black hole of a trait. Its great for beginners, i would assume - get in the pants of a singleminded partner and party all day. No threat from getting cucked, murdered (no way for evil characters to find a hook on the singleminded character or you) or otherwise fucked with. But then you do get the hang of things, and theres nothing more entertaining than seeing your competitor trying to do something with your girl, you barging in and telling him to scurry off, to then the girl doubling down on it, and the guy going "Eeeeeh?!". "Eeeeeh?!" indeed, you fucking mongoloid - your MM will not save you.


Anyways, ive updated the personality pack (finally!). What is new in it, again? Think youve mentioned a personality, but it was so long ago i forgot by now... heh.
