Ren'Py Desert Stalker [v0.19.4] [Zetan]

[dolfe67]

Do old saves work in the new update?

 

[Evil Earthworm Jim]

Weren´t they always thieves? What were they before

As far as I can recall, it was a slave, and she was human. They've likely changed it to be more in keeping with the quest giver's route, that being, she's now a mutant and stealing to survive.

Scroll back 5 pages back, lets pretend its only me and theres nothing wrong with this game lol
You're still gonna get same arguments me being here or not

Yes - but the difference is that you keep coming back to complain.

So we lost 5 whole renders...

So what?

If those 5 whole renders mean so much - get a modder to make a patch for you to put them back in.

After Patreon launched their latest crusade, forcing > 100 creators to change their stories and, for some, outright banning content/AVNs that Patreon had been fine with for years, any dev who ignores the Patreon warning is an idiot.

We have enough good/great AVNs that get the abandoned tag for other reasons - we don't need this dev to play chicken with Patreon on this.

You might think DS getting an abandoned tag is a 'win' - most of us here don't.

Cheers!!

I honestly really dislike that we are "forced" to let her go. The girl broke in peoples home, steal their stuff and proceed to assault them (mutilating both of them too) and somehow she got a free pass because she is a "mutant"? wtf. It's stupid and also: why in the world yuna would want to protect/save someone like that...

 

[Machete]

Not Nadia but twins. Nadia might be Zaton's daughter for all we know.

Might be. Nadia's father is not in the picture and it's not clear if she even know who he is, so it might even be Zaton. Yet i don't see the necessity of this plot element overall. There might be some big plot twist like she's the daughter of lord Abraxos or whatever Fallout cleaning product the name is, when he was still in the shoes of a horny middle aged Stalker. Like "So, you married her sister instead, Zaton? Mind if i take a ride on that wench?". But again, plotwise speaking, why? She can well stay "some dude's daughter". It's Zeta afterall. She could well be her grandfather's daughter.

 

[Lord Bradley]

Holy shit, just did mutant quest "Pepper's village" for the first time and it was such a great experience! I am doing loyal to Zeta run so I basically just want mutant technology and play double-agent in case they start doing some plans towards Zeta, but credit where credit is due they have some awesome adventures out there!

 

[muschi26]

The biker girl is either killed or let alive by Shani depending of her "self/help" stats that are influenced by her relationship with the MC (basicely the dialogues choices that you made in her convos).

Shut up, let me dream!

I admit, it was a lot easier for me to do "the right thing" in the previous incarnation of the quest. For myself, it was about protecting someone against senseless brutality through no fault of their own (I think the slave was expected to cook and prepare a meal, and they couldn't cook?) to protecting a thief. I feel the same way about the changes made to clearing out the decayed that are attacking the caravans. I enjoyed the little bit of backstory you got through the quest; it humanised the decayed a lot more, and you could reason with them for the release of the raider queen however now it feels as though I'm just brutilising a battered and tired people. There's still choice though, and if I were to be honest with myself, it does give greater impact to those choices, making them feel very real. It does make it harder I admit, to have had your cake and eaten it too; however, again, you need to decide what's more important. It'll encourage multiple playthroughs too, I suppose, although I respect that that's been a thin topic lately. Perhaps if you still get access to the content but just none of the extra benefits that would have come with it, you may be able to placate everyone, but that sounds like a fairly grey experience.

In the end though, if an experince isn't in keeping with someones idea of entertainment, what can you do. It's up to us to change the channel if we don't like what's on television. Find what's right for us.

I let the citizen deal with the thief themselves and report it to guards instead of saving the thief and Ivy (Yuna) is still friendly with MC. I even told Yuna that I would likely keep her as slave if she didn't escape. And as far as I can tell, if it's not a bug, she is still friendly with me. Even recently asked if I will visit her home again..

 

[Meabe37]

Hm i'm fairly certain that you cannot be on yuna love path if you don't protect the criminal girl, that's why i called it: "being forced" but yes you can choose i guess.... Anyway i could be wrong but i don't think i'm and it's just a very small thing so whatever. I'm not gonna drop the game for a super small event of a character that i don't care about and that we'll probably never see much again anyway^^

Excuse me!? Love??? Are you trying to fall in love while having perfect wife and family at home? Be thankful MC can dip his dick in anything that moves. Love... pfff... Zahra close your eyes and ears, there are total degenerates in this thread!

Well yes! Plenty of room at home to add a couples of news wifes (that we gonna share with Zahra of course, i'm not a degen at all i swear, Zahra like it too!) ) Yuna, Mina , Rahbia, the Queen... (hm now that i'm thinking about it, do we even know what Queen Merneith name is?^^) Anyway, i have a big "heart"... need a lot of wifes to fill it you know

I could see Zahra getting along with all of them except the Queen lol.
I really wonder if Zahra and the queen will clash later in the story. I can't imagine the queen would be ok with being the second fiddle to Zahra in relation to the MC and Zahra would for sure not accept giving up what she sees as her rightful position as wife and queen Bee to MC.

I disagree, sure officially no one can be superior to the Queen. But i could definitively see Zahra completely dominate her behind close doors and loving doing it. I also think it would be pretty hot for Zahra to have complete control of "the most powerful women" (in the world?). MC offering that much power to Zahra would be chef kiss to their relationship imo.

Some times good people do bad things. Not everything is black or white.

If you want poor people to stop stealing, maybe the best solution isn't to just kill them all or kicking them all to prison.

I can imagine Zahra getting in bed with the queen extremely fast. Zahra is extremely intelligent and quite manipulative when she wants to, and she can also be quite cruel, like she can be with Fairy depending on your choices. You put together the queen and zahra, and the queen has 0 chances, in my humble opinione. She would become Zahra's puppet quite fast.

Zahra has this calm and serene attitude that can melt people with a look, and the queen is obviously desperate to make up parenting figures.

Or maybe it is.
They can't steal if they are dead now, do they ?

Is there any way to pass the dialogues in new gameplay when you play a new game within a new version or do you still have to fucking have to pass dialogues by mouse clicking even if you did it like 10 times ago previously? Seriously frustrating when forced in a new game, even your progress is gone but you still have to reapeat all the dialogues without being able to pass them? Rage.

Go to the settings menu and click "Unseen text". This allows you to skip everything.
