Kitty's game show really feels like a side tangent thing. "Now you are high enough rank we will give you a pod to manage to test if you're leadership material." "Yeah I know we just got you set up to manage your pod with a house and staff and whatnot... but by the way, do you want to help out with a game show? "

Imo, the game show is just as important as wpod4 control. Yes, we are expected to not screw up wpod4 management and be able to make these girls into what the Board needs. However, as you may have noticed, Dom Kane's training in executive management, responsible decision making, prioritization, corporate testing, etc. has already begun.

It seems that even Juliette has stopped fooling around and is seriously ready to share her valuable experience and knowledge.I've already written about it before...I have a conviction that in 0.8.2 both Dominique and Juliette decided not to wait for the results of the game show and Kane's final evaluation and decided to combine the "pleasant with the useful" by starting to actively prepare him for the M-->>Z+ stage right here and now.

Plus, as far as I can tell, our management of wpod4 won't end at the finale of the show and we still have a lot of work to do. So I'd say both things are important, it's just that, as is often the case with branching games, there isn't “enough content for everyone” because it's spread evenly across all paths and you don't end up with too much for one chosen path/route. That's why I advocate big updates (at least 3000+ renders) so that "no one leaves without a gift", so to speak.

Yeah, I know the evaluation never stops and yes plot details will be thrown in regardless of what our "current task" is.

What I mean is the flow of events. Why state what our next assignment is, show off your new living arrangements, do a meet and greet with your staff, and the pod, and do your first pod assignment, only to interrupt it all to do the game show then go back to it afterwards? Why do the show in the middle? That's what I mean by side tangent.

I'm still not following you. You originally asked for 'updated' stats. Updated from what/where?

The only way you will see any stats (until it hits Steam) is by using URM, Steely's Mod or by inputting them directly into my own excel Save sheet (listed in the OP).

So, trying to figure out, I assume you were using Sancho's mod originally in Ch1-7 and then again in CH8 Part 1 yes? If so, if want to a clickable page to see stats (won't be all, no mod has ever shown all stats for all characters, not even Shancho's mod showed as many stats as my sheet does) then you will need Steely's Mod for Ch8 Part 2.

If this is not what you mean, then please try and explain what exactly you are looking for/wanting.

Thank you for your effort to understand. By "updated" I meant as choices as made.

I am on Chapter 4, no mods. I get it, it's a very complex game with many forks. I thought there might be some way to access/see stats at least for MC without using mods. Apparently not, which is fine, I mean you can pretty much figure out the "personality"/status from dialogue, but would be nice to see how attributes change numerically as I progress.

Right...gotya!

No, there is currently no way without mods or making a note yourself (main reason I made my sheet in the first first...especially if you have multiple saves going).

This is going to be implemented in the Steam release later this year(?) but as of now no. Easiest would be to use URM but if against that too then yeah you just need to guage it yourself unless you wish to use the pdf walkthrough as a referance while you play. (certainly highly recommended at some point as from Ch5 onwards, Tess herself does the WT so there are a lot of dev notes included which explain certain things and give future insights).

Is already done and I guess Tess is doing some non-canon renderings.

She said she would do something with the top 3, but recommended voting up to 5 out of 25 witches/candidates :devilish:.

Wow, almost my personal top 5. I'd just replace Doc with Sam (she's still in top10), and shuffle the ladies' places. I guess that makes me pretty normie taste-wise.

From this list I only voted for Jules and Alessandra, the rest of my votes went to Kiyomi and Delilah :ROFLMAO:.

The Dr. is OK but I don't want to be in K2, Olivia I still see as a "sister" and I never looked for anything else in the game and Angelica for me is just a redhead that is fine but I don't see her as anything outstanding especially when there are much better redheads in other games like Sage or Nami :illuminati::coffee:.

Remind me of the time an interactive book which plays in a Victorianesque world where we are the firstborn of a Baron while serving as a military officer, inherited in the second chapter the Barony and in the third chapter we where allowed to finally manage our land.
The problem whas there whas also another path in which we go to the capital because the politcal situation is so unstable.
Well guess in which path where the continued romance option which we had all in the second chapter?
