Anyone have the answers to dominate griselda in the debates?
There's a loose guide somewhere in these thread pages if you want to dig for it. I have no idea how far back it is at this point, though.

If you want to give it another shot before looking for that - in general, the idea is to not give her information, including information by omission (meaning staying quiet when she probably already knows the truth).
There's also some opportunities to course correct during final negotiations, so if you're not sure if you made it or not, don't choose the "get naked" options, actually negotiate.

If you played Arrival and have the Clown Nose, there should also be an instance of Punchinella in your guest house that will tell you how many points you've earned toward the achievement.

This is gonna sound kinda random but yeah.
So, my 'Trails' addiction kicked in and I'm really enjoying Trails Through Daybreak and I'm currently in this little village on a case and I'm talking to all the NPCs and am, once again, reminded of just how well written and 'real' they are.

Why does this matter and how does it relate to this game?
Cuz I get the same vibe from the writing in this game.
Actually, it's one of the things I rally like about it even if I do have my issues with the game.
I think the one thing indie games like this do better though is sometimes going the extra mile with side quests that aren't super obvious or to the detail in the Folk exclusively speaking Uncommon.
But then, I'm the kinda dork who enjoys breaking into randos houses and talking to everyone I can at least twice.
Can't wait for the next build... even if Melissa gives me a giant migraine and the lack of decent grinding spots.

just started the game after doing the lil prequel and did not expect it to get that heavy that quickly. I definitely appreciate Master's character after the cumhail sequence.

A bug (?) to report, three questions, and a request:

Bug: Emily doesn't show up in the maids list under estate, which is leaving my completion at 95% (unless she doesn't count but then why would Vicky?)

Q1: What's the deal with the abandoned estate in the North Forest? I can spare the Silcrow, but it seems...anticlimactic? The staff still seem zoned out afterwards, I abandoned that save, do I have to wait longer, does it have anything to do with making a Writ (based on the not-abandoned for 50 yrs section of Ambrose's treatise on conflict)?

Q2: You mention a hidden attic in the Lalita Estate. Any hints on that? There's only so much interacting with random walls before I lose interest.

Q3: Are the druids around still? Do I have to find them in a particular order/ season?


Request: Lothario's maids seem too hot to only get the thumbnails and sprites, any chance we can get to look at Blondie and Ginger's full outfits while we talk to them? I believe we only see them in the magazine. (Peeking at bondage practice would be hot too)

The side quests in Augalamh didn't seem to trigger as there's nothing to do. Don't know whether I'm missing something or what. EDIT: nvm seems it's only available after doing the tower and getting the two holds.

Yup, Emily's meant to show up but the entry discovery bugged out. It's been fixed for v0.15.2.

The Nithercott Estate was meant to tie into the first Haunt, but I didn't have enough time to develop the update as intended in time for that year's Halloween release, so it (along with the Beauregard Estate in the East Swamps and the Edgerton Estate in the North Swamps) got tied into the second Haunt. For all three, repairing/destroying/ignoring the headstones all have different outcomes in that segment, with the Nithercott Estate in particular having some additional content (unless you destroy the headstone) after completing that segment that'll become relevant in Act 3.

That would be telling. =P It's on the west wall to the south of the stairs on the upper floor, but there's nothing there (right now; I'm hoping to have time to do something with it for v0.15.2). For all the asinine complaints I get of "big empty maps," that attic right now literally is just a big empty map. It originally didn't exist because big and empty is all it would've ever been, but people kept asking about it and I can't stop myself from putting secrets in places, so now it's there and it'll have a purpose eventually.

It's possible to meet one druid at random in the Deep Wilds (she has around a 1-2% chance of appearing) and you can get to the grove for another druid at any time, but druids will only appear/talk to you properly either during the Grow or if you have the trophy associated with them. Even the one that appears randomly in the Deep Wilds won't really talk to you if she shows up and you don't have the trophy.

Request: Lothario's maids seem too hot to only get the thumbnails and sprites, any chance we can get to look at Blondie and Ginger's full outfits while we talk to them? I believe we only see them in the magazine. (Peeking at bondage practice would be hot too)
That's actually something else that's coming as part of v0.15.2 with Alice's affection quest. I'm still not 100% set on how I want to do it, but they'll be involved.

Is this missing the male domination tag? or is it just not very frequent? Or is it not male dom at all?

It was missing.
In the interest of transparency, both maledom and femdom are present, though neither are a particular focus (but maledom is considerably more common than femdom).

Every so often tags get reported and things get added that aren't supposed to be there or get removed when they are, so there have been a few times when the tag list doesn't match the genre list in the OP. I just set the tag list to match the OP's genre list, so tags should be accurate now. There were a bunch missing.

Something like three scenes out of over 150. It's not much (unless you consider things like the cowgirl position or a woman being sexually assertive as femdom).
The tag is mostly there because two of those scenes are unavoidable and contain story-relevant dialogue.
i see thanks. hope to see more until then ill keep my eyes on this game good luck !

Where is the desert located??
North of the Gate in the West Mountains. That part of the game hasn't been implemented yet.
Depending on how long development takes, it'll be coming in either v0.16 or v0.17.

Unfortunately, I can't. The Task List functions according to a plugin, and I'm not fluent enough in Javascript to modify it to add something like that. Even if I cobbled together a workaround, I'm not sure the plugin would let me pull the information necessary to determine which task is being tracked and what step is next so I can properly return the correct information to then display that step.
The next best thing that I know how to do and wouldn't take weeks to months of development to implement would be to give it it's own menu page so you can see the tracked Task right away on opening that menu page, which is what's already in the game.

I'm a decent few hours in, and critical hits seem to be excessively harsh on the player? Watching a boss crit one of my maids from full health to dead is getting a bit tiresome. I'm above the recommended level for the quests I'm doing here, and I'm keeping the buffs running as much as I possible can.
