Whenever I go back to Eliana, I just have the usual options of having sex, socializing, or tipping and when socializing, there is no new text. As for when I last played, looking at the save/load page, I last played 11/21/2022. Either way, I'll just restart, it wouldn't be the worst thing to do as I enjoy the game regardless. Thanks for the response and help!
Could very well be that. I don't often go that way except to take boat to sell weapons, which means I might not be noticing them if they are there, either. The few times I have looked for them after defeating them I'd only seen them once. Not a large sample size.
Hunting down the Space Marine in the beginning is a time-honored trial for me as well. When I first started playing I got him right away a few times in a row and thus didn't realize that he'd only show up at Sloppy Moes some 25% of the time or whatever it used to be. Then when he didn't show up several times in a row afterwards I figured that guy in Watery Eyes was him and he'd gone nuts and when I killed him I lost the chance to hire him!
That could be. This last run I do recall a few times I went up there and was surprised not to see them and it was decent weather, but that was a few times against many dozen (actually more like hundreds of) times that they were there and I took them out.
Try going up to Darkmere, look for a point of interest in the very top middle. Playing on Firefox I can barely see it, almost all of it is off the screen. Win that battle (or preclude it by a successful 'threaten') and Eliana is yours. You don't have to go at a specific time, the text is misleading there, you just have one chance at it and if you withdraw or lose you don't get her.
If damage kept scaling up endlessly with skill you could eventually just 1 shot everything with your bare hands. Combat would become trivial. To me that would not be fun. So you have to have limits in there somewhere or the combat mechanics become completely broken.
IIRC it’s just the brother one and the wealthy one if you pick that at the start, all the t4 stuff kinda shits up the game and makes it pointless tbh, the stats are way too high, you have too much money and reputation, the wealthy quest alone gives you more money than you can spend in the game after going to like 2 locations in the city, no combat or challenge or anything, just dumps a shitload of gold into your inventory
Affection is pretty easy to peg at Undying if you take advantage of all the ways to increase it like perfume, allowances and fucking them often and well (give them orgasms). Having them do something they like such as Averil becoming a professor or a Starlet working at the Golden Dragon helps as well. I don't know just how long it would stay there if you pretty much ignored them for a long time though as I don't do that.
That pretty much sums it up. I like playing the early game most actually and enjoy getting better having 'earned' it by having to overcome challenges. However I will say that after playing a few runs to 600-1000 days it was kinda nice to be able to start a new run essentially in the mid-game with a character I could imagine role-playing a little as something special.
Just as a point of reference, I've played 948 days in my Rise from the Ashes run and doing pretty much full-bore combat the whole time my Ranged Combat is at 181 and Melee Combat is at 358. There's not that many who're going to be interested in getting stats much higher than that and some would blanch at the idea they'd have to do so in order to get top combat ability.
Honor amongst thieves?
no, thieves have no honor, and also the thieves here are like robin hood, they don't benefit at all, I already got the version on 4chan, what surprises me is that no one shared it, it's the only game that happens this
3000 thousand dollars, wow! That's almost a million...actually that's 3 million dollars. You go Grim!
