Some of the random slaves are pretty nice. It actually inspired me to start a new game with a rather restrictive house rule to force myself to put a lot more focus on training up my slaves. No hiring any males with more than 25 health, and only random slaves allowed (either captured or from the auction house). Makes for a... challenging start. But so far it's fun.
I accidently capture one in my current game when i accidently runs out of ammo so it is implemented.
That's 8.2, so it will be a few days.
I do that too. Early on I tend to put a heavy emphasis on training up melee on both my main and my mercs via combat so I will usually use guns to kill anything with a gun stronger than a crossbow and then move in and melee anything with melee weapons, crossbows, etc. You do take more damage that way but you actually gain melee skill surprisingly fast that way.
Thanks for the heads-up, I missed an update somehow, I was still using 0.8.2 A5. So now we get only one rope, but we get a new easy target in Redhaven? That'll work. I've been playing around with a restart but I can't find anything that really satisfies me, now I have a reason to abort this one.
Everything, it will all be up to date, though the Public release won't have any material for the Tier-2 slave and such.
I really like both teen subduer and arouser. They make seduction so easy in the early game... I have recently decided that manipulation is more of an issue for me though. It's one of those stats that I have yet to find any reasonable way to improve. So I switched up my start to attractive, frightening, and dominant so I can start with 85 manipulate. That means I don't care if I ever gain any manipulate from any source other than books or classes so I can just buy up my charm and I'm good to go.
I figure since you can gain more medical skill by using doctor's kits I don't care if my skill gain from the medical books is less than optimal. As long as they get me above 40 that's all I need. The better heals from stims help a lot in the early game and the doctors kits make tier 6 bounties a LOT more viable without having to deal with stat losses. I did try a doctor background and starting with more than 40 medicine is nice, but it seems like a scientist build is generally better since you get higher intelligence and can basically duplicate the medicine skill with a couple of skill books.
The downside to being on the Patreon build is that he updates it too bloody fast. There's been 5 updates already in August. I suffer from FOMO, so I keep restarting
But why? They aren't groundbreaking changes.The downside to being on the Patreon build is that he updates it too bloody fast. There's been 5 updates already in August. I suffer from FOMO, so I keep restarting
Helluva problem to have mind you
Marriage and children was a stretch goal, and at the time Grim didn't expect to reach it so soon. Iirc he wasn't sure it'd be reached at all. So when it was reached, way before he was really expecting it, Grim felt he had to live up to the obligation to add that content asap. Rather than delay it and risk people feeling like he had promised this content and then not delivered it.
I decided to give that last template I posted a try. As for the easy one right outside the home, I'm not seeing anyone. Do you mean Ladicus? I usually bypass him because he's got two compatriots and none of them have guns and my very first goal is to get rifles for Bud and Ansel without having to buy them.
When you first start there's 2 enemies right outside your house (or at least there always is in my games). The lower one is a group of enemies. The one above that is a single guy with a pipe rifle. That's the guy I capture immediately. I go for him because he always sells for enough to get me some reasonble starting supplies. And sometimes he drops his pipe rifle.
Teen subduer/arouser is pretty fun in the early game. Pretty much any teen just does whatever you want right from the get go. It's not uncommon for me to be able to fuck Rebecca on my very first interaction with her even before I've bought more than just basic house upgrades with that start. That does require that she agree to a bath first though, which she doesn't always do. Aria is almost as easy.
No, I've never seen that guy. He wasn't there this game. I just had Ladicus and his two flunkies and the Redhaven semi-recurring gang. Ladicus does sell well though.
Heh, I've had different luck so far. I saw Michelle was Wildborn and tried to strip her but she refused. The bonus must not work for that and I thought Wildborn were auto-strips like Juno. She shed her clothes automatically like a good girl, but not Michelle. I think I'll see if the bonus works on the Dungeon now, Michelle has earned some stripes. She's Workaholic (yay!) so I have big plans for her this game.
This is the guy I'm talking about. I've never seen him not be there but maybe you're picking starting options that exclude him for some reason?
Really? Michelle turned you down? Did you upgrade her apartment before you took her home? That has always pretty much made her a guaranteed conquest in my games, especially with teen subduer. It's nice to have a super easy target to work on those initial caress grinding with. I alternate caress/kiss until she hits 8 arousal before I try to strip her. Sometimes girls will turn you down for stripping at low arousal.
